I ran into the same problem, especially in "odd" colors (I usually just buy a commercial sling in the standard colors).
What I did was use 1.5" webbing where the available loops/connection-points allowed me to do so; where not, I used 1.5" webbing for the sling itself & then a "reducer" buckle allowing the ends (that are connected to sling loops, etc.) to be 1" webbing. Not perfect, but it worked in some of my "home-made" applications. |

I might have to go with that option if I can't find it anywhere. It seems odd that it's so hard to find considering that most rifle slings are made out of 1 1/4" webbing. The people making these slings have to get it from somewhere.

They've got a lot of good stuff. The only places I've been able to find that sell 1 1/4" webbing have minimum orders of something like $300. I certainly don't need that much webbing. Still haven't found a source for 1 1/4" hardware. My quest continues.hug.gif |

Yep, that's who I order from as well. Great prices & service, IMHO.

Just FYI just saw in the do it yourself sling thread where strapworks was giving a 5% discount for AR15.com folks. just put AR15.COM in the coupon code.

webbing
www.tnwebbing.com/military.htm hardware www.itwnexus.com/ and if you really want to see hardware and webbing: scroll down and right click save-as on the PDF catalog link lowyusa.com/catpage.html since you are making your own stuff register on lightfighter.net and check out the "Roll your own" section excellent stuff on there. I would skip the 1 1/4" webbbing and just use 1" Tubular webbing. Tubular webbing is more comfortable anyway. 1 1/4" webbing=hard to find hardware |
