My wife wants to help out currently serving vets and so she has gone to some website where they can post requests for stuff.
She showed me this one where the guys in question want "tactical slings for M4 and M16 type weapons as well as Mossberg shotguns".
Not being a black rifle guy I need some guidance, particularly from some vets who have combat experience about good slings for real combat. I get plenty of catalogs with "tactical" gear advertised but I don't want to buy some Cheaper Than Dirt Chicom knock off made for wannabes.
The environment seems to be a marine one so I assume that the rifles in question will be slung for defense until needed rather than actively kept at the ready.
They also want "pull ropes for the above weapons". By this I assume they mean bore snakes or cable-type pull through cleaning rods. If there is something else called a "pull rope" please let me know.
