Effective and reliable two-point sling. The streamlined thin and narrow sewn-on pad carries most carbines/rifles comfortably without hindering quick and smooth handling.

An effective, simple and reliable two-point sling, originally designed for a special military client of ours. The MW (midweight) Griffin sling features thin and narrow sewn-on padding, designed primarily for medium weight carbines and rifles. The streamlined padding is very unobtrusive but offers just enough of width and cushioning to make a notable difference compared to an unpadded sling.
Our grip tab equipped aluminium rapid adjustment slider gives the Griffin Sling effortless, effective and highly reliable quick adjustment, no matter the conditions and what type of gloves you are wearing.
RAPID ADJUSTMENT SLIDER
The heart of the Griffin Sling is our proprietary rapid adjustment slider. Quick, effortless adjustment provides easy transition between carry-shoot-carry etc. in all conditions. We know the world is full of sling adjustment buckles, and most of them are pretty good too. We chose to design our own adjustment hardware due to these simple reasons:
1) It should be solid metal without any moving parts 2) It should have proper serrations and protrusions for gripping 3) It must be be grip tab compatible for use with winter handwear 4) And it should preferably be made in Finland
If you hate the webbing grip tab, or just don’t need it or whatever, you can cut it off. The serrated sides and protruding webbing attachment point offer good grip as is.
INSTALLATION
As this is a simple two-point sling you don’t need to play around with numerous ends of webbing, just two. The 25 mm / 1 ” webbing fits most sling swivels and mounting hardware out there. We make these with long enough webbing ends to reach around most people.
1. Open up the rear webbing loop by threading the webbing end out through the steel tri-glide buckle. Loop the webbing through the sling swivel, buckle, stock or what ever attachment point you are using on the rear of your firearm. Rethread the webbing through the buckle and do a U-turn to lock it into place.
2. Open up the front quick adjustment webbing loop and remove the steel tri-glide from the webbing. Loop the webbing trough your front sling swivel or buckle, reattach the steel tri-glide and loop the webbing around the rapid adjustment slider and back through the steel tri-glide.
3. Try playing around with different adjustment lengths to the front and rear. When you’ve found the suitable setting you can then roll and tape the excess webbing ends into neat bundles. Or, if you dare, cut and burn them.
ORIGINS
The Griffin Slings are the commercial offspring of a bunch of slings we designed for a military client according to their requirements. It all began with our client needing proper padded two-point slings for all kinds of small arms, including sniper rifles and light machine guns.
The slings should carry heavy weight as comfortably as possible, feature forward-pull-to-lengthen quick-adjustment, fit various mounting hardware and be effective and reliable in ”sub-optimal conditions” (it’s -30 °C, you’re suffering from sleep depravation and wearing thick winter gloves and using NVG’s that mess up your view of anything within arms length).
The first model designed was the heavyweight (HW). After that came the midweight (MW) version for carbines, and the lightweight (LW) for SMG:s. Lastly came the hybrid of the MW and LW the modular/modified (MOD), built around the LW but with a moveable/removeable pad.
Since these turned out pretty nicely we decided to make these available to the public. So, here you go: the Griffin Slings - decently high-speed low-bullshit slings, named after that mythical half-bird half-cat creature for some peculiar reason.

Perfect for my MR 223
Looks sick and feels great while shooting
Toimii rynnäkköhaulikossa juuri niinkuin pitääkin, ase on helppo kantaa rinnalla, ja ase on sekunnissa ampumavalmis. Materiaalit ja työnlaatu ovat kestävän tuntuisia, suosittelen.
Toimii varmasti myös metsästyspassissa paremmin kuin perinteiset hihnat, mikäli laittaa hihnan kiinnityspisteet sopiviin paikkoihin.
I use this sling for hunting and I am very happy with it. It is lightweight but still very strong. Carrying the rifle for a long time is comfortable and does not hurt the shoulder. The adjustment is easy and works well even with gloves, which is very important for me.
I use it with a 1.25 inch ULoop (BLUE FORCE GEAR) and it fits perfectly, no problems at all.
Great quality and easy to use. They way I carry my rifle, a standard sling will be to short if I need to transition to my left shoulder, but with this sling I can simply extend it with one quick movement.

Thanks for your feedback! 😊 We totally understand that preferences may vary regarding the rigidness of the sling.
I use this sling together with the Slinghooks on both my SKS and my Heym SR30 bolt action.
The adjustable lenght makes it adjustable for both rifles. Either the Hook is metal so I detach the sling when I sit in my dear stand to avoid noises.
What I like is that you can adjust it in a way that the sling stabilize the rifle when you aim down sights a target. The sling adjustment keeps the position you choose very good and does not change also when you but some tension on it.
Very nice investment and really a good quality. Seems very robust!
It is my favorite sling.
