    Default Leather Sling Care

    Probably I already know the answer but just checking. Just bought this but cheaper thank God! I know corny but I like it personally.

    So, as not to ruin it, what do I need to do to keep it looking good? Neetsfoot oil? Ballistol? What parts to treat or not like the picture I don't want to stain so seeking advice. Thanks!

    Also, and don't laugh, do I just use a screwdriver to unscrew the rivets so I can attach my sling swivels?

    I like mink oil. Rub it in, let sit, then buff to a nice sheen..may darken the leather slightly, but i don't know of any product that doesn't
    Go sell crazy some where else, we're all stocked up here.

    Any good leather conditioner will work fine, you don't have to go high end you just want to keep it supple.

    If the "rivets" are the screw type, then yes you can just use a screwdriver to undo them.
