Description
Every long gun deserves a good sling, and the Allen Slide-N-Lock Web Sling is one of those simple, dependable pieces that just works. Built from heavy 1.25-inch nylon webbing in a low-key black finish, it carries your rifle or shotgun comfortably whether you're glassing a ridge, walking to your stand, or standing at the bench between strings. The star of the show is that Slide-N-Lock buckle, which lets you shorten or lengthen the sling on the fly and then lock it exactly where you want it.
What Makes the Slide-N-Lock Buckle Worth It
Most budget slings make you fight with a friction adjuster that slips right when you don't want it to. This one uses a special quick-adjust buckle that grabs and holds, so once you set your carry length it stays put. Great when you're switching between a tight shooting loop and a looser shoulder carry without stopping to fuss with hardware.
Length, Fit, and Everyday Carry
The Slide-N-Lock Web Sling adjusts from roughly 24 inches out to 40 inches, which covers everything from a compact carbine to a full-size hunting rifle. The 1.25-inch webbing is wide enough to spread the weight across your shoulder and cut down on that dig-in feeling after a long day on your feet, but still slim and quiet enough that it won't get in your way.
Swivels Included and Ready to Roll
This sling ships with swivels already attached, tested to hold up to 300 pounds, so there's no scrambling for extra parts before your next outing. The nylon construction shrugs off weather, brush, and hard use, making it a solid pick for hunters, plinkers, and anyone who wants a reliable carry setup without overthinking it. It's the kind of sling you buy once and forget about because it just does the job.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Allen Slide-N-Lock Web Sling come with swivels?
Yes, it ships with swivels already attached, so you can mount it and go. The swivels are the quick-detach style and have been tested to hold up to 300 pounds. That covers you for most standard rifle and shotgun sling studs right out of the package.
How does the Slide-N-Lock adjustment actually work?
It uses a special quick-adjust buckle that lets you slide the webbing to your preferred length and then lock it in place. Unlike a basic friction slider, it holds where you set it instead of creeping loose under weight. That makes it easy to switch between a tight shooting position and a relaxed shoulder carry.
What length rifles does this sling fit?
The sling adjusts from about 24 inches up to 40 inches. That range handles everything from a shorter carbine to a full-size bolt-action hunting rifle. The 1.25-inch webbing is a common width that pairs well with most standard swivel setups.
Is this sling wide enough to be comfortable for all-day carry?
At 1.25 inches, the webbing spreads the weight of your firearm across your shoulder better than a thin strap. It won't feel like a padded competition sling, but for hunting, plinking, and range use it carries comfortably without digging in. The nylon material also stays quiet and holds up to weather and brush.
