Not too long ago, I was at a local gun show and stumbled upon a booth with an interesting product. I wound up taking some home, but then kind of forgot about them. The idea was they were supposed to be for gear management, but without a specific use in mind, they just sat in the gear bin.

Well the other day I rediscovered them, and thought about trying them out for sling management on my rifles, particularly while in a safe. I'm very glad that I did, because it is an excellent use for them. Really great product, adjustable thick shock cord with an interesting two-piece center adjuster, they are pretty much perfect for the task. Pressing the middle button causes it to spring apart and completely get out of the way, allowing your sling to be utilized.

I wound up liking the few that I had so much, that I placed another order for a bunch of them so that each of my rifles would have one, and the owner even threw in some extras.

Excellent piece of gear, made locally here in PA. Just figured that I would share.

Interesting.

I wonder where those barrel thingies could be sourced.

ETA I mean the spring apart thingie.

Directly from Shockloop!

@FredMan

Paracord Planet has something similar, or check eBay for “Black Cord Lock Spring Safety Breakaway Drawstring Stopper”.

I bought a roll of shock cord and bag of plastic clips for other projects but made these to manage my slings

Found it. Interesting gizmo.

I’ve been cutting bicycle inner tube and managing slings with it for 30 years

Simple cheap and effective
