Setting up your Mash Hook B-Sling

About this video

McPhee demonstrates his method for setting up a rifle sling system, including attaching a combat band to the buttstock, weaving and securing the sling through buckles, and properly rigging it around the front sight post. He explains how this configuration keeps the rifle hanging vertically and stable when worn across the body, whether the shooter is standing, bending over, or performing other tactical tasks.

Key takeaways

• McPhee uses a combat band around the buttstock to secure the sling attachment point and prevent forward or backward movement
• McPhee weaves the sling through two buckles and feeds it back on itself to keep the sling captured and maintain proper gun positioning
• McPhee positions the sling so the rifle hangs between chest and collarbone height when worn, keeping the weapon vertical and accessible whether standing, bending, or performing other tasks
• McPhee recommends using a mash hook on the front sight post, which he argues allows quick deployment while keeping the sling securely attached
