Key Features:
Green Beret-Designed Tactical Rifle Sling
The Mountain Partisan Sling by Shield Arms represents years of field experience distilled into one superior rifle carrying system. Designed by a former Green Beret who understood the demands of real-world combat and austere environments, this tactical sling combines proven features from military and competition slings while eliminating unnecessary complexity. Whether you're a professional operator, law enforcement officer, competitive shooter, or serious enthusiast, the Mountain Partisan Sling delivers the functionality you need when it matters most.
Built for the guerrilla fighter and rugged mountainous terrain, the Mountain Partisan line follows core principles of simplicity, effectiveness, ruggedness, and multipurpose functionality. Every design element serves a purpose: the two-stage progressive tension system provides secure weapon retention during movement while allowing rapid transitions to shooting positions. The solid lock bi-directional adjustment means you can tighten or loosen the sling from either side without readjusting your grip or breaking your sight picture. The abrasion-resistant shoulder sheath distributes weight comfortably during extended carry, while the redundant hardware ensures reliability when failure is not an option.
What sets the Mountain Partisan Sling apart is the included Kevlar Sling Loop—a heat-resistant attachment system rated for 800-900°F that allows quick weapon attachment without traditional mounting hardware. This means faster setup, reduced sound signature, and one less point of potential failure. The Kevlar construction withstands hard use, abrasion, and extreme temperatures that would destroy conventional sling attachments. Made in the USA and backed by Shield Arms' 100% lifetime warranty, this is a rifle sling built to perform in the most demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rifles is the Mountain Partisan Sling compatible with?
The Mountain Partisan Sling is universally compatible with virtually all rifles including AR-15, AR-10, AK-pattern rifles, bolt-action hunting rifles, precision rifles, and shotguns. The included Kevlar sling loop allows quick attachment to any rifle with a sling attachment point without requiring specific mounting hardware. This makes it ideal for users who need one sling system across multiple firearms.
What is two-stage progressive tension and why does it matter?
Two-stage progressive tension means the sling provides different levels of retention depending on your needs. The first stage offers comfortable carry tension for movement and patrol, while the second stage cinches tight for secure weapon retention during physical activities like climbing, running, or transitions. This eliminates the need to constantly adjust your sling between different activities, making it faster and more intuitive to use in dynamic situations.
How does the quick adjust system work?
The quick adjust system features an easy index thumb loop that allows you to rapidly lengthen or shorten the sling with one hand without taking your eyes off target. The solid lock bi-directional adjustment means you can make adjustments from either side of the sling, and once set, the sling locks firmly in place without slipping during use. This is critical for transitioning between different shooting positions or adjusting for gear changes.
Why is the Kevlar sling loop better than traditional hardware?
The Kevlar sling loop offers several advantages over traditional metal hardware: it's rated for extreme temperatures (800-900°F), making it safe to use even after sustained fire; it reduces sound signature compared to metal attachments that can clank; it's lighter weight; and it allows quick attachment/removal without tools. The high-temperature rating is particularly important for suppressed rifles or situations involving hot barrels, where metal hardware could fail or cause injury.
Can I use this sling for competition shooting?
Absolutely. While designed with tactical applications in mind, the Mountain Partisan Sling excels in competition environments. The quick adjust system allows rapid transitions between shooting positions, the solid lock prevents slippage during movement, and the comfortable shoulder pad reduces fatigue during long matches. Many competitive shooters prefer tactical slings for their versatility and reliability across different stages and disciplines.
What does "redundant hardware" mean?
Redundant hardware means critical attachment points and adjustment mechanisms have backup systems built in. If one component were to fail (which is extremely unlikely with proper use), the sling remains functional and secure. This design philosophy comes from military applications where equipment failure is not acceptable. It provides peace of mind for professional users who depend on their gear in critical situations.
Is this sling suitable for hunting?
Yes, the Mountain Partisan Sling is excellent for hunting applications. The reduced sound signature prevents spooking game, the comfortable shoulder pad makes long treks bearable, and the quick adjust system allows you to rapidly transition from carry mode to shooting position. The rugged construction withstands harsh weather and rough terrain. Many hunters appreciate having one high-quality sling that works across all their rifles rather than buying different slings for different purposes.
How do I install the Mountain Partisan Sling on my rifle?
Installation is simple and requires no tools. Thread the included Kevlar sling loop through your rifle's front sling attachment point (such as a barrel nut loop or handguard QD socket), then attach the rear of the sling to your rifle's rear sling mount using the same method or the sling's built-in hardware. The entire process takes less than a minute. For detailed installation instructions and videos, visit our installation guides page.
What is Shield Arms' warranty on the Mountain Partisan Sling?
Every Mountain Partisan Sling is backed by Shield Arms' 100% lifetime warranty. If your sling fails due to defects in materials or workmanship at any point during your ownership, Shield Arms will repair or replace it free of charge. This warranty reflects our confidence in American manufacturing and our commitment to making gear that lasts a lifetime.
Can I adjust the sling while maintaining my shooting position?
Yes, that's one of the key design features. The bi-directional adjustment system allows you to tighten or loosen the sling from either side without breaking your shooting grip or sight picture. The easy index thumb loop is positioned for intuitive access, meaning you can make adjustments by feel alone without looking at the sling. This is critical in dynamic shooting situations where maintaining situational awareness is paramount.
How does this compare to other tactical slings on the market?
The Mountain Partisan Sling distinguishes itself through its combination of proven features rarely found together in one system: two-stage progressive tension, solid lock bi-directional adjustment, high-temp Kevlar attachment hardware, and redundant components. While other slings may offer one or two of these features, few combine them all while maintaining the simplicity and ruggedness of the Mountain Partisan design. Additionally, being designed by a former Green Beret with actual field experience ensures every feature serves a real-world tactical purpose rather than just marketing appeal.
Is the sling comfortable for all-day carry?
Yes, the abrasion-resistant shoulder sheath distributes weight evenly across your shoulder, preventing the hot spots and discomfort common with thinner slings. The material resists bunching and sliding, maintaining its position during movement. Whether you're on patrol, hunting, or at the range, the Mountain Partisan Sling is designed for extended wear without fatigue. The adjustable nature also allows you to dial in the perfect fit for your body type and gear configuration.

- Military Personnel – Service members who need proven gear for austere environments and combat operations
