Rifle slings
So, oomans, where do we get ourselves a snazzy rifle sling ? We're looking for something like, but stroner and broader than, the L85 S2 (nee SA-80) slings, adjustable to it can be used to carry a heavy rifle either over the shoulder or on the back, and also to support it whilst it is fired.

Re: Rifle slings
Leather or synthetic?I also need a sling for my Sako 75 something in leather. I built myself a biathlon type for my AI which ticks the strong and comfortable and spreads load across both shoulders however it is not suitable for shooting off-hand. Then again nor is the rifle in its current form.

Re: Rifle slings
Synthetic, we thinks. This is for our Desert Tech and so leather would look out of place and probably be hard to make into a useful 3 position affair.

Re: Rifle slings
Don't know about the M3......but I can recommend the Russian Army Spetsnaz SSO SPOSN Rt-3m 3 Point Weapon Sling, very well made and comfortable and very popular with Spetsnaz and MVD troops.I had a black one when I had my AK-104 carbine and it was perfect.They can be picked up on Ebay for around £10-15, don't let the low price put you off as SSO SPOSN kit is good stuff,ask Tovarisch Froggy about their Gorka-3, and they actually do quite a range of slings including single-point and padded two-point ones for PKM's etc.meles meles wrote:Maybe snayperskayaski might comment on the Dolg-M3...

Heres an eBay link for you, I've used this seller a few times and had no problems.....another good seller is "kosea", she normally has plenty of slings etc listed.
