a rifle sling challenge

Recommended Posts

Despite Monkey's attempts to teach me to post pictures I'm still just a link provider. Anyhow, I took on a rifle sling challenge and this is what happened...please feel free to fire away. It's all Hermann Oak with 3/4" sheepskin for the shoulder pad liner. Except for the sheepskin it's an exact copy of a commercial sling the customer had:

Bruce,

Once again, thanks for showing us some great work. I know you made exact copy for client but, would you otherwise make the slot the same? Is there a reasonable way to treat the slot edges?

Thank you,

Regis

Not much to critique here -- this should be in the Show Off forum, Bruce!

Thanks for taking the time to share your photos. Really nice work. And I agree with Don -- with proper care, this sling should last its proud owner a lifetime.

Best, -Alex
