Hey Vitaly, this sling is by a local company here in Seattle. I have to find the name for it, but it was only $10 at the gun show :)
Nice :) I wanted simple 2-point sling for my shotgun. There are too many different super tactical slings with lots of buckles on the market now :)
Here is like the one I have:

my ms3 sling becomes a 2 point sling as well. all i have to do is get a foward mounting point. just bought a bunch of goodies to step up the bead sight to something a little more familiar. it should all be by the weekend.

Yeah I know about those, but I wanted something light weight and not costing $48 lol

i decided to get it due to its great quality, being a quick disconnect, ability to be a 2pt sling, and the fact that i now only need one sling for all my weapons (attaching a QD to all my future weps) i had one of their old 3 point slings when i went to iraq and afghanistan so it wasnt even a hard choice. you get what you pay for with magpul.

USMC6282, ms3 looks like a good piece of equipment, I will have a closer look at it.

i especially like the quick fit loop. thats what sold it for me. slide in over and pull the loop and it makes the sling smaller. pull it the other way and it loosens up. youtube it. theres alot of reviews on it. going to purchas a front sling mount now so i can go 2 pt when needed

Yeah, that's why I always just remove those clips whenever I mount my sidesaddle. It makes the whole thing less of a headache and saves wear & tear.

Well i got in:

Magpul gen1 MBUS sights front and rear:25 dollars (same as gen2 with the exception that gen2 are slightly thinner and cost 70 dollars more for the set)
Mesa tactical 20" picattinny rail system with 6 shotshell carrier: 220 shipped.

through it all together and still waiting on me +2 extention from remington. looks great and the picattiny rail is super strong and robust yet lightweight as to not add too much additional weight to the weapon. i just ordered the high FDE cheekrest set from Magpul and should have that in to customize my new height.

will be shooting this beast this weekend and zeroing it in. already did bullet trajectory and theoretical 0.

The next picture is my roommates brand new 870 express.
it came with:
black fiberglass stock and foreend
23" cantilevered rifled barrel

I added for him:
GG&G diagonal 6 shotshell carrier
GG&G follower
+3 round tube extender
Magpul MOE foregrip Black
Magpul SGA stock Black

in the future this weapon will have:
Nikon Slughunter 1-5x scope

and it will be firing Hornaday SST 300g sabot rounds :D can you say 200 yard accuracy?

GG&G stuff is nice. the only difference between GG&G and mesa tactical is the angle. both are billet aluminum and use the rubber tube to secure the shell in. everything on our shotguns serve a purpose. we are shooting saturday so ill inform you on how the sighting sytem works out.
