Description
The Vickers 2-to-1 Sling takes the reference-standard Vickers Combat Applications Sling that Blue Force Gear has been sending to the U.S. military for years and gives it a genuinely useful trick: instant conversion between two-point and one-point carry. It runs 1.25-inch webbing with the same patented quick adjuster that made the original a favorite, so you can suck the rifle in tight for running or climbing and let it out for shooting positions or gear access. The MultiCam finish blends in nicely and the whole thing rides lean, no dangling tails or springs waiting to fail.
How the 2-to-1 Conversion Actually Works
The magic is in two pieces working together. A RED Swivel sits at the front toward the muzzle, and a molded polymer Burnsed Socket lives at the rear of the sling near the receiver. When you want to drop into one-point mode, you pull the RED Swivel knob to release it from the front mount, then reinsert it into the Burnsed Socket at the rear. The RED Swivel is a true emergency-release design, so if you ever need to free yourself from the weapon in a hurry, it comes apart without fine motor skills.
Why the Vickers 2-to-1 Earns Its Keep
Most of the time a two-point sling is the right call for control, whether you're on the range, hunting, or moving through the field. But there are moments, like piling out of a vehicle or working through tight interior spaces, where a one-point gives you more freedom to move the muzzle around. Having both in a single sling means you're never stuck with the wrong tool. The quick adjuster stays fully functional in either mode, which is the part a lot of convertible slings get wrong.
Built the Way Vickers Slings Have Always Been Built
Hardware is glass-reinforced DuPont Zytel nylon, which is lighter, quieter, and more flexible than metal. It lays flat against your body, won't scratch a Cerakoted or anodized receiver, and shrugs off hard use. The 1.25-inch webbing threads onto standard sling swivels or loops and works with M4-pattern carbines and plenty of other rifles. Made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, it's the kind of gear you set up once and forget about.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Vickers 2-to-1 Sling switch between two-point and one-point?
You pull the knob on the RED Swivel to release it from the front mounting point, then reinsert it into the Burnsed Socket near the rear of the rifle. That drops you into one-point mode in a matter of seconds. Reverse the process to go back to two-point, and the quick adjuster keeps working in both configurations.
Does this sling work with standard QD sling swivel sockets?
Yes. The front uses a RED Swivel, which is a quick-detach design that clicks into any standard 1.25-inch QD socket on your rifle. If your rifle has QD points at the front and rear, it drops right in.
What is the RED Swivel and why does it matter?
RED stands for Rapid Emergency Detachment. It's a true emergency-release swivel that lets you free yourself from the weapon quickly without needing fine motor skills, which is handy if you ever get tangled up or need to ditch the rifle fast. It doubles as the front attachment point for normal carry.
Will the nylon hardware scratch my Cerakoted or anodized rifle?
No. The glass-reinforced DuPont Zytel nylon hardware is what Blue Force Gear ships on most of its military slings. It's lighter and quieter than metal, lays flat against your body, and won't mar a Cerakoted or anodized finish.
