Not bad at all!..
It did end up costing me $26 for 2 slings, but I did buy the beefy buckles. I also did make the 5" web into a 7" web, worked much better. |

Uh, MODs???? Can we get a sticky on this please? Or maybe post the PDF file to the Information/Articles dropdown bar right under the website logo? Matt, thanks for the "Using the sling" primer... the covert dog was an awesome touch! Any chance we could con you into doing a PDF of that too? 'Tac Sling.pdf' is on my hard-drive now for when I finally get frustrated with my weird-ass sling rig. Maybe I'll post pics of it if I ever get around to snapping them and uploading them somewhere. |

Nice mounting set-up, I will need to do mine like that too and try it on my shotguns. Off subjust some but where did you get your HK shirt? I have ween looking for some HK stuff. |

just ordered everything for two, with shipping under 23.00 from strapworks. |

All my stuff came in today. Your instructions were excellent, though I concur that a 7" piece of 1.5" makes the job a lot easier. All told, about 10 minutes to assemble.
I finally have a tac sling for my AR! Thanks! |
|
strapworks is where i got my stuff |

Man your sling works great! I made one last night for my Cx4 Storm and my Remington 1100, both are sweat! Thanks!
|
|
|
built one already, works great and at the exact ace price listed. thank you!
|
|
glad to hear!!
lets see some pictures!

Great pictures and directions, mine went together easily, good work thanks.
However... The plastic keepers I got might have been a bit off, because even after pulling and tightening I had the sling come loose twice. Luckily my foot broke the carbines fall the second time Maybe the keepers from that web site will be more positive. ETA Did you sew any of your ends down? |

I built two and one kept coming loose. Then I noticed that I had the buckle on backwards. I turned it around and it does not come loose any more. Thanks for the great instructions...MadDog

I did the 7" central strap too and it came out great. I had some problems with slippage with the 1" stuff so I doubled up the buckles and now they're solid. I just tried out some bungee cord for the front attachment and it works good, though i think i got it a little long. I'm also more of the functional vs pretty type so I used electrical tape to smooth out the bungee knots and keep my main strap from flying around because I ended up with it a bit too long. Thanks again ggllggll!

I am still trying to figure out the "backpack carry" - my AR hangs off to one side and bounces around? Is any sling adjustment required?
|
|
mrmoshzilla...
Nice rifle! good to see someone else likes A1's |
|
Thanks for sharing the information! I'm gonna go out and round up all the parts today and build a couple.
|
|
make sure you post pics! |

Today I went on my shopping mission:
The ace hardware store knew what I wanted when asked but didn't cary it due to little demand. Eastern Mountain Sports only has 1 inch purple web tubing & no buckles or locks. Home Depot was worthless. |
|
mail me the $$ and I'll buy your stuff and mail it back Matt |
|
|
Can you two explain the additional materials and instructions to do your setups? ETA: Is that just the same set of straps? Bueller? Bueller? |

Looks like you could get a good qty discount at strapworks if someone was willing to do a
BULK BUY or as a GROUP BUY. tag for later use |

Here's a single-point "recipe" thanks to manowar669: coloradoshooting.org/walmart_sling.htm.
