Finally, I am comfortable releasing this adjustable No-Drill sling model after many years of prototyping. I had to use a small piece of metal hardware to make the two-piece sling strong enough that I felt confident it would securely carry my customers' heirloom, antique, and collectible rifles that lack swivel studs.
You will have over 10 inches of length adjustment. This makes the sling suitable for any-length rifle, from shotguns to lever-action rifles, and even short-barreled carbines. The actual exact length will depend on your particular rifle, taking into account the barrel thickness and the buttstock height and thickness.
The sling installs just as quickly and simply as the Fixed-Length No-Drill Sling. There is one black steel rectangular loop used to attach the barrel end to the butt end that is 95% covered by leather. This should not pose a risk of damaging your wood stocks.
The barrel-end attaching braid has been simplified. I have done a lot of testing, and I know many of you prefer the older model's cosmetically appealing double barrel knot design, but trust me, this new version holds up much better and is more flexible in the field.
These slings are custom-made-to-order. I will not be making them in advance. They take at least twice as long to make and use 2x the leather as other slings. Please allow a little extra time for the build. If you need it sooner for an upcoming hunting trip or shooting event, please message me, and I will do my best to accommodate your timeline.
