I made a sling a while back with 2yds of 17337, 2 tri-glides, and a 1" repair buckle. Just needed two stitches to make a loop for rapid adjustment. It was only like $5 for the materials. I've been wanting to make a new one that's a bit better, and this gives me some new ideas. Thanks!

@g04tn4d0 Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I just got my shotgun back from being torn down and they didn't re-buckle the sling. I went to do it and apparently had forgotten how. All is well now!

Thanks for explaining this. I have been interested in making my own slings for a while and this video explained what I needes to know perfectly.

This. This is brilliant. I've struggled to figure out the how and the why of slings, I've ordered high end slings and cheap slings, some of the fancier more expensive ones I feel like are heavy and bulky hardware, and seems to use too many tri-glides that I couldn't figure out why they are placed where they are2, so adjustments and tension always seemed like sort of a mystery to me. Seeing this all come together kinda helped me figure this out. Thank you!

I run more QDs than anything... But really, Uloops are king of the (semi) quick removal sling attachment. 17-25 bucks a pop, makes them well on the other size of cheap tho. Eventually I will upgrade all my slings to Uloops... Two at the time. eBay seems to be the best place to buy them. I have found them as cheap as 15 bucks each. Nice video. Very informative and all around helpful.

Great stuff man thanks so much Does anyone know approx how many feet of webbing is needed to make these slings? Thanks

@MILSPECMONKEY 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! It depends on what kind of sling you want to make, but 3 yards should give you enough to experiment with, luckily webbing is pretty cheap as well.

In the Army, we secured Tri-Glides with 100 mile-an-hour tape. No rattle or moving.

Yep, if want hardware or slack to stay in place and don't plan to adjust anytime soon, ol' tape is a good solution.

Great video! how many feet of webbing did you use and how many Tri glides and how many ladderlocks did you have on the setup worn in 25:41 ? thank you!!

@MILSPECMONKEY 11 ай бұрын

Thank ya! Usually 3 yards is plenty enough to play with and appears on that example 2 tri-glides on the connection and 2 tri-glides on the captured tail.

How the heck did you wrap the extra webbing on that triglide, at 15:05? I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Is there a video on that somewhere?

Ehe sorry it was already a long video so I didn't show it, but basically the strap end is wrapped around the triglide a couple times, the end starting in the interior.

For some reason I just keep going back to magpul padded slings. I like their slider, in my search to get completely away from magpul that sling is really hard to beat.

Once you find a solution that does what you want, then makes sense to not be in a big rush to find something new. Magpul also has the perk of being able to make their own hardware.
