Repro Kerr sling.

Just received a repro Kerr Nobuckl sling. Pretty nice one with aged hardware. I like it and it works well. Looks pretty good too.

I like it, where did you get from?

It looks good. I've never used a Kerr Sling; let us know how it works out for shooting.

(If those are reproductions, the Kerr slings appear well done).

Thanks! A seller on Ebay. It's a repro, but a very good one. Especially for the price. He has several different styles.

Thanks! It's a very good repro. I really like it so far.

The great thing about reproductions is you don't have to worry about tearing it up or abusing it.

Yup. I usually don't go for repro stuff, in fact this is my first repro sling in all the decades I have been collecting. Thing is, original turn of the century Krag slings are hard to come by, expensive, and usually in bad condition. I use my slings to shoot and figured a nice repro was the way to go on this one.

The cloth looks to be of better quality than the one I bought, oh 15yrs ago or so. I tried using it once in prone, not over tight and I could see the rivets were pulling through the cloth.

Oh, that's no good. This one is built very well, I don't think there is any chance of that. I have pulled a really tight arm wrap with it and all seems fine so far.

My personal favorite is a nicely crafted leather 1907 sling!

However, I have/had numerous Kerr slings (original & reproduction) and like them very much! They are easy to install, adjust and look good on period correct firearms. I've also found them to be very durable and robust.
