I'm reviewing the MS4 sling from Magpul, which comes with QD attachments. If you recall, I previously reviewed the MS3, and this MS4 is its upgraded version. I'll be doing some shooting and then diving deeper into the sling's features. One thing I want to highlight is the sling's durable stitching and its nylon-based material, which is the same as the MS3. It's designed to be anti-fray, and my MS3 has held up to that promise. For those unfamiliar, the quick detach points are easy to use and have an anti-rotational feature, ensuring your gear doesn't just flop around. I've always appreciated both single and two-point slings. A two-point sling offers more security, especially when you need to be hands-free or are climbing obstacles. On the other hand, a single-point sling provides flexibility, especially when switching shoulders. The MS4 can function as both. Transitioning between the two is simple, and it's versatile for various rifles, from precision ones to AR-15s and shotguns. This sling is available in two colors: coyote and black. The coyote version is IR compliant, which is great for military personnel. Price-wise, they're typically between $50 and $60. But be cautious of fakes, especially those from China. I recommend buying from a reputable source or directly from a Magpul dealer.

While many associate Magpul slings with CQB, they're versatile for both CQB and precision rifle tasks. Currently, I have it in the standard single-point mode. The single point is great for quick maneuvers, allowing easy access to a handgun and keeping the rifle centered. However, its downside is the rifle's free swing. For tasks requiring stability, a two-point sling is preferable. Transitioning between the two modes is straightforward. In two-point mode, the rifle stays snug, and you can even carry it behind, freeing up your front. The MS4 sling also excels in precision rifle roles, offering easy adjustments. Its versatility means it's suitable for various rifles, from precision ones like the Mega Arms MA 10 to AR-15s and shotguns. Plus, it's proudly made in the USA. I highly recommend the Magpul MS4 sling,

I've set up a two-point sling using the MS4 on my AR-15 450 Bushmaster. I've got an M-lock QD mount on the guard's side, and I use the Rock River Arms adjustable stock's front mounting point for my setup. The great thing about the MS4 is its ability to easily convert from a two-point to a one-point sling. I lean towards the two-point configuration when I'm out in the woods for its ease. Some suggest replacing the buffer plate to shift the attachment point; I have the part but haven't installed it yet. If you're not familiar with gunsmithing, you might need expert help to make the switch.

The sling showcases high-quality stitching and durable nylon material, which is resistant to fraying. The quick detach points are simple to use, offering around 10-15 degrees of movement to ensure it doesn’t rotate excessively. The sling allows for both single and two-point configurations, providing flexibility for different situations. In the market, you'll find these slings primarily in coyote and black colors. However, be cautious of counterfeits, especially from China. I recommend purchasing from reputable Magpul dealers.

While many think of their slings for CQB, this one has applications in both CQB and precision rifle contexts. I've currently got it in the single point mode, which is excellent for fast maneuvering but can let the rifle swing too freely. For more stability, it can be easily converted into a two-point sling, which secures the rifle close to your body. In precision rifle scenarios, the MS4 can be adjusted swiftly for stabilization. It's versatile, fitting a range of rifles from ARs to shotguns. Made in the USA, I wholeheartedly recommend the Magpul MS4 sling.

Awesome sling! I was going back and forth about a 1 point/2 point sling for my rifle...until I found this one. I love how easy it is to change this one up and make it work for me in that specific situation. Well made should outlast me for sure. QD swivels move smoothly and connect/disconnect easily. Having both ends rotate also makes it simple to get any twists in the sling worked out. When not in use, it rolls up tightly and doesn't take up much room in my case. I always look to Magpul for my accessories, and they have yet to let me down.

This sling is well built -- I'm six foot and I still took a lot of slack out of sling. The sling easily transitions between single and dual modes. The adjustable slider is amazing and butter smooth, but doesn't slip on its own.

Incredible sling.

The sling is great, Highly recommended. I plan on buying another in the near future.

This Magpul ms4 sling is the most versatile AR Sling I've ever used. They keep improving the MS sling with each generation, and now I'm not sure how they can. I use the same type of sling on three different long guns so that all are set up the same, including a pump shotgun. The QD hooks are user-friendly, even with gloves on, and reliable. There's not a lot of excess material to get tangled up or hooked on your gear. The adjustment device is easy to use, again even with gloves and stays adjusted where you put it. I tape all metal and hard plastic parts on the sling to reduce noise, and there is no reduced versatility as a result. I use mine as two-point slings but can switch to a single point in a heartbeat. Love it.

Immediately upon removing this sling from the packaging, I suspected that it was going to be the best sling that I'd ever layed hands on. I hooked it up to my AR today, and it was clearly, BLATANTLY superior in every way to every sling I have owned prior (said slings include a cheap single point, a VCAS, and a VTAC). The swivels are top quality, the webbing is...just gorgeous, it's every bit as modular as I thought it would be, and it operates smooth as a baby's bottom. It's going to take some retraining to really get it figured out and second-nature, but I'm already certain that I've found the sling I've been looking for for years. As far as I'm concerned, this is a home run product for Magpul. I mean, I own other Magpul stuff (a PRS, a CTR, MBUS, MOE forend, a couple of rail sections, some other odds and ends) and know that they make good stuff, but I believe that this sling is just above and beyond. I didn't really want to spend this much bread on a sling, but truthfully it's worth it. I don't regret spending the money, now that I've toyed with it. I'm excited to learn it and really make it a part of my system. I'm completely impressed and totally satisfied and don't expect that sentiment to change anytime soon. This is a really good piece of kit.

The Magpul ms4 dual QD sling gen 2 is the best sling I've ever found, with QD swivels I can easily adjust how I want to carry my rifle, at the end of the buttstock, Center of rifle, Center to for-end, For-end to buttstock, All depending on where, what, and how I'm doing things, Easily completely detaches from weapon so you don't have to de-sling to let others examine/use the rifle, yet secure enough that it can't be forced away easily, Adjusts length quickly, and easily. Only sling ill ever buy, definitely going to have to get one for all my long guns.
