Make one your self. Like an M60 patrol sling we used "back in the day." About 5 feet of black nylon 1" web and two slip buckles from a fabric store or outdoor store. Connect one end to the the front swivel with loop and through slip buckle, run it long enough to go over your left (weak side) shoulder and back to the top wire of the M1A1 stock between the leather cheek piece and the hinge. Connect it loop around and through buckle like front. hangs down about waist level, maybe lower, and can be raised up and fired from shoulder or from hip (waste of ammo!). Keep the rear loop around the stock fairly tight (about twice the size of the wire so it will slide) and do the adjusting with the front buckle. For extra comfort, take a cushion pad from a laptop bag and slip it on the sling. Make sure the sling can slide freely through the loops on the back of the pad, so it stays stationary. It can even be pushed around across your back if you transition to sidearm. Most of the fancy single and three point slings are gimmicks and cost too much. This is easier to get into than a single point with whistles and bells, too.
Thanks I get the webbing and buckles and try my best ....I bet I read your paragraph 10 times before I finish....Thanks Charlie
No problem. After you gather up the stuff, send me a PM and I will walk you through it. It will take about 5 minutes to make it.
