I have tried several and settled on the Padded V-Tac  (Viking Tactics) sling. Its comfortable for all day carry and is EXTREMELY fast to get on target.

Watch the video on how to use it.

You got the same problem I do - snow jammed into the end of the barrel

 :)   Actually that is a compensator, no snow in the barrel there. I always tape the muzzle with electrical on all my guns while hunting. I had already killed my buck that morning and just out playing with my camera when that pic was taken.  :tup:

(I know what it is  :rolleyes:   some call it a flash hider, others call them compensators, some call it flash compensator, some call it flash eliminator, some call it muzzle brake, some call it flash suppressor.....I was trying to cut through all that)

Do you tape through the compensator openings?  I was worried it would affect the cold bore shot.

I got a boot for it now though.

For those not familiar with the MagPul MS3 that I like using as a single point. With a single press of the snap release. I can release it from the single point configuration and snap the free end to one of my MagPul RSA sling adaptor loops mounted on the rail/ handguard and BAMB! Instant two pint, quick adjustable at that. Just amazing. :tup:

 Its a full on comp or muzzlebrake,  (more of a flash enhancer really  :chuckle:) , .308 but shoots like a .223.
 I wrap the whole thing doesn't affect accuracy at all,


sorry for the thread hi-jack
