SO I Just got my PTR 91, dont know what sling to get.

What do you guys suggest? post links here and any reviews and opinions?

The leather one for the G3 is nice & economical.

The nylon 'multipurpose' one is a bit more $, and is rather complex.

I don't find it very useful in it's original form and discard the double buckle & extra piece, leaving a simple sling out of it.

What do you want to use the sling for?

Simply carrying rifle over your shoulder?
Slung for immediate action?
Competition shooting?
Standing guard during SHTF?

HK91 LEATHER SLING - EXCELLENT

 

[Nobody]

I love the 3 point sling on all my rifles, it can be slung over my shoulder thrown down into a drop sling or rest at the ready across my chest. They aren't HK made but it's one of the best rigs I have ever used or will use

I know people that would pay extra for that thing, and they don't even have the gun...

HK91 LEATHER SLING - EXCELLENT

That sling is Out of Stock and just like the "New Condition" part number likely to remain so forever.

This is in stock

A standard 2-point sling will work for hunting and simple movement during SHTF. For tactical movement during SHTF then you should look to a 3-point sling to allow the weapon to be carried at the ready.

If the weapon is to be slung for extended periods with only minimal shooting I have found one of those stretchy neoprene type slings to work EXCELLENT for taking the strain off my shoulder. They are a 1" web on either end with a wider piece of neoprene about a foot or so long where it sits on shoulder. The neoprene acts like a shock absorber for your shoulder and works surprisingly well at it.

I have the HK 3-point and while it works, it is a bit uncomfortable with its narrow 1" unpadded webbing supporting a 9+ lb rifle. Though if I was wearing body armor it would work well as it wouldn't be resting directly on my shoulder. One big advantage it has over pretty much every other 3-point sling is that there is a minimum of pieces-parts and it easily converts to a handy 2-point sling.

also do have to get any special hardware with the sling or does that usually come with it?

If you buy an HK specific sling the appropriate hardware is included.

This is the 3-point sling I bought.

Green 3-Point Sling New, HK G3, HK91, PTR91, HK33, HK93, MP5, HK94, HKK-1518, RTG Parts

It says it is the longer style for .308 rifles but I think it was actually for the HK21 MG. I don't know how much longer it is then the shorter version but it has WAY more length then needed for the 91. Though too much is always better then too little and can be trimmed if it bothers you.
