ForwardThis guide was prompted after reviewing the DIY tactical sling thread at AR15.com. A single point sling design by manowar669 was mentioned on the web site and instructions are still available via http. I have slightly modified manowar669's design and that is what you will find in this guide.
MaterialsAll materials for this project can be purchased from strapworks.com. I can recommend them and there are many positive recommendations for this company on AR15.com.
Required Materials
• 6 feet of 1.5 inch heavyweight polypropylene webbing• 7 inches of 1 inch heavyweight polypropylene webbing• one dual adjust 1.5 inch side release buckle• one 1.5 inch slide• one 1 inch slide
Instructions
Step OneAttach the one inch webbing to the last adjuster of the female end of the buckle as shown in the following picture. Overlap the webbing about one inch and use a heavy synthetic thread when sewing the end of the strap. Notice the orientation of the buckle. This is the proper buckle orientation for a right handed shooter as it places the adjuster the 1.5 inch webbing will attach to closest to the shooter's body. The sling will work either way, but this orientation is somewhat nicer.
Use a heavyweight synthetic thread when sewing the end of the webbing. The sewing in the pictures is just a first step, these will be machine sewn after initial assembly.

Step TwoAttach the 1.5 inch webbing to the adjuster as shown in the following picture and sew.
Step ThreePlace the one inch slide onto the one inch strap and route the strap as shown below. You use this strap to attach the sling to your rifle.

Step FourThread a 1.5 inch slide onto the wide webbing, add the buckle, then route the free end of the webbing back through the slide. Pay attention to the orientation of the slide and buckle. The free end of the webbing and the slide should on the outside of the sling loop. The male buckle should be oriented to mate properly with the other buckle half.
That's all there is to it. Attach the sling to a rifle and latch the buckle to form the carrying loop.
