Spec ops Brand Mamba Sling

Any of you smooth operators ever use one of these?

And I don't want to hear any crap about what I said about slings before - different application.

Haven't tried it.

I am currently running Eagle, CQB Solutions, and a couple of no names.

I currently have one of these on My Bushmaster 20 inch A3 rifle, and I like it quite a lot. It has a few little quirks that I am not a huge fan of, but they were pretty easy to remedy. My major gripe was with the loop that goes around the buttstock. While I have been playing with the rifle, this loop has slid off of the stock several times now. My solution was to zip tie it to the rear sling loop with a couple small ties.

I readily admit that I am not that smooth, and would Not claim to be an operator (since I don't answer phones for a living anymore). But if you have any questions about this sling, I will be happy to offer my uneducated civilian input.

I see a lot of people running those here. I don't know how many of them I would call smooth operators though. I have never used it myself. I have a variation a buddy makes that is a combo Mamba, Hk sling I like quite a bit. Right now I'm using a centered single point. I have a retention loop for when I need it to stay tucked to my body.

I have been using one of these for about 7 months or so now. I got it because another guy on the team had one and I thought that I would give it a shot. I like it except that it has a tendancy to get hung up on my kit when I transition to my secondary. It is annoying but not enough to make me get rid of it.
