Advanced Warfighting Solutions makes a Great Quality Sling
A good quality sling is arguably the most important accessory for any rifle. However, a good sling can easily cost you $100, so scaling that across a few rifles can get expensive fast.
I prefer instead to buy my sling components separately and that way, I can save a little bit of money. One of the best slings you can buy comes from AWS, Advanced Warfighting Solutions. Their two point padded sling retails for $39.99, but it goes on sale frequently for $22.50.

The AWS Padded sling often goes on sale for $22.50. If you wait for a sale, this can be a really economical option for your rifle
The AWS Sling is high quality
The AWS sling is really well made, has quality adjustment hardware, and really good stitching. They are definitely built to last. They come in a huge variety of colors. This one is their woodland pattern.
AWS Sling Pairs well with Magpul Hardware
However, they don’t come with sling mount hardware, so I like to pair these with Magpul Quick Disconnect Sling adapters. Magpul QD sling swivels run about $14 each. Generally speaking you can thread your sling through the buttstock of your rifle, and use a QD sling swivel to connect to the handguard, so for many contexts only one is required unless you specifically want quick disconnect points at both ends of the rifle.
Magpul Sling Swivels
Magpul QD Sling swivels are high quality and very affordable. They take a bare bones sling to the next level, adding quick disconnect functionality to any two point sling.
Pairs well with Magpul QD Attachment Points
If your handguard doesn’t have QD attachment points, but does have MLOK attachment points, Magpul makes a great MLOK QD adapter.

The Magpul QD sling attachment points can connect to any MLOK rail. They are excellent for mounting your sling to your rifle with a quick disconnect if your handguard doesn’t already have a QD attachment point.
So for under $40, you’re looking at a high quality sling setup that is affordable enough to run on all of your rifles and shotguns.
The AWS Sling is easy to adjust, but it is not bi-directional
I like the AWS sling because of its functionality. It has a quick pull tab for easy adjustment. However, keep in mind the adjustment is not two ways like other more expensive slings, so that is a drawback of this particular setup that you should be aware of.
Final Thoughts
Overall though I’m a big fan of AWS products. This sling is no exception. Definitely consider picking one up and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
