Allen 8451 Slide-N-Lock Sling made of Black Nylon Webbing with 24"-40" OAL, 1.25" W, Adjustable Design & QD Swivels for Rifles

The Allen 8451 Slide-N-Lock rifle sling is an adjustable carry solution built for hunters and shooters who need a reliable strap that stays put when you need it and adjusts fast when you don't. Built from 1.25-inch-wide black nylon webbing, this sling combines straightforward functionality with genuine durability—no unnecessary bulk, just honest gear that works across rifle types and hunting scenarios, from brush work to long days glassing hillsides.

The standout feature here is the Slide-N-Lock buckle mechanism. Unlike traditional slings where you're fidgeting with knots or wrestling with sliding adjustments, this buckle lets you lock the sling at your preferred length and keep it there. When you do need to adjust—say, moving from carried to ready position—the design allows quick repositioning without breaking down the whole setup. That's the kind of practicality that matters in the field.

Hardware-wise, the included quick-detach swivels are tested to 500 pounds, meaning they'll handle the real-world stresses of hunting, range shooting, or general carry without question. The 24-inch to 40-inch adjustable overall length accommodates different body sizes and clothing layers, and the nylon webbing shrugs off weather and hard use. This is a sling that blends speed and security—no fuss, no gimmicks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What firearms or rifle types does this sling work with?

The Allen 8451 works with any rifle equipped with QD mount points. Quick-detach sling swivels are standard on most modern hunting and tactical rifles, as well as many older bolt-action rifles. If your rifle has QD mounts, this sling will attach; if not, you can add QD mounts to most firearms with a gunsmith.

How does the Slide-N-Lock buckle work?

The Slide-N-Lock buckle lets you position the sling at your preferred length and lock it in place with no shifting or slipping. When you need to adjust, the buckle releases for quick repositioning—useful if you're moving from carry to ready position or accommodating heavier clothing.

Is this sling comfortable for long carries?

The 1.25-inch-wide nylon webbing distributes pressure across your shoulder, and the adjustable range (24–40 inches) allows you to dial in the fit for your body and clothing. Most users find wider webbing more comfortable than narrow straps for extended carries, especially when bearing a heavier rifle.

What's included?

The sling comes with quick-detach swivels already attached, so you only need QD mounts on your rifle to install it. No additional hardware required.
