Description
The Magpul MS1 Paraclip Single-Point Adapter is the missing piece for anyone who already runs an MS1 sling and wants the freedom to switch carry styles on the fly. Pair it with your MS1 Sling and an additional Paraclip and you get a two-point sling for stability plus a one-point setup for direct-action work, all without stopping to re-rig anything. The Paraclip shackle clips onto looped attachment points like the Magpul ASAP plate and pops loose fast when you need to ditch or reposition the rifle in a hurry.
What Makes the MS1 Paraclip Adapter Tick
The hardware here is built to take a beating. The Paraclip lever is case-hardened steel finished with Melonite, which shrugs off wear and corrosion better than you'd expect from something this compact. Reinforced polymer handles the rest of the load, keeping the whole unit light without feeling flimsy. There's also a Cross-Bolt Lock Bar built into the Paraclip that lets you lock the lever closed when you want zero chance of it opening on its own, so you can run it locked for security or leave it quick-release for speed.
Webbing and Mounting Details
The custom 1.25-inch nylon webbing is snag-resistant and wear-tough while staying easy on your gear and clothing. The rear mount works with the Magpul ASAP for smooth shoulder transitions in one-point mode and plays nice with SGA receiver sling mounts, while the front side pairs with the RSA, MSA, and Forward Sling Mounts. It's also compatible with a lot of standard snap-hook sling loops and QD swivels, so it isn't locked into the Magpul ecosystem.
Folks running this on everything from AR builds to shotguns tend to point out the same things: strong casting, no sharp edges, and webbing that's sewn tight. It's a small upgrade that meaningfully improves how you carry and transition a long gun, and it's Made in the USA to boot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the MS1 Paraclip adapter come with an MS1 sling?
No, this is the adapter and Paraclip hardware only. To build the full convertible setup you'll want to combine it with the MS1 Sling (MAG513) and an additional Paraclip (MAG541). On its own it's designed as the interface that adds one-point capability to your existing MS1 sling.
What can I clip the Paraclip onto?
The Paraclip is made for looped attachment points like the Magpul ASAP plate, and the rear mount also works with SGA receiver sling mounts. The front side pairs with Magpul RSA, MSA, and Forward Sling Mounts. It also fits many snap-hook style sling loops with an inner diameter of at least 3/8 inch, though 9/16 inch or larger gives you full range of motion.
Can I lock the Paraclip lever so it won't open accidentally?
Yes. The Paraclip has a built-in Cross-Bolt Lock Bar that lets you lock the lever closed for extra security. Leave it unlocked when you want fast quick-release access, or lock it down when you want to be sure it stays put.
Will this work on something other than an AR?
It's built with AR-style rifles in mind, but the design is versatile enough for other long guns. Owners have run it successfully on shotguns and other platforms, noting the solid casting and strong webbing hold up well across different setups.
