The Allen Company Tac-Six™ Citadel Double Point Firearm Sling with Ladder Buckles (Model: AL8494) is a highly durable, versatile carrying solution engineered for tactical, hunting, and sport shooting applications. Designed to distribute the weight of your firearm evenly across your upper body, this double-point sling helps reduce fatigue during long treks in the rugged Australian bush. Unlike other models in the Tac-Six range that feature integrated QD swivels, the AL8494 utilizes front and rear ladder buckles, allowing shooters to thread the heavy-duty nylon webbing directly into standard GI sling swivels, QD loops, or aftermarket hardware. This mechanical accessory offers reliable, battery-free performance in demanding field conditions.

Key Features:

• Double-Point Configuration: Distributes firearm weight evenly across the body to minimize shoulder strain during extended carry.
• Ladder Buckle Attachments: Front and rear ladder buckles allow direct threading through existing sling loops, GI swivels, and custom hardware.
• Rapid Pull-Tab Adjustment: Features a forend pull-tab system for instant tightening against the torso or quick loosening for rapid shooting transitions.
• Tri-Sectional Custom Fitting: Built-in adjustment system adapts easily to different body shapes, tactical vests, or thick cold-weather hunting jackets.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with reinforced nylon webbing and robust stitching to withstand harsh outdoor environments and high-stress use.

Who It's For:

This firearm sling is designed for Australian hunters, sport shooters, and tactical enthusiasts who require a dependable, highly adjustable carrying system. Because it utilizes ladder buckles rather than proprietary integrated connectors, the AL8494 is particularly suited for shooters who need to swap a single sling across multiple firearm platforms, such as bolt-action hunting rifles, utility rimfires, or modern sporting rifles. Whether you are navigating dense scrub, climbing steep terrain, or participating in dynamic range sessions, this sling provides the security and rapid transition capabilities needed for hands-free mobility and quick target acquisition.
