I am looking for a source for 1 1/4" Fastex type buckles for my homemade single point sling. None of the fabric stores around here have them. Only the 1" ones. The only ones I have found on the internet sold a minium of 500. I only need 5. Any ideas? Mick Update: Following the link provided by river_rat, I purchased what I needed from "Best Buy Button & Buckle" They just came in the mail, and look like good quality.  Thanks, Mick |
nice guys, great service and a lot of nice stuff

Email them and see if they can get them. Have you tried putting the 1.25 webbing through 1" buckles? Also, check eBay. One last idea is contact some of the big boys about sample orders. They will often give you a handful of what you are after under the premise that you will buy a lot of them if they are what you want. |

Here is a place to look. Haven't gone thru it all but P006 comes in 1 1/4". Link ETA: Fixed link. More possibilities: Company Listings |

I have explored all the above options. The company selling samples has only one, 1 1/4" buckle, and it does not ship to North America on that model for a sample. E Bay , and everyone else has plenty of 1", 1 1/2", and 2", but no 1 1/4"  Thanks for the tips, I'll just keep looking, Mick |
Wait, now I'm not POSITIVE on this, but I thought there policy was you could order samples from any of the countries, it's just that it would take longer if it were from one other than N. America. Might want to check on it Gundraw |

Strapworks.com (Strapman) posts here and offers a discount from ARFCOMers, code AR15. I purchased most of my sling materials from them and they are very supportive of the DIY sling project. They don't have 1 1/4" hardware however.
