Home made sling
Just made this this week, a paracord sling using real military grade cord, rated at 750. This is about 100 feet total, and a little thicker than 550. Hurt like Hades making it, I thought it's worth it.
Oh yeah, the girl came out in me so I bought matching colors to Xanadu. (The rifles name) It's also the very first one I ever made too.

Re: Home made sling
Very cool. Is it comfortable? Looks like it.

Re: Home made sling
Some paracord I've handled seems to feel "slippery." Does your sling stay on the shoulder okay?
BTW, nice color match up.

Re: Home made sling
Yes, it's comfortable. No, it's not slippery. I don't think it will stretch at all.
Like I said, the cord is rated at 750, the sling swivels are made to hold over 300lbs. So if the stuff hits the fan, I should be covered!

That is a lot of work. I lose patience lacing a stock cover on...

Cool looking. Matches the rifle well.
