    DS Solutions leather slings?

    Has anyone ever ordered one of these? I like the leather slings over the canvas ones but most repros I've found are the plastic ones... Trying to find out if DS is a better option.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    If in the USAicon I recommend International Military Antiques; in the UKicon, Epic Militaria. Both sites have good selections of repro slings at low cost.

    I have bought several repro slings from IMA in the past and they have always been good quality.

    Hi, I've got a DS leather sling on my long Lee. Good quality and no cheap metal stud rivets to scratch your stock like on the ones available from a certain auction site.
    John who runs it is an absolute gent and always a pleasure to deal with.
