Build your own 2 pt. sling

**Mtbkski** · August 16th, 2009, 04:50 PM

Was reading another forum and they were saying that you can get all the parts to build a sling comparable to the Vickers 2 Pt. Sling and do it a heck of a lot cheaper than the $50+ you would pay if you bought one.

I was wondering if anyone has a Vickers sling, and that you could list the parts you have on it. I'm wondering if it would be a lot cheaper to build your own. Just wondering.

Here is where they recommended that you get your parts from.

Wow..... Can't afford $60 for a sling? You will want to check this out. A very well done PDF file on everything you need to build an adjustable 2 pt. sling. Get the parts at the hardware store. Total cost is $11.

Thank you very much. Good find.

While I love making things myself, I found this to be a good product at a good price. http://www.redi-mag.com/Shop/pc/view...1&idcategory=7

And you can get it for a lot less without the quick adjust. (but not worth it in my opinion) http://www.redi-mag.com/Shop/pc/view...8&idcategory=7
