Troy I Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 I was thinking of making a 1907 Rifle Sling, but I have no idea where to get the "sling claws"...I'm not sure if this is what they are called, but they hook the two sling straps togeather...Please Help. I have attached a pic to show what they look like. Thanks, Troy Quote
Chief31794 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 Ohio Travel bag carries them in brass, you might want to "antique" them a little. They are on Page 217 of the catalog. Chief Quote
Troy I Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Thanks, will Ohio Travel Bag sell to someone who does not have a bussiness lic.? The last time I checked you needed a tax id number. Quote
Troy I Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Found them at Hardware Elf...thanks Chief for the info...Troy Quote
Members camano ridge Posted February 16, 2014 Members Report Posted February 16, 2014 You beat me to it, I was just going to tell you Hardware elf, Tandys and Springfield leather. Tandy calls theirs 2 prong strap hooks. Quote
Chief31794 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Posted February 16, 2014 I believe OTB will sell to individuals, not sure, however, they do have a minimum order amount that you have to meet. The quality of their hardware is head and shoulders above Tandy and Tandy resellers. Chief Quote
Troy I Posted February 16, 2014 Author Report Posted February 16, 2014 Thank you Chief for all your help. Troy Quote
Members Geneva Posted February 16, 2014 Members Report Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) OTB has a 50 dollar minimum order. You don't need a tax anything. The two hole 1" wide frog (hook) is around .70 cents each the three rivet frog is 2.19 each they are for the 1 1/4" slings. Do not use latigo leather. I use Herman Oak 10-12 oz. and I split it down to an even 10oz. Front half of the sling is 1"x48" long the rear piece is 1"x30" in length. It is made of 9 to 10 oz. material. The belt keepers are 1" wide made from 4 or 6oz. leather I use belt loop staples to fasten the ones I make. The hole spacing is 1 1/4" the spread of the holes is 3/4" center. You will need 3/16"x5/16" rivets to attach the hook. 2 hooks per sling 2 belt keepers per sling. Google the sling name as "03-A3 sling". There are lots of them. Good luck. I sell a bunch of these things before hunting season gets started. Whole sale is 12-14 $ a piece. Edited February 16, 2014 by Geneva Quote

Members simontuntelder Posted February 20, 2014 Members Report Posted February 20, 2014 There's this guy making these straps. He sells them in steel. For the love of God, I can't remember his name. But they're called frogs, and that might help you in the right direction. Quote
