I’m sure most everyone has heard of them. But I got these supplies and a bunch of other clips, hooks, etc from “Strapworks”. They have tons of colors and varieties. They even sell a few basic completed rifle slings.
Something for the back burner on a rainy day 
I buy my gear from milspec monkey. I can make a sling for about $3. If i had an industrial sewing machine it would be on.
Ive been looking at getting a sewing machine. Need to research, I have no clue about that stuff and unfortunately have nobody around me that does. Told my wife I wanted a sewing machine and she literally laughed at me 
Is “homemade” a trigger word? I posted this and two Mods showed up instantly. Just an observation
2 mods?
Im sitting in car line waiting on school to be out. My phone notifies me when a new post is made. Ive made a few homemade slings and hand sewn them. They are good for range use or carrying into the woods to hunt, but not for hard everyday use and they are not padded.
Didnt mean it in a bad way. Its just I posted it and right away you replied (normal thou cause youre on top of stuff) and Anthony gave a thumbs up. For some reason I thought it wouldn’t be far fetched that being a gun forum the word “homemade” might alert mods. Was just joking.
I was going to try it but when I asked the Mrs about the sewing machine I got that look. So I bought a Vickers. 
Because they know when we buy ONE thing, it’s in preparation for TWENTY additional things to go along with it.
I didnt see Anthony’s thumbs up…that makes sense now
For those who don’t want a sewing machine or need something that works without electricity: a sail palm, good thread, wax and quality needles will sew the heaviest of materials.
Silly rabbit, that’s because she knows what you meant to say was you wanted a serger!
I have an old Husqvarna and it’s the cats meow. 
Sewing is a nice skill to have. Made us learn sewing machines and hand sewing early on. Forget alot but i think it would come back
Same here…my grandfather taught me and my brother when we were young. He was a cobbler and my dad still has his industrial leather sewing machines. My grandmother taught us to crochet…i can knit a mean scarf and sew the ends together…
That would be awesome. I’d even try making backpacks, duffelbags, etc.
I’ve wanted one of these for awhile. Thanks for reminding me.
I got a Blackhawk sling for $5. It didn’t come with much hardware. I had to learn all the names of the various things that go on a basic sling before I could even buy them. It was educational. Ended up with a Vickers anyway 
I really like the grey Kryptek look!
I am going to put the BH on “wife’s new AR” until or if something else is needed.
Buying all the hardware to make a strap into a rifle sling is the closest I’ve come to making a sling thus far.
Primary Arms usually has their own branded slings for $5 also.
For stuff like tri-glides, what’s everyone’s preference-metal or plastic?
I prefer plastic. Ive never broken one, although not hard on them like some.
I first wanted a sewing machine for hiking and camping gear years ago. Now I want it for slings and such as well. Someday…
I myself am trying to stick to plastic when I can. Less weight, less chances of scratches on the firearm. Less clankety clack noises. Not going to war or trying to be tacticool, just something to hold the rifle while walking out to the shooting spot. Although lots of online deals come with metal attachments. Whatever is the cheapest is my goal, for now.
