Magpul Rifleman Loop Sling
Wednesday, July 11th, 2018Building on the heritage and proven performance of Magpul’s MS Sling series, the Magpul RLS (Rifleman Loop Sling) is a durable, lightweight, and affordable shooting aid and retention device. Combining the best features of Rhodesian and 1907 match-style slings, the RLS was created with Magpul’s famous proprietary nylon mesh webbing and high-strength polymer hardware.
As a Standard Weapon Sling
In a retention role, the RLS serves dutifully as an unobtrusive weapon sling and retention device, securely keeping the rifle tucked behind the shoulder.
As a Stabilized Shooting Aid
When called upon, the RLS is rapidly employed with the adjustable forward loop gripping the Rifleman’s support arm, locking in a steady shooting position and firmly planting the rifle butt against the shoulder.
The Webbing
At the core of the RLS lies Magpul’s proprietary chafe-resistant 1 ¼” nylon mesh webbing. Its tubular construction eliminates harsh edges that can rub or snag and provides double layers of cushioned comfort against the end user while shouldered. During employment, the strap’s smooth texture remains comfortable, even when torqued against the user’s arm. Like all Magpul slings, colored webbing is NIR treated to reduce infrared signature.
The Hardware
The Magpul RLS features lightweight reinforced high-strength injection-molded polymer hardware, and a proprietary sling keeper that leaves no tails or loose straps, eliminating snag hazards and distractions.
Lightweight and Durable
The Magpul RLS was designed with mobility in mind. At a mere 4.4 oz, the optimized weight of the RLS doesn’t add unnecessary ounces to the rifle and weighs less than many competing slings and straps. Like all Magpul slings, the RLS has been extensively tested to its limit to ensure reliability and performance in wet, dry, and sandy conditions, to include load and drop testing. It’s been hiked with, biked with, swam, climbed, hunted and shot (a lot) with in a variety of field conditions.
Versatile and Affordable
The RLS price point offers more value and function than almost any other comparable sling on the market. At $19.95, it offers a substantial advantage to the rifleman for the money. Whether on a shooting range or mountain range, the RLS performs excellent on almost any rifle configuration and caliber combination. The highly-configurable RLS accepts all Magpul 1 ¼” sling accessories as well as most third party 1 ¼” sling attachments.
Available in Black or Coyote.

Lockhart Tactical UBS-12 Under Barrel Mount – Shotgun Attachment System – 870 and Clones
Wednesday, July 11th, 2018The UBS-12 (Under Barrel Shotgun 12 Gauge) is a door breaching shotgun system manufactured by Lockhart Tactical.
Typically, Soldiers or Law Enforcement officers are forced to carry a breaching shotgun in addition to their standard issue rifle during operations.
The Lockhart Tactical UBS-12 removes this requirement. Consisting of a Grizzly shotgun embedded in their proprietary quick release mount, it is used in an underbarrel configuration much like the M203 grenade launcher.
This shotgun cannot be operated independently due to not having a pistol grip behind the trigger. When firing the UBS, the magazine of the parent firearm must be used as a pistol grip. Soon, they’ll release a proprietary Pistol grip and Buttstock which will be able to be quickly attached and detached on the UBS for independent firing without being attached to another firearm.
What can the UBS-12 Mount do for me?
Whether or not you’re a Solider, LE Officer or Professional using this device for breaching, our UBS has a lot to offer. Civilian Hunters can benefit immensely by carrying our tiny UBS under their favorite bolt action hunting rifle.
Apart for security reasons, Hunters could also quickly attach the UBS to help ensure they don’t go home from a hunt empty handed. Maybe you won’t see a deer cross your path, but if an unlucky flock of turkeys happens to surprise you… Seize the day! It features a 2+1 magazine which means its perfectly legal for hunting.
Attachment Mechanism:
The Lockhart Tactical UBS-12 features dual locking levers manufactured 100% in the USA by American Defense.
Mount Features:
The proprietary billet aluminum mounts are machined entirely in BC, Canada and requires a mere 10 picatinny rail slots (4″ / 10cm”) to attach securely. The UBS-12 mount features a proprietary quick attach Buttstock and Pistol grip combination to convert into a shoulder fire-able compact shotgun which still retains the ability to be under barrel mounted. The Quick Attach Optic mount will sit on top of the UBS while in the shoulder fired configuration and shall retain zero on optics when detached and reattached.
Firearm Platforms:
Our mounts will be compatible with the following firearms:
• AR15
• AR10
• SKS
• M4
• M14
• M16
• Robinson Arms XCR
• Norinco Type 97
• Just Right Carbines (9mm, .40, .45)
• Ruger 10/22
• MP15-22
• Mossberg Tactical 715T
• SCAR
• Heckler & Koch HK416
• Sig Sauer 522
• Sig Sauer 516
• SR-47
• AK47
• And More! (Strong Bottom Rail Required!)
Mount Specifications:
Weight: 0.2 lbs
Length: 7″
Width: 1.25″
Height: 2.75″
Available in Black or Flat Dark Earth.
