I've made quite a few over the years and given them to mates.

I don't trust plastic clip style buckles, nylon webbing with plastic adjustable bits especially after a mate of mine had his rifle fall off his back and dent his scope when out on a hunt when his s**ty petro chemical sling fitting failed.



Nothing plastic there mate, all metal.

“Accidental Discharges” DO NOT OCCUR !!

An "Unintended Discharge" is nothing more than the lack of appropriate safety procedures or the failure to follow them..!

All good OB ... I wasn't referring to your sling.
I actually thought yours with it's brass fittings looked quite sturdy.
