M16-Series Rifles & M4/M4A1 Carbines: What Slings Are Available?

Dear Half-Mast,

Are there any slings available for the M16 rifle and the M4 carbine other than the classic black sling and the quick-release sling?
 
1LT L.E.
No, sir, those are still the only approved slings for the M16 and M4.

Order the M16 standard sling with NSN 1005-01-216-4510 and the M4 standard sling with NSN 1005-01-368-9852.
 
 
The tactical quick-release sling for both the M16 and M4 comes with
NSN 1005-01-562-9457.
