Members WELSHMAN Posted June 9, 2013 Members Report Posted June 9, 2013 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 Quote
FHL FERG Posted June 13, 2013 Report Posted June 13, 2013 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? Quote
Chief31794 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited June 14, 2013 by Chief31794 Quote
