The NCSTAR Single Point Sling Tan 30″ Length (Fully Extended) Fits AR Style Single Point Yoke Rings is a compact retention solution for AR-pattern rifles configured with single-point attachment systems.
Single point slings attach at one location near the rear of the receiver, typically through a yoke ring or endplate loop. This configuration allows the rifle to hang muzzle-down when released and permits rapid shoulder transitions without re-routing the sling.
The tan finish suits desert and earth-tone rifle builds. The 30-inch extended length is measured at full stretch and determines how far the rifle will hang when slung.

Single Point Sling Attachment for AR Rifles
Single point slings require a dedicated attachment point, most commonly a buffer tube yoke ring or a receiver endplate with an integral loop. These mount between the lower receiver and the buffer tube during assembly.
The single-point design keeps the sling close to the body and centered on the shooter. When you release the rifle, it pivots at the rear and hangs vertically against your chest or side. This differs from two-point slings, which distribute weight across the shoulder and stabilize the rifle horizontally.
Because the rifle hangs from a single rear point, expect the muzzle to sweep downward when you let go. Single-point rigs suit shooters who need to transition quickly between shooting and hands-free tasks, such as opening doors or using a secondary tool.
Choosing Between Single Point and Two Point Slings
Single point slings excel at speed and weapon retention during close-range work. They allow the rifle to move freely across your body without adjusting buckles or sliding hardware. You can switch shoulders without removing the sling or threading the rifle through a loop.
Two-point slings stabilize the rifle more effectively when you need to carry it for extended periods or maintain a supported shooting position. They distribute weight across the shoulder and torso and prevent the muzzle from dropping or swinging.
Many AR shooters keep both types on hand and choose based on the drill or mission profile. If you’re unsure which configuration suits your setup, call 817-393-4000 and describe your use case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the NCSTAR single point sling tan fit all AR-15 rifles?
A: This sling fits AR-style rifles equipped with single point yoke rings. If your rifle does not have a yoke ring or endplate loop installed, you will need to add one during buffer tube installation. Call 817-393-4000 to confirm compatibility with your specific attachment hardware.
Q: What is the difference between a single point sling and a two point sling?
A: A single point sling attaches at one location near the receiver and allows the rifle to hang muzzle-down, enabling fast shoulder transitions. A two-point sling attaches at the front and rear, stabilizing the rifle horizontally and distributing weight for longer carries. Single point systems prioritize speed; two-point systems prioritize stability.
Q: Can I adjust the length of the NCSTAR single point sling?
A: The product name specifies a 30-inch fully extended length, but the specific adjustment mechanism is not detailed. Call 817-393-4000 to confirm adjustment features and range before ordering.
Q: How do I install a single point yoke ring on my AR-15?
A: Single point yoke rings mount between the lower receiver and the buffer tube. Remove the buffer tube, slide the yoke ring over the threads with the loop oriented downward or to your preferred side, then reinstall and torque the buffer tube. Lance Rankin and the gunsmithing team at Western Sport can install yoke rings if you prefer professional fitting.
Q: Is a tan sling compatible with a black AR rifle?
A: Yes. Sling color is a cosmetic choice and does not affect function. Many shooters mix tan and black components based on personal preference or to match specific camouflage patterns. The tan finish on this NCSTAR sling pairs well with flat dark earth, desert, and mixed-tone builds.
Q: Where is Western Sport located and how do I order this sling?
A: Western Sport is located in Roanoke, Texas, in the North Texas DFW area. Call 817-393-4000 to place an order, confirm specifications, or ask about other slings and swivels in stock.
