Experimental Sniper Sling.

[Buccaneer]

In Peter Laidler's book "An Armourer's Perspective" he shows the Experimental Sling made by the Mills Equipment Co (MECO). I know that people have posted before asking where to find one and the impression I get is they are in the hens teeth bracket, so I decided to have a go at making up one for myself.
The hardest part, once I had sourced all the correct parts was sewing it together by hand, going through up to four layers of webbing was not the easiest of jobs but with a sharp bradawl and a bit of patience it was done.
The finished article is not perfect or exactly to the dimensions given in Peters book as I had to use the standard No4 sling and not the longer 46 inch Bren gun sling that was used in the original.
I now await the opportunity to try it out at the range, whenever that may be
