Members BattleAx Posted Saturday at 01:16 PM Members Report Posted Saturday at 01:16 PM (edited) Finished up these Leather Single Point Slings for a couple of good friends. They wanted these for their ARs. The old girl is sewing really nice. Edited Saturday at 01:19 PM by BattleAx Quote

Members Dwight Posted Saturday at 09:17 PM Members Report Posted Saturday at 09:17 PM A single point sling has several advantages . . . the biggest of which allows you to pass the caretaking of the firearm to either arm effortlessly and quickly. Makes for entering or leaving a doorway very easy . . . as well as meandering thru bushes . . . or trails where overgrowth can get in the way. Allows one to reach down and pick up something on the ground or a table . . . without the possibility of stubbing the muzzle in the mud. I put a ring on the left side of my M1A just below the rear sight . . . and I love my single point sling when I'm carrying the rifle . . . the weight around the neck does not bother me as much as trying to carry it on a shoulder. it is also MUCH MUCH quicker to put into action than any other sling I've ever tried to use. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com

CFM chuck123wapati Posted Sunday at 11:16 AM CFM Report Posted Sunday at 11:16 AM great job!! A bit heavy leather, IMO, but hey, they look fantastic and should work well. I would suggest,using these clips made specifically for the job if you do any more of them. I have had the ones you used snag the thumbpiece and open just on my suspenders. https://www.ebay.com/itm/171369888626?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&campid=5338590836&toolid=10044&loc_physical_ms=101688&customid=32c1eb99c2f11fb7b82f83561eeeacea I always liked the 3-point sling for tactical carry, and I use the M1907 rifle sling on all my long-range guns, so they all fit the same.

Members DocReaper Posted Sunday at 03:04 PM Members Report Posted Sunday at 03:04 PM These are works of art, looks like you could use it to do pull-ups with. I'm impressed with the look more than the function Quote Doc Reaper
PastorBob Posted 12 hours ago Report Posted 12 hours ago Those are really nice! I have never tried one of those slings. You may have inspired me to take a crack at one. Thanks.
