I'm looking for a shotgun sling + a few other things.

Want I'm looking for is a leather sling with ammo loops. I've started work on a Rem 870WM and my plans are to to do an old school riot style SG. So no tacti-cool parts, no sidesaddle, no synthetic stocks, no holosights....

The plan is straight forward and simple
18.5" Barrel
+1 mag extension w/sling swivel
lace up leather cuff with ammo loops
the most plain jane wood furniture I can find
leather sling with ammo loops

My main problem is finding the sling. Any suggestions.

I know you said leather...

I think the weight of the shells swinging back and forth might be a negative while drawing a bead... but YMMV

Check out Murray's leather belts w/ shell loops. Kinda pricey which could be why you don't see many leather slings with loops.

Not the best idea, that sling. A lb or so of dead weight swinging under your weapon as you try to operate it under stressful conditions will educate you to The Pendulum Effect PDQ.

The rest of your project sounds great. Good luck...

I guess I should have told ya in my first post, this WILL NOT be a HD shotgun, just a range toy.

Ebay has good deals on wood stocks-old police ones for around $5-$15.

Range toy? It'll be a fine defensive tool also.

But it's your shotgun and life.....
