? Rifle Sling

[WELSHMAN]

I'm making a few rifle slings. My ? is, What is the standard length on the upper section of the sling ? 12-15 inches ? Also the over all length of a sling ? Thanks for the help, Lynn

I am curious about this as well.

I'm also trying to find if there is a standardized method to get the over all length.

Fore example: Measure from point a to point b on the rifle then add X amount of length.

Does anyone have a tried and true method?

Mine are solid, so I can't help with the upper piece, however, most Rifle Slings are 44" from tip to tip with adjustment available. This will fit most large rifles, .30-06, 7MM, etc. I also make one that is 37" for .22's etc. I offer them in 44, 40, and 37 but 44" is the standard and usable on most rifles. That would make the longest available from swivel to swivel of about 42". I normally put 4 or 5 adjustment holes on the bottom end at 1" increments. Of course you can always make a strap custom to a particular weapon.

Hope that helps,

Chief
