Bl Force Pad Vickers Slng Mtl Hw Blk
The Blue Force Gear Padded Vickers Sling with metal hardware is a purpose-built rifle sling designed for shooters who need serious comfort without sacrificing tactical capability. Built around the proven Vickers sling platform, this padded version adds a 2-inch closed-cell foam pad across the rear section where the sling rides on your body during extended carry. The pad stays put—it's sewn inline and won't migrate up and down the sling, and the closed-cell foam won't absorb water or deteriorate like open-cell alternatives. This makes it an excellent choice for hunters, tactical shooters, and anyone running a modern carbine or rifle who spends long hours afield.
What sets the Vickers system apart is its dual-purpose design: wear it hands-free across your body for the carry, then quickly transition to a tight shooting configuration with a simple pull of the Quick Adjuster on the front section. The sling is constructed from solution-dyed CORDURA webbing—tough, UV-resistant, and proven in professional use. Metal hardware includes an anodized aluminum Quick Adjuster and phosphate-coated steel triglides, so everything operates smoothly and handles hard use. The reversible mount design also gives you flexibility in how you configure it.
At 57 to 67 inches adjustable length, the Padded Vickers works well on M4 carbines, modern sporting rifles, and other rifle platforms where you're mounting it through swivels, loops, or standard sling attachment points. If you've been running a sling that digs into your shoulder after a long day of shooting or hunting, this is the upgrade that actually solves that problem while keeping the speed and function you need in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this sling work on my AR-15 or modern rifle?
Yes. The Padded Vickers Sling is designed for M4 carbines and other rifles with standard sling attachment points. You'll secure it using triglides through existing swivels, loops, or sling hardware on your rifle.
What makes the padding different from other padded slings?
The 2-inch pad is made from closed-cell foam, which means it won't separate, deteriorate, or absorb water weight over time. The pad is sewn inline along the rear section and stays in place—it doesn't slide up and down the sling as you move.
How quickly can I transition from carry to shooting position?
The Quick Adjuster on the front section lets you rapidly lengthen and shorten the sling with a simple pull, making fast transitions from hands-free carry to a tight shooting setup.
Can I use this on a shotgun or bolt-action rifle?
Yes. The sling features a reversible mount design that supports muzzle-up carry, making it suitable for military applications, bolt-action rifles, and shotguns in addition to modern carbines.
