I bought two of the Proctor slings and mounted one on a 16" A-1 style carbine with triangular handguards because it was lightweight and fixed my mounting problems. I tried to like it because I was sold on it in principle and it is about the lightest adjustable you can find. It hasn't worked out that way though and the second sling remains unused at least for now. Texture just seems a little too slick to me. Others may not be bothered by this. Still I consider it a good product and eliminates the need for aftermarket sling mounts. Maybe I've been spoiled by the Vickers.
