Thank you! I just got my shotgun back from being torn down and they didn't re-buckle the sling. I went to do it and apparently had forgotten how. All is well now!

My girlfriend is a seamstress, I can't wait to send her this video, so we can order the materials!! Thank you for this great information!!

I made a sling a while back with 2yds of 17337, 2 tri-glides, and a 1" repair buckle. Just needed two stitches to make a loop for rapid adjustment. It was only like $5 for the materials. I've been wanting to make a new one that's a bit better, and this gives me some new ideas. Thanks!

Made myself my own sling several years ago, your website was An awesome one stop shop!

Thanks for explaining this. I have been interested in making my own slings for a while and this video explained what I needes to know perfectly.

Awesome content. I've seen spring loaded adjusters fail over age at the spring and wondered how to fix (other than buying a new sling r adjuster). I didn't know there were non-spring adjusters. Thanks for sharing.

Great Vid!! Outstanding tips for the everyday folks like me

Very nice, thank you for sharing!

This. This is brilliant. I've struggled to figure out the how and the why of slings, I've ordered high end slings and cheap slings, some of the fancier more expensive ones I feel like are heavy and bulky hardware, and seems to use too many tri-glides that I couldn't figure out why they are placed where they are2, so adjustments and tension always seemed like sort of a mystery to me. Seeing this all come together kinda helped me figure this out. Thank you!

A good tutorial for the DIY Crowd.

Awesome information! Thanks!

That was an awesome video and exactly what I was looking for. I ordered materials last week and they should be here tomorrow. I can wait to try the different options.

Great video.

I run more QDs than anything... But really, Uloops are king of the (semi) quick removal sling attachment. 17-25 bucks a pop, makes them well on the other size of cheap tho. Eventually I will upgrade all my slings to Uloops... Two at the time. eBay seems to be the best place to buy them. I have found them as cheap as 15 bucks each. Nice video. Very informative and all around helpful.

so helpful. fun video

Good stuff !

Great video! how many feet of webbing did you use and how many Tri glides and how many ladderlocks did you have on the setup worn in 25:41 ? thank you!!

Thank ya! Usually 3 yards is plenty enough to play with and appears on that example 2 tri-glides on the connection and 2 tri-glides on the captured tail.

Great stuff man thanks so much Does anyone know approx how many feet of webbing is needed to make these slings? Thanks

@MILSPECMONKEY

Thanks! It depends on what kind of sling you want to make, but 3 yards should give you enough to experiment with, luckily webbing is pretty cheap as well.

Out of curiosity, what are the other names some manufacturers use for spring loaded cam buckles?

We've been keeping an eye out, but the 1.25" hardware has been a pain in the ass to source. We'll probably offer some 1.25" webbing options soon though.

Once you find a solution that does what you want, then makes sense to not be in a big rush to find something new. Magpul also has the perk of being able to make their own hardware.
