Service rifle slings are available in saddle-tan and black. All slings are 54" but easily cut to desired length- 1 1/4". Tips- In order to make your Ron Brown Rifle Sling more limber, these suggestions may help: Using a round, smooth surface, like on a coat hanger rod or round table leg, run the sling back and forth on the flesh side, vigorously, as though you are polishing a pair of shoes. This will break down the fibers in the leather so they will be more limber and flexible. Ron Brown does this to every sling before it leaves his factory, but because leather is a natural product, each piece differs from the other and it may need more attention. With use, all leather will limber, but this will bring faster results. Do not use Neetsfoot oil on top of Ron Brown's Aussie conditioner because it affects the leather negatively. When the slings leave their workshop, they are all ready to go and should be good for years.
