Storing a Rifle with a Sling

Sometimes the simplest ideas can make a big difference. Enter the Sling Sleeve, a straightforward yet highly effective tool for managing rifle slings. When storing your rifle or carbine, the Sling Sleeve easily manages the slack of the sling while still allowing for rapid deployment of the sling. It’s ideal in gun safes, on a rack, or in a vehicle.

What is the Sling Sleeve? 

The Sling Sleeve is a 5-inch piece of military-grade elastic that's been folded and stitched into a loop. This incredibly simple accessory sits out of the way on your sling but when needed, holds the sling tight and secure, preventing snag hazards. 

How to Install the Sling Sleeve: 

1. Remove the rear of your sling from the rifle. If you have a Push Button, this only takes seconds.  
2. Slide the Sling Sleeve over the rear end of your sling and mounting hardware. 
3. Reattach the sling to the rear of the rifle. 

When not in use, the Sling Sleeve simply hangs on the sling without interfering with normal operation. To employ it: 

1. Adjust the sling to its shortest length – if using a Vickers Sling or GMT Sling this mean to take all the slack out of the adjuster. 
2. Z-fold the sling. 
3. Slide the Sling Sleeve over the folded portion of the sling. 

The durable elastic of the Sling Sleeve holds the sling in a neat bundle, safe and out of the way from getting tangled or caught on other gear. 

Need to use your sling quickly? No problem. Simply grip the sling with your support hand and pull it out of the Sling Sleeve. The sleeve will slide off but remain on the sling and out of the way of the Quick Adjuster. 

Whether you're a professional end-user or a prepared civilian, the Sling Sleeve is an inexpensive and simple accessory that should be present on all two-point slings for easy storage and rapid deployment capabilities.
