    Vaughan Leather Slings (Outdoor Supplies)

    Anyone here have experience of using these ?

    Happy with the quality etc ?

    I'd like to give the lever gun a bit more traditional looking sling

    @ebf I’ve got one on the Baikal I got off here a couple of years ago. Not sure how old it is, but it’s pretty damn solid. I find it comfortable on the shoulder. I don’t know if you’ve viewed one in the flesh, but I’m relatively local to you (Porirua) so you’re welcome to check it out if you like.

    or check this guy out on TM @ebf if you are after something a bit more personal . He makes the slings himself along with other leather gun holsters/hunting gear/black powder and has helped me out in the past with my leather work .
    Check all his listings and there might be something there that you like , he does many styles custom made incl with round holders on sling, basket weave, straight or cobra style etc .
    nice stuff .
