Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1-point to 2-point conversion actually work?
The Vickers 221 uses Blue Force Gear's patented RED Swivel in combination with the new polymer Burnsed Socket. In 2-point mode, the RED Swivel is inserted into the Burnsed Socket at the rear of the receiver. To switch to 1-point mode, simply pull the RED Swivel knob and reinsert it into the single-point loop at the rear — the entire process takes only a second and requires no tools. Length adjustment remains fully functional in both modes.
Is this sling compatible with my AR-15 or other rifle platform?
Yes. The Vickers 221 with QD push-button (PB) swivel is designed to work with any rifle equipped with QD sling swivel sockets, which are standard on most modern AR-15, M4, and M16-pattern rifles, as well as many other tactical platforms. If your firearm has QD cups or sockets at both the front and rear, this sling will attach and function as intended.
How does the padded version differ from the standard Vickers Combat Applications Sling?
The Vickers 221 Padded Sling shares the same core construction and hardware as the legendary Vickers Combat Applications Sling (VCAS) but adds a wider padded section across the body of the sling. This padding distributes the weight of a loaded rifle more evenly across your chest and shoulder, significantly reducing fatigue during prolonged carry — making it an excellent choice for patrol, competition, or any mission requiring hours of sling use.
