01 Aug 2012
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."
