SO, Magpul now makes a "lite" sling, I know they make the 1 1/4" heavy, a few versions and also adapters to allow two-single point use. The stand alone adapter is very bulky, does anyone know of another manufacturer of a smaller version?
Overmolded cup. The BFG sliders and buckles are the same material. Metal conponents are heavier, noisier, more expensive, and get scratched up and scratch up your rifle. The only metal thing you want is the sling swivel itself.
