The Standard Issue Vickers Sling

The Standard Issue Vickers Sling has become the world's standard in combat weapon slings. After extensive testing including combat evaluations, this sling is issued with the USMC M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle and authorized for use with the M4, M4A1, and M16 series weapons. Read the full press release here.

The Patented Vickers Combat Applications Sling™ has revolutionized the way the US military approaches combat slings and has ushered in the “post 3-point sling” era. Developed to meet the requirements of former 1st SFOD-Delta operational member Larry Vickers, the VCAS™ incorporates key details that set this sling apart from all others. Over 250,000 Vickers Combat Applications Slings are in use by America’s Finest across every branch of service.

The Quick Adjuster - Contrasting Pull Tab

The contrasting color pull tab on the proprietary quick adjuster can instantly change the length of the sling to convert from carrying the weapon to a shooting position and quickly back again. When tightened, the sling has no excess webbing tail, springs, or moving parts that could fail, get tangled, or caught up in the weapon system.

Attachment Hardware Sold Separately 

The Standard Issue Vickers Sling attaches directly to fixed loop firearm attachment systems. Additional hardware can be purchased and added to the front and backend of the sling for more firearm attachment methods.

    go from 2 point to single point on the fly

    Posted by Mason on Oct 29th 2021

    Marines can break anything but Ive never seen a Vickers sling fail. Youre more likely to swap worn parts on your rifle before you need to swap slings. Over thousands of m16s and m4s that Ive personally been around, not a single one has had a Vicker sling failure. The pull tab is great and solid too, even when it looks like a sugar cookie ( sand). I have these on most of my private guns. I think the only improvement you could make to this sling is a QD mount in the rear of the sling near the buttstock that allows the front to interact with it, and go from 2 point to single point on the fly. It would be a great addition in my opinion but other than that, if I want a solid , and adjustable, proven sling for my weapons, I always go back to VCAS!

    Excellent 2 point

    Posted by Chris on Oct 29th 2021

    Excellent 2 point except one thing: with prolonged use, front end of the sling (where it attaches to the upper receiver) begins to loosen through the buckles. Easily fixed I'm sure by upgrading to a QD or other sling mount.

    best two point sling

    Posted by Sal on Oct 29th 2021

    The Vicker's CAS is the best two point sling I've used. It's well thought out with absolutely no fluff. It does what a sling was meant to do perfectly and consistently. I could not pay it a greater compliment.

    use one on my issue M4

    Posted by Matthew on Oct 29th 2021

    I really like the Vickers NSN sling. I use one on my issue M4 and its really handy. As a Medic, it allows me to cinch down the sling as needed for carrying litters, dragging patients, etc and allowing me not to damage my weapon, optics, or myself. I've since bought 3 for my personal rifles. Durability is also tops as I've had it for quite a while now and despite my best efforts haven't managed to break it or wear it our.

    VCAS sling

    Posted by Nick on Oct 29th 2021

    The VCAS sling I have has been great as advertised. The adjust ability of the sling length makes it ideal for when the rifle is slung for carry and to help support and make stronger different shooting positions. I have had mine for two years. It has seen 9 multi day classes and has held up well with no fraying of the thread or material.

    work rifle sling

    Posted by Ray on Oct 29th 2021

    I used on of these on my work rifle for the past couple years. It has taken a ton of abuse and traveled too many miles to count, and its still in great shape and functioning fine.

    simple and rugged

    Posted by Don on Oct 29th 2021

    Basically what all other slings are trying to be, except simple and rugged. Don't over complicate your sling, go with this one.

    I got issued one of these a while back

    Posted by Charles on Sep 23rd 2015

    I got issued one of these a while back, and I love it. The pull tab adjust the length easily and smoothly, its built like a tank I don't think I'll be breaking this.
