    I just made one of your slings.
    Works good on the long pull . It is a little finicky on the short pull . Overall I give it a 9.
    It was a easy , inexpensive project . Just the way I like it.
    Thank you.

    Wow! "Thrifty" is right! I just watched about five DIY videos for AR slings - yours must cost less than 1/2 what the next least expensive one did. Well done!

    I just wanted to say a huge thank you! This is probably the first DIY mod on my hunting carbine that is beyond all expectation. I've now got an adjustable hasty sling, the ability to tension up when carrying on my pack, and even enough slack to carry it safari style if I want. Really really awesome video 😀

    bro thank u, i suck at stitching though lol. mad props to u. i need an easy sewing machine for dummies. Time to go next door and butter up my neighbor, I know she has a sewing machine lol. I dont wanna take any chances as a nub and have my AR fall off my damn shoulder while trekking or running through the woods and it would be my luck that would happen if i tried. I will leave that part to the pros (next door lol) Thx though, bad ass vid

      You could drill into the stock and add a sling attachment point or you could wrap the sling around the narrow part of the stock behind where you grip it

    Very good, however is it possible to make the loop handle smaller or would that interfere with its function?

      This maybe late, but making it too small makes it hard to see depending on your machine.

    Hmm yeah blue force gear or magpul slings are $40-60. I think I went to my gun store and saw one even more expensive because I think it was a independent company. Kinda wondering what parts are on your AR15 though there are some $400 builds on youtube already.

  • @ScreamingReel500

    I found that QD is noisy...even little cling cling gives your position away in hunting and all situation. 1.5" nylon webbing, webbing sliders (plastic) and some paracord do just fine. Its how you attach to your gun so it make a smooth transition up the shoulder. Thanks for sharing your idea.

    I've made a couple of these and found that I can adjust it longer but shortening the sling while on you is virtually impossible. Maybe my triglides are too grippy, or the polypropylene webbing is too textured.

      I’m not a fan of single point slings so I probably won’t make a video on it. But a single isn’t much different than this. I’m sure you can figure it out
