Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors New rifle sling with no hardware

A friend of mine has patent pending on a leather rifle sling similar to the Montana sling but it can be used with or without sling swivels, and has no metal on it unless swivel attachments are necessary. Unlike the Montana sling also, it locks easily in place by pulling on a leather tongue. It's made with an ingenious loop and twist. He's not marketing to Cabellas, etc. until fully patented but they are available. Pictures:

looks like a good deal ,have to keep it clean though

I bet he might be a buckskinner

Cost?

Actually, he's a jack of many trades, a really neat guy. Makes holsters (good ones!), etc. but just for himself, friends. He gave me the sling, but intends to sell some before he markets to companies. I'll ask him what he wants for them and get back to you. JOhn

I've been looking for a rig like that. Please keep us posted.

Id be intrested in one! keep us informed, I sure his will be much better than the one Cabelas will market!

Much better than anything on the market. The rough side of the hide and the twist of the leather allows you to lock the sling in position by pulling on the tongue on each side. The one with sling swivels adjusts and works just like the Montana sling except no metal except the swivels, and it locks tight at whatever length you adjust it to. He's keeping the price down until he markets it: $30 for the sling; $38 with the swivels.
Email address:lazdbvunet.net. I like to sling it on the left side bottom up and barrel forward with left hand on the forearm. Just roll it up and over - the sling falls off the shoulder and the rifle rolls upright onto your right shoulder almost instantly; much quicker than pulling it off the shoulder and manipulating it into position. For antiques without swivel attachments it's wonderful and you only need one it moves on and off so easily. Wish I had the patent! John

John...
Email lazdbvunet.net does not work...returned twice as undeliverable.

John missed one little letter in the email address, it is lazydbvunet.net but he is one fine fellow!!

Sorry folks, getting old! Address is: lazydbvunet.net as noted above. John

Would there be any reaction from the salt in the leather in contact with the barrel? I know that US tanned leather oxidizes brass cartridge cases.

Looks like a great shotgun sling for chukar hunters.

I picked one of these up http://www.cabelas.com/product/Leatherman-Universal-Rifle-Sling/740918.uts
I use it for lugging my 99F .243 and muzzleloaders. Works fine and also no hardware.

I bought 3 of these from the maker within the last 6 months. Really like 'em on old Savage lever guns. Got one on an old 1895 Winchester as well.
