Sling parts

[Segata]

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.

Been reseaching some, with an actual HK style mount clip it looks to accomadate potentially a wider section than your average quick release one so I might be able to get away with just using a flexible adhesive with a box stitch to make the ends, just leaves the sizing ring and connecting ring (based on making it sizeable like my Tourbon one).

If you can get to your local tip with a stanley knife blade then you can probably get yourself some top quality leather from an old sofa. The great thing about real leather is that is can be joined very easily and strong with superglue.

I made some satchels and bags with my grand kids from hide from an old sofa, to hold catapault ammo, they turned out great, the kids loved doing it. One thing, be careful when holding superglued leather together, it exotherms, gets very hot.

Don't worry I've felt the joys of that several times where it's dripped on clothing, in this case it's not so much pleather vs leather, it's wanting to make a homage sling but I have recycled leather in the past, my SAK pouch is made from an old pair of my Mothers boots along with the wrist brace on one of my old Black widows (not yet found them, the custom ones seen recently are ones donated to me) and I did have a stash of it somewhere but like usual I couldn't tell you where it went.
There is also a pair of E46 seats in the Garden, you wouldn't want them in your show car but the hides still reasonable for being in the elements, I'll probably grab the headrest off one to do Slingshot pouches when I sort bands and finally carve the flat bander (just not managed to get to the woods with the apple trees yet, need to arrange a helper for it too).

The Pleather when made will be compareable to a PU belt, plenty strong aslong as you aren't stupidly abusive with it, It will stitch the same as leather although I'll probably be wanting to get a machine to it as it'll be muder on the hands, the other added joy is needing to be careful with the heat damaging the design so I'll create the 'core' first using heavy duty Bin liners and then add the outer tape layer and possibly a clear layer for protection from wear on the design.

Heres basically how the process works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-7grMXIXs0
