    Sling parts

    Another day another Ponder, I was thinking about Die Hard and it's use of MP5s while working on my Beretta and how John Mclane uses Christmas parcel tape to strap one to his back and a light bulb went off in my head.
    It will be something I can't do until later in the year as the Tape will be more abundant and cheaper but I know how to create pleather with it (can do it with drinks bottle lables too) but can you just buy the Ends and adjustment rings for slings? That may I can make it stronger and have the full get up if Santa gets me a Machine Gun for christmas (or more likely me buy it myself and not tell the Mrs I just spent nearly 200 quid on a rep for plinking).

    If you mean the pleather, done right it lasts aslong and sometimes longer as commercially made stuff as its essentially the same stuff, bonded together with heat which you can then stitch to re-enforce, had a Wallet made using Dr Pepper labels that lasted donkeys years.

    No, it was just a vague reference to the fact that the movie Die Hard was based on a book called Nothing Lasts Forever.

    What are you thinking, stick it on your back?

    Three point sling comes to mind.

    Not quite lol, more a homage, basically it'd be a conventional sling with the pleather made from the tape (I can dig out a video to show how it's done), it's just a bit of a pig to make the strong points where the rings attach to the Guns mounts and then theres the ring for size adjustment, I was just wondering if these parts can be brought rather than kill another perfectly good sling for them.
    Technically this idea would work for a Red Ryder too, especially the Christmas Wish variants and swap the tape for labels and you've got something for the fizz fans too.
