Go to www.strapworks.com click on field Specific/Tactical Products. AR-15 Sling $7.11 (kit, everything you need) I didn't use this kit but bought enough materal to custom make 4 slings at about $10.00 a sling. |

TEXAS SOFTAIL, you da man!!!!!
I don't know how many times I've been searching the web to include numerous gun forums searching for some info on webbing sold by the foot and 1 1/4 inch stuff.
Thanks

I did't know how to sew. But I bought the speedy stitcher sewing awl & the instructions were real easy. The only problem I had was making a straight line with my stitch. The stitching materal is a tan color & my webbing is black, so I took a black permanent maker & colored it after I made my stitchs. Camoed right in.

For those that don't have the means or skill to sew you can "tack" your rig together the way you want with just a few stitches then take it to an upolstery shop or somewhere else that has an industrial sewing machine and get a professional job in about done in about five minutes pretty cheap.

I went to www.strapworks.com and I am trying to decide which material would be better for a sling. I priced it out and to build the new sling that you can't get from Magpul right now it would be under $18.00 including shipping, that is with polyester webbing. I am also on the fence about the width(1", 1 1/4" or 1 1/2"). Any thoughts? |

Nice site! I don't care for the Tac sling but everything I need to make a standard two point is there. There should be plenty of webbing left over for other projects. It appears I will have find the snap ring to attach it to the rear of my XCR receiver. Any ideas? SheepDog  |

I answered my own question. As I went to the next thread it mentioned DSG arms. They have the H&K hooks in coyote brown. It looks like I can put a nice sling together for about $12. SheepDog |

It takes only a few minutes of research on the internet to sound like a combat soldier and a few dollars to look like one, but it takes a little blood and a lot of guts to be one.

The wider the strap, the less it will cut into your shoulder without adding a pad.

seek out the ITW/NEXUS buckles and fasteners. they are top of the line and build better than most of the other stuff out there.

Thanks for the tip M118, 39" is long enough, and only $4 each. All you guys can have those $80 slings http://www.jsesurplus.com/usgisling.aspx |

Yeah, "Strapworks" is a good site to know. They have lots of things that folks like us can use. As far as sewing the various things together, try "shoe repair shops and saddle makers and tack repair shops" for your sewing needs. My tack/saddle repair shop has sewing machines that will do anything that we need and then some, including the heavy gauge threads we need, and colors we can use as well. Hope this helps everyone!
