I’m Going to Build This Today.

From the AR15.com forums: Make your own Tac Sling. Too cool.

UPDATE: Let me rephrase that. I would build this today, if any hardware/home improvement store within a 10 mile radius actually stocked the materials!

Damn!

Further update: I purchased all the necessary materials on line from Strapworks.com for $11.40 including postage. I should have it in a week or so. I selected heavy-duty polypropylene webbing rather than nylon, and I bought a shoulder pad, too.

Say Uncle advises checking out your local fabric shop. After, of course, I ordered my stuff.

UPDATE, 4/26: The stuff showed up in today’s mail. It took ten minutes to assemble, though the instructions now advise that the short piece of 1.5″ web should be 7″ and not 5″ for ease of assembly. Now I have a tac sling for my AR! Very cool. There’s also a PDF file of the instructions if anyone wants to download it:

I want to add something else: This sling, while costing about $11, is a damned nice sling! At least as good as some commercial units I’ve seen with much higher price tags. Well worth the time & money.
