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

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.butlersrangers wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 2:28 pm 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).
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.
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.madsenshooter wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2024 2:11 am 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.
