I just made this, this week for gr4nitsky. Many of the design concepts I'm going to carry on to my next builds as it asked a greater degree of adjustability.
Thanks for your order gr4nitsky!

Looks nice! How comfortable is paracord as a sling?

Yes, thank you SY! I can't wait to try it! It's definitely en-route, but crossing the Canadian border always creates headache, so I wait patiently. Game day is Saturday - my Bachelor Part/Big Day Out. Paintball and Go-karting yeh!!!
I'll put up some photos, summary and comments of the sling after I test it out!

Sounds good! Should be nice and sturdy for you and fully adjustable!

OK I'm a bad person, I STILL don't have any photos of the sling, on the gun, or me wearing it. But it worked a treat!
Not that my gun is especially heavy, but it certanly was nice to be able to let go. I currently have the sling attached to the low-end of the collapsible buttstock (on a quick release), but i will experiment moving the attach forward next game, probably where the buttstock joins the gun.
It was great to wear during the games, never really knew it was there, and it didn't prevent me shooting both hands either. (I'm right handed, so I wore it over my left shoulder as I understand that is the typical way to wear it - I don't have a side-arm, but I understand that's the driver in choosing a side).
So hopefully we'll get to play next weekend, and I'll get some more pics then!
+1 for Sy, his workmanship and communication during the build was excellent!

Thanks bud!! Just got some more materials in and may end up making a tan/black one that clips to my chest rig d-rings! I've had a couple interested parties already.
Non-paintball related: I'm going to start making sunglass holders...you know the ones with the elastic bands, only these will be made to order...team colors...camos...etc.

Hey Sy, what would you charge for one of those slings? I might be interested since I'm getting a tad more scratch from work these days.

OMG - I have one available right now (tan with black accent)that attaches to the d-rings on your chest rig or tac vest. I sell these for $35 which includes shipping.

p.s. I have used mine another couple times since the last report. Still love it! I switched around the webbing and move the attachment up to where the stock mates to the gun, and it's going to stay there. Highly recommended.

Ok it can hold 35 pounds, but can it sing and dance? OK, real thing here, nice work on them, I like them but my vest does not have the D-rings, but you never know I may rig something up to be able to use one.
If I had the money I would order a lot of them and set up a vendor booth at the next Super Game and sell a few. Or if you weren't so far, get you to do it lol.

Yepper...might be selling them at the next big game this spring! I have sold a lot of them over the last few months. Makes it a little easier to play this sport we love so much!

I'll have to see about getting some scratch together after paying my cable and the bill at the jewelry store (Having a girlfriend is almost as expensive as a paintball habit after all...almost.)
