M1A sling

[gunnut44]

Looking for a leather sling for my super match who makes good quality slings?

Dont have the link but Turner saddlery makes one and I think midway sells them.

Springfield Armory sells them. Les Tam makes a spectacular match sling but you will need patience. He is about 18 months out on slings.

Personally, I love a cotton or nylon sling for matches, probably because that is all I have ever used.

Les Tam makes a high quality 1.25" 'National Match' style sling that keeps him very busy in retirement. Whether they admit it or not several of the major players in that market made their designs under the tutelage of Mr. Tam.

I took interest in these slings and decided to venture my leather craft just for personal enrichment reasons. Les took hours of his time on multiple phone calls explaining different things to me and not just the what but the why. You can't go wrong with any of the makers listed but my money is on Les Tam.

Here are a couple examples of ones that I have made. They sit on most of my frequently shot rifles and I've made a couple dozen for in state CMP High Power shooters.

Thanks everyone for the replies.
Eaglestroker, nice work and nice guns! I have a 45-70 like yours with big loop 18" and skinner sights too. I have a nice vintage floral bianchi sling on it. One of my favorites.
