Blue Force Gear R.E.D. Sling Swivel

OptimusPrime

New release from Blue Force Gear... "Trapped in a burning bird or stuck in a sinking HMMWV - you can’t let your weapon hold you back. The Rapid Emergency Detachment™ (RED™) swivel replaces standard sling push buttons swivels with a pull cord emergency release. Even in the heat, if you can grip with a finger, thumb or teeth, you can release the RED™ swivel and detach your sling with less than seven pounds of force. Finally, weapons have an emergency release just like a parachute reserve or an ejection seat – because easy’s not a button.

  • Pull Button – it’s easier and faster to detach, 'cause easy is not a button
  • Fits in standard push button sockets – you don’t have to buy an extra attachment
  • 10 degree activation radius – detaches when you want, not when you don’t
  • 1 to 2 point sling – one comfortable sling for various scenarios
  • Patent Pending – you have the genuine, original product
  • Phosphated, machined steel – prevents rust and corrosion, so it looks newer and functions better longer
  • Aircraft grade seven strand stainless steel cable – if the coating wears away over time, the cable won’t
  • 4 stainless ball bearings
  • 7lbs. to activate
  • 300lb breakage strength
  • Sphereo-conical shaped knob – just enough grab: not to get snagged
  • Stainless steel spring

Every time weapon is lubed, the RED™ swivel should also be lubed to keep it functioning smooth."
