Frequently Asked Questions

How do you attach the front of a Blue Force Gear Vickers Sling without a QD mount?

To attach the front of the Vickers Sling without a QD mount, loosen the triglide fastener, feed the webbing through the front sling swivel on your handguard, and then re-thread the webbing back through the triglide to secure it around the swivel.

What is the proper way to attach the rear of the Vickers Sling to an AR-15 stock?

For the rear attachment, remove one triglide, feed the sling webbing through the designated slot on the stock (like an SOPMOD stock), and then re-thread the webbing through the triglide to create a secure loop.

Can the Blue Force Gear Vickers Sling be adjusted for length?

Yes, the Vickers Sling features adjustable length. The rear triglides are used for setting the overall length, while a quick-adjust pull tab at the front allows for rapid length changes on the fly.

What tools are needed to install a Vickers Sling without QD?

The primary 'tool' is the sling itself, which includes the triglide fasteners. You may need a sling swivel if your handguard or stock doesn't have an integrated mounting point. No specialized tools are typically required beyond basic manipulation of the webbing and fasteners.
