Is there such a thing? I need just a basic, bare bones two point sling. Probably what the military would use. I can't seem to find anything on amazon, brownells, etc. They're usually trying to sell me something more complex. Can someone point me in the right direction?

For a m16a2 you'd be looking for a generic green nylon Web sling. Often called a "parade sling".

Around here the surplus stores have them for $10 last I checked, since we switched to the vcas.

ETA: hot link no work on mobile... here it is anyway.

Wow, I guess I have to question my internet-ing skills now, lol. Thanks for the links. I think the silent sling will work best for me.

Depends what you want to do. I figured you meant the parade sling. Great for an entry into high-power/bullseye/traditional shooting, without having to buy a leather sling (a must if you get serious).

You can get a vcas for under $50 last I checked. That's the current issue usmc sling. Itll do for general tactical type shooting and patrol type stuff. No need to elaborate more, just Google it, plenty of info.
