Mash Hook B-Sling

About this video

McPhee demonstrates how to properly set up and rig a rifle sling using a combat band and mash hook system. He covers attachment points, weaving technique, sling length adjustment, and explains how proper rigging keeps the weapon positioned safely and accessibly when worn across the body during various tactical situations.

Key takeaways

• McPhee secures the sling to the buttstock using a combat band placed behind the buttstock button to prevent forward or backward movement
• McPhee threads the sling through both buckles and back on itself to keep the sling captured and prevent twisting
• McPhee argues proper sling setup keeps the rifle hanging straight and stable between chest and collarbone height, preventing snagging or flipping when hands are off the weapon
• McPhee demonstrates the mash hook attachment at the front sight post allows quick repositioning of the sling tension by pulling or pushing without removing the weapon
