| What are people using for a sling on their MSAR STG-556s? I tried my VCAS that I use on my ARs but found that it interferes too much with the charging handle. I'm considering trying a single point. Does anyone have any suggestions? |
The balance on the STG is a little weird for a single point. I'm currently using a 5.11 single point sling with mixed results. Ive got it mounted with one strap around the stock just forward of the forward assist. Then I ran a second strap from the bottom of the buttstock and through the first mounting point to take a little of the flop out. Still not sure how i like it...

A rear sling adapter might help.rear adapterScroll down a little until you see the adapter for the STG.

I've seen the Urban ERT adapter and I have one of his two point/single point slings so I could try that relatively cheap. I'll have to try looping my Vickars under the forward grip. Could you post a pic of what that looks like so I can see what you're doing? I just tried this myself and it works surprisingly well (not perfect, but better for me than a single point) and keeps the charging handle clear. I'll post some pics by this weekend. Tomac |

I just got our STG slings in. I ordered 2 Urban-Sentry Hybrid sling kits. We also got the extra quick attach swivel stud and the belt loop weapon catch adapter.
Install was pretty easy. I decided to get the extra quick attachment for the front of the weapon as it has less webbing and it straight plug and play. I really must say they are the most comfortable single point sling I have ever worn! I did try one out in the 2 point and was not unhappy at all. I just like the single point more. I do like the ability to convert it to a two point in a couple of mins. I say give them a try.  The video doesn't do the slings justice as for the construction of them. They are very well made slings.
I will post a few close up pics as I get time later today. |

Here are the pics I promised; one shows my son's STG w/a GearSector ASP single point sling and one showing my STG w/a std silent sling going over the top of the rifle then down and back behind the VFG yet in front of the trigger guard. While I like how the ASP doesn't interfere with the charging handle I find the STG's weight to the rear makes it less stable than most other rifles w/single point slings. W/the silent sling carried AK-style (over the neck) I find it hangs better for me (YMMV) yet is just as fast to get into action.
