Barbwire Bill, SASS #661 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I am looking for a leather worker who makes custom rifle slings. I would like one that doesn’t use Chicago screws to close the loops as I want to prevent scratches to my stock. haven’t had a lot of luck on the web so hoping someone might be able to point me someplace. thanks BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrel Cody Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'd suggest Michigan Rattler http://www.michiganrattler.com/index.html I've seen some guitar straps he's made on Facebook and I think they were all leather. Regardless I'm positive he can make whatever you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Here's something very reasonably priced that uses no metal in the sling, and soft material too. https://www.huntercompany.com/collections/quick-fire-slings/products/copy-of-magnasoft-rifle-slings-1 Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Or, fit a regular sling as you want it, take out metal parts, punch any extra holes needed, and lace the adjustment points with leather lacing. Will be adjustable later on if you change guns or minds. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grass Range Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 One thing about Chicago screws they are guaranteed to get loose and come apart so if you are at sling arms you rifle will fall off of your shoulder. Possibly wreck the scope and maybe the stock or barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
