Make your own 3 point sling
Being the cheap-skate that I am I couldn’t see paying $40 or more for a sling for my rifle. Doing a little googling I came up with this:
I’m glad that doing things for yourself hasn’t totally gone away in this day and age.
The only thing that was different were prices. I went to ACE Hardware as well, and this is what I found:
1″ Slide Lock x2= .60
1-1/2″ Slide Lock x3= 1.80
1-1/2″ Buckle x2= 3.98
1-1/2″ Nylon Webbing x8′= 4.72
1″ Nylon Webbibg x3′= 1.05
Crappy Over-priced CA tax= 1.01
Grand Total= 13.16
So, for $13.16 I got myself a cool new tactical sling that is just as good as ones I’ve priced at $30 and even seen up to $50. I’d say this is worth the 20 minutes it took to get it done!
