anyone have a source for good leather slings that work with the factory sling swivels? All I can find is crap that comes with screw on crap.

For what rifle? Here’s a link to an eBay seller who makes handmade leather slings for the GEW98. I recently bought one for my Chilean 1912 Steyr and was very pleased with the product. Not at all the cheap stuff you find at certain online retailer. He makes slings for a number of different Mauser rifles.

If you’re looking more for a carrying sling than shooting sling, I have one of these. Has a cool early 1900s safari vibe:

Yugo 24/47 poor little girl looks so naked without a sling. I hate rubber crap.. and locally cant find anything that doesn't need STUDS installed on the rifle. and who wants that kind of crap on a real rifle....

Yugo slings are common. Just do a web search or go to ebay.

the original issue sling kind of SUCKS for a person who likes wrapping the sling around his arm for shooting.
