Excellent Sling!! Writing this review before I get the Merchandise but have a couple other BFG slings and they just kick butt!! The adjusting part of the sling is so sweet and quick to go along with the sweetness. The wire loops are wonderful as well since you can attach them to just about any type of connection, anywhere on the rifle. I love "Vickers" goodies as well as they are really thought through. Just good stuff, any way you look at it. Maybe a bit spendy but as the saying goes, buy once cry once. You will never regret buying anything from BFG!!

Failure to ship products in a timely… Failure to ship products in a timely manner is mismanagement from the very top. Staff suffer from lack of leadership, operational mismanagement, lack of industry SOPs and ways of working. The foolish decisions in operations has inventory material allocations “robbing Peter to pay Paul” and it has been catching up on them. BFG prioritizes big contracts over all other sales channels. They even risk their big contracts as they barely get the product out the door at the lates possible hour. Their failure to meet contract shipment dates could happen any day. Failure begins at the top. AB is the owner who is a fool who reads books and gets excited over a few concepts, but lacks practical application in his own operations. He wants to come off as an inspirational thought leader, but comes off as an empty fool to those who can see through his bull. AB openly calls out departments as “failures” and verbally attacks and ridicules staff in meetings. His “rule by fear” has the majority of mid management not speaking up in fear they will be decimated them next. Their high turnover in management, mid-management, and professionals at all levels is because AB and his hand selected “gang” of bullies. Do you really expect “bonus room” staff to properly run a multimillion dollar company? The boys need to put their big boy pants on. They can’t run this size business as a mom-and-pop operation any more. AB also rules with distrust of his staff because he (through a few key others) record employees and monitors conversations. They monitor hallway conversations and conversations with coworkers throughout the facilities. If they make such an effort to monitor, I would guess that emails are also not safe. Although, AB was not in the military, he acts like a wanna be GI Joe. When you visit BFG, just notice how all employees must back into their parking spaces. All military inspired and makes no sense for this type of operation. AB shows all the classic signs of a narcissist. AB put BS in charge of operations. BS lacks any experience running operations and is well over his head. BS has allowed the manual inventory allocation, and departments to figure it out for themselves because BS just doesn’t know. BS is not an operations guy and is not capable of learning to become one. His mismanagement, and AB allowing it, will run the business into its next major layoff. BS will sabotage others so that he does not look bad with AB. BS will throw anyone under the bus so he looks better. Under BS lack of knowledge and lack of leadership, he allowed inventory material levels (for current demand) suffer to critical (potentially crippling) levels. BS has allowed business with critically aligned vendors who also have close ties to Russia and China. This is contrary to its mission to be Berry compliant. BS needs to focus on his M&A and finance experience because he is f’ing up operations, lack of production management, and is at fault for people, companies, and government organizations not getting their orders. Seriously, how could a manufacturing company have NO ONE in charge of overseeing production internally and with external partners. Production oversight is not a Procurement or Purchasing duty (says all experienced industry professionals). Any why allow the product development team have such control over production? PD has no experience to choreograph production and purchasing. I suspect both AB and BS has foolish acceptance to this operational approach. In full disclosure, I was Director level (hired for my expertise) and at BFG for 5 weeks. Time has passed and I am grateful to no longer be with the company. This truthful review is to warn military, military contractors, network partners, production partners, customers, and employees. I believe in the mission supporting our military. But the incompetence at BFG can cause risks that I am not willing to sit back and say nothing about.

Great customer service I see the poor reviews and am confused because my interaction with customer support has been stellar. Had an issue with a component and customer service replied within 24 hrs of each of my emails and offered a great solution to help me out. They really went above and beyond and I would recommend BFG.

The BCG magazine carrier is passable. Maybe. The magazine carrier, ten-speed scar chest rig, arrived on time in plain cellophane wrapper. Only the tag affixed to chest rig indicates the the model or version. All the stitches were serviceable. However, the pockets were designed to hold a 308 magazine, but were extremely tight. In fact, the pockets were so tight, it was difficult to slide 223 magazines in the pockets. As I tested the pockets, I wondered: Would the pockets hold up to normal use given how tight the pockets are? The website described the design as a chest rig for tube fighting, building clearing, etc. so the chest rig is as described. It is designed to lay flat to minimize snagging on objects. However, there isn’t much double stitching like the stitching found on Condor made products. Therefore, the build seems insufficient given its intended purpose-a tactical environment. In short, I don’t believe the BCG chest rig is worth the money and I may return this chest rig for a refund. Research and terms will dictate.

Excellent products & Solid Service. Excellent products & Solid Service. I've been a BFG customer for many years and use their slings on all of my long guns and daily use many of the pouches and gear. I would love to see more inventory as BFG seems to be out regularly; but I understand business costs of inventory. I would also like to see Black Multicam as an offering on many of the pouches, slings, etc. Regardless, one of the best gear companies - both products & service - and is my go-to for needs.
