I've decided to make a sling for my new rifle, something I can be proud of and will be unique and personal to me. So, while trundling about britain's roads in my lorry I hatched a plan (which may be complete nonsense to anyone who knows what they're doing ). The rifle's not a light sporter so it needs a wide, comfortable, strong sling. I have a belt that looks ideal but I'm not going to hack it up as it was a gift - it's 4mm thick, 38mm wide. I've found similar online for a decent price but it's natural (needs to be dyed). The plan so far is to leave the ends the same width (38mm) but have a curved cut out a little way in from each end so it narrows to the width of my sling swivels (27mm), for want of a better description, it'll be shaped like a woman's sanitary item until I bend it back on itself and sew it (with the swivel in the narrow portion). I can make the above the right length for me, I guess slightly short would make sense so it can stretch slightly over time. I intend to glue it where it will be sewn before marking the holes and drilling them with a little tiny drill bit. And all this before we even get into dye and possibly some form of decoration BUT, I'm sure some of you guys know a lot better than I do Any chance of some pointers please?
