Thank You All for the nice comments.

These little guys are a lot of work, but they sure do look good on a nice rifle.

All we need now is someone to make nice slings that have leather covered buckles to go with them (I don't do leather work).

Cap'n, perhaps you may be able to post a picture or two of one of your original slings so any member who knows a skilled leather worker may try to interest them in making them available??
