The slings you are referring to are IDF (Isreali) style slings. You can buy them online, but they are easily made using some paracord and a USGI general purpose carry strap that you can find at any surplus store. I know someone posted instructions on how to make them awhile ago, but I lost the link. I'm sure someone will come along that has it.

Plus the paracord options let you mix and match different combinations and setups. Everyones idea of comfort and useability is
different. Paracord lets you do this without spending a bundle initially. |

I have been meaning to post this. Due to the job I am on allowing no ad on accessories to or weapons. I came up with this. Apparently if we can fashion something out of zip ties, 550 cord or riggers tape it acceptable.
This is a simple 3/4 inch metal ring attached to 500 cord that is cobra stitched to the buffer tube. Actually works great.

I take off the fron sling swivels and put through paracord and also tie it off to the FSB for a 2 point tie down.I use it on the rear off the stock as well just a small loop to hook on my D ring on my gear for a 1 point carry.I use a mod stock and have a QD swivel that the rear of the sling connects too.

I recently bought a Yankee Hill Machine upper with a plain free float tube. I wrapped it with paracord, and wrapped the paracord over the loop at the front of the sling. So far, so good, though everybody tells me it won't last. It has lasted so far, but hasn't seen any real use, and no abuse whatsoever.
However, if it fails, I will revert to plan B.

If anyone knows how to make something last, it's the IDF. I'm pretty sure everything they use has paracord in, or wrapped around it. |
