I was getting ready to go to the Guns across America Rally in Utah yesterday
when I could not find my single point sling for the AR i was going to open carry. so I grabbed the first SKS i found in my safe and ripped the sling off it. Now everyone in Toledo can laugh at my sling. who knew that the AP Photographer wasn't bull shitting me. http://www.toledoblade.com/Nation/2013/01/19/Thousands-rally-in-state-capitals-from-New-England-to-Texas-against-stricter-gun-control-laws.html and here is a screen grab from the website

My current sling is a cheapo $5 nylon thing with screws on one end and a loop on the other

Have you had a chance to actually use this substitute sling for shooting, to see how it stacks up?

Oh. I prefer absolute CW.
Might just have to get a T1/H1, they do an absolute CW with factory low mount |

I did the same thing. My wife wanted to carry a rifle but I only had one sling that could be used for 2 point so I made a sling out of part of another sling and back pack hardwhare. Worked pretty well.

You're not truly hardcore until you use a guitar strap from a Guitar Hero game as a sling.

A: awesome!
B: i hate single-point--the rifle bounces around constantly. C: with 2 zip-ties (at stock and front sight tower), you could have turned that into a 'tactical' carry sling. edit: but C would not have been as cool as what you wound up with. |
