The NCSTAR Single Point Sling is a 30-inch (fully extended) black sling designed to fit AR-style rifles equipped with single point yoke rings. Single point attachment keeps the rifle close to your body while allowing rapid transitions between shoulders and quick deployment from carry to ready position.
Single point slings attach at one location on the rifle, typically at the rear of the receiver or buffer tube. This configuration lets the rifle hang naturally at your center line and pivot freely when not in use. The design works well for close-quarters movement, vehicle operations, and any scenario where you need to go hands-free without removing the rifle completely.
This NCSTAR model uses a single point yoke ring attachment system. If your AR has a compatible yoke ring installed, the sling connects directly without additional hardware modifications.

How Single Point Slings Work on AR Rifles
Single point slings differ from two-point and three-point designs by attaching to the rifle at only one location. That single anchor point is usually at the back of the lower receiver or on the buffer tube, positioned between the pistol grip and stock.
When you let go of the rifle, it hangs vertically in front of you rather than slung diagonally across your back. This position allows faster re-engagement and easier transitions to a sidearm. The trade-off is less stability during long-distance carries compared to a two-point sling that distributes weight across your shoulder and torso.
Single point yoke rings create a low-profile attachment loop around the buffer tube. The NCSTAR sling loops through or clips to that ring, depending on the specific yoke ring hardware you have installed.
Single Point vs Two Point Slings for AR Platforms
Choosing between single point and two point slings comes down to how you use the rifle. Single point slings excel in dynamic environments where you move frequently, transition between shooting positions, or need to bring the rifle up from a relaxed carry quickly. Law enforcement and competitive shooters running timed drills often prefer single point attachment for speed.
Two point slings offer better weight distribution during extended carry and more control when moving through brush or confined spaces. They also prevent the rifle from swinging into obstacles or your knees when you run. If you hike long distances or need to keep the rifle tight against your body during non-shooting tasks, a two-point design may serve you better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the NCSTAR single point sling fit all AR-15 rifles?
A: This sling fits AR-style rifles that have a single point yoke ring installed. Not all ARs come with yoke rings from the factory, so you should confirm your rifle has the correct attachment hardware before ordering. If you need help identifying your current setup, send us a message.
