Forward Controls Design Sling Keep

[Duffy]

One day I was cleaning my parts bin, and found a piece of shock cord and Cordloc. I made it into something that keeps my sling from flopping around when the rifle isn't slung, which is most of the time unless I'm training or at a range.

I was using a piece of elastic cord from my ACOG ARD for this role before, but what I cobbled together is much better, because I can adjust it, and put it anywhere I want.

That is how Sling Keep came to be

The finished product functions much the same way as the one I made from parts in a bin, the ends are properly sealed and cinched/protected with a Zipcord.







Durability and adjustability are two of its main features. Unlike a rubber band that's not UV protected, the elastic shock cord is far more durable. Sling Keep is shipped partially assembled, it can be looped through holes and slots found on a stock.

The charging handle simply rides and rolls over the cord if the cord is in the path.

Sure you can make your own as we did, or use a free rubber band, do know its limitations though.

Sling Keep isn't fancy, it has a job to do and it does it inexpensively

That's the fanciest rubber band ever.... I want one.

Remember it's all about if works or not. And works well at that.

Not about if it looks good or fancy. But it looks like it can be blinged out somehow.

A Starlingear lanyard bead would fancy it up right and proper.

"Fancy". LOL

And maybe a makeshift tourniquet.

Sterling silver skulls to replace the Zipcord?

I'm really starting to like this new fancier Roger. Now if he'll just make some Cygnus poop stickers.

I'll grab four. I can ditch my rubber bands!

No more lobster claw rubber bands, you mean my $1k + rifle wont be ghetto fabulous with a red rubber band anymore?

[Duffy]

Haha you guys know what buttons to push

In my younger days, I had flashy things, and spent most of my money on clothes and cars, I still have some left over form that era but have grown wiser since. I went from a Cayenne Turbo S to a Diesel SUV, from Giorgio Armani and Hugo Boss everything to a polo shirt and shorts everyday, these days I emphasize and appreciate things that actually matter, appearances without substance are dishonest and designed to deceive.

We've discontinued anything made in titanium, LDFA was the only product ever made in Ti and it will be 4130, black nitrided going forward.

Polo shirts are pretty fancy, that's what made those Magpul videos good.

Damn it, foiled in my attempt to look like an average dude lol.

Took some new pics today with odd assortments of stocks and slings The adjustable length/tension does come in handy when dealing with long, wide, or thick padded slings.

Looks good, I'll need a handful.
