I have an older VTAC sling. The maker is a buddy of mine, and Mark LaRue is as well, but I have decided to go with the two point Vickers sling. Other than the cost, I have few issues with it.

I'll get right on that. There is a lot of great cleaning advice on the net, but it is mixed with some absolute BS.
Biggest deal with cleaning and lubing is knowing what has to be clean or lubed, and doing it. We spend too much time screwing around and trying to get the last speck of carbon off areas that do not have to be clean. We also fail to lube stuff that needs to be and vice versa, as well as using the wrong lube for the part and environment. If the parts rub against one another, they need to be clean.
With issue weapons, almost any part that is shiny is a contact surface and needs lube. I use MILITEC oil and and TWB-25 grease. I run my guns pretty wet unless it is dusty or extremely cold.
Cleaning supplies are a matter of personal preference, but I love the carbon dissolving and bore cleaning of the KG products. I carry Otis kits in the field (plus the issue sectioned rod) and use high-end match type stuff at home.
Hope that works in the short term.
