Does anyone know if this is a good sling for a tactical shotgun with a 18.5 inch barrel. Do not want to buy something that looks huge or to small!

my experience with these slings has been favorable. any sling which is well padded has an advantage over those without, i focus entirely on performance, not appearance.

its extremely adjustable. my shotgun is 18.5 and its perfect.just make sure you purchase some clips, as the sling does not come with any.

I have this on a Remington Nitro 887, 18 inch barrel. It looks great and hold a lot of shells. No worries, it fits perfect.

This is a outstanding sling for anyone that wants to carry (10) extra shells.

Put this sling on a shotgun with an 18.5 barrel .This sling worked perfect and is also very well made.

I have one on my 870 Express that is set up with a 18.5" barrel, and on a Maverick HS-12. Both are short tactical-type shotguns and the sling fits nicely. I have my slings oriented with the padded section towards the stock so the shotguns are not too front heavy when fully loaded with shells.

I am using this sling on a Stevens 320 tactical 12 ga. pump shotgun with an 18" barrel. This model has a slot through the middle of the butt stock, making sling mounting a challenge. This type of sling was adaptable to this type of mounting, similar to that of early Mausers. The sling itself is extremely strong and well made. It holds 10 shells firmly. I would recommend it.

Is it possible? Anything is possible, but I would doubt it. This is a nice tough sling and the canvas material I feel would make it difficult as it isn't as flexible as say as a Magpul sling.

No, it will not work. The swivels on this sling are sewn into it. It will only work if you have just the studs installed on the rifle.

My gun did not come with a sling. I also wish to note that the scope failed since having submitted a positive review. The reticle rotates. I can send the scope back with a check payment of $10.00 and I would if I thought that a new scope would not also fail under normal use.

Without seeing your rifle, I am not sure if its any different than a AK or SKS, but there are a couple of good videos on Youtube that show you how to properly install the AK Arsenal sling. Just do a search and you will find it. It sure helped me out and I installed my sling in about 5 minutes.

Not snug, this one is designed for rifles and shotguns with under barrel attachments. Get a standard shotgun scabbard, not a tactical one if you want a snug fit.

I see nothing on mine looking anything like somewhere designed to attach a sling. You'd have to rig something up on your own in my opinion. The butt of my gun has no extra hole in it like others mention, and you're still on your own for the barrel end.

Shannon, the sling is quite wide and definitely suitable for your purpose. I wish I had two trees outside from which to hang itas a hammock. Enjoy! It's really nice. It has a 300 lb. wt. limit.

Should work great for what you want. I'm using it on my 30-06. Very nice sling, gonna buy another for my sons gun.

Gamo makes a sling that fits over the stock and barrel. Not very expensive and it works well.

I have mine on a Mossberg Maverick 88. It is set at 41 inches pin to pin with about 5 more inches left. Mine feels really good and the padding on the sling feels good too. I am a old Marine so I have done my part of humping both slung and unslung. I would have been a lot happier with this sling but all we got was what Uncle Sugar gave us. Oh almost forgot you can't beat the price. I have mine set to fit my shoulder and it really feels good. HAPPY HUMP

Would not recommend for any shotgun barrel longer than a tactical model. Mine is 18" and scabbard just long enough to work.

The scabbard has plenty of room for scope, accessories etc,,, however the scabbard is very short. I have an 18" barrel on my tactical and it is just long enough to work well.

I wish I knew the answer to your question. I've given up on looking for a good and reliable sling for my camera, not familiar with the one you've mentioned though, sorry. It seems impossible to find a good and reliable one out there, I would love to be proven wrong though. Just don't want to take another chance of dropping my camera, scared the you know what out of me when it happen. Not sure if I want to take that risk again, goodluck in your searching.

It's 3' 6" long at full useable length. It won't be long enough for what you want. Since your shotgun will weigh less than seven pounds fully loaded it will make an excellent sling for carry purposes. I hope that helps. I have an 8 shot defender and with the extra length tube magazine it doesnt even make a good carry sling. It should just work with the five round tube magazine. Hope this helps you.

I've had no issues with that, but I don't carry on a sling. I will say that; If I unlatch it and release without pulling it back, it will automatically latch again. Both handles are spring loaded and the buffer spring holds this in the forward position via the bolt carrier, so, I would see no issue with unlatching. I will say that this is an awesome piece and anyone that has checked it out at the range also really likes it.

If you don't care about how it looks, wearing as a sling is actually a pretty good idea. Just make sure it won't be too tight.
