Meantime, anyone have any preferences from what is available today? I was trained with a traditional sling on the M14 for classic shooting positions and still a newbie at the tactical sling thing.
I think a two point is still my preference, rifle is too heavy for a single point and the three point looks too fussy. The VTAC interface was fair, took a lot of adjusting and was never quite done fiddling with it..

Anyone care to post pics of how you guys run your slings?

QD on the front and rear. I run the rear on the outside of the butt to keep the rifle close to the body when slung across the chest
I can also use the loop in the slider portion as an arm loop to support stable prone shooting.

2 point slings are the best for overall use as it can keep you're hands free if needed, quick and easy to use, and good with heavy rifles too. 1 points are great for range use but you can't run with your hands free. 3 points are complex and the straps can get caught on everything. 2/1 point slings are a compromise.

A Les Tam sling for your 03A3 would be top-shelf, but the wait list is years long. If you're lucky Les will have one of his 'seconds' available for sale at the next gun show.
I have seen Mr. Tam's work around town and I know that he is highly regarded and referred both locally and on the web. I just emailed him about ordering a sling, I have time and he's not getting any younger. I will unfortunately miss the next few gun shows.
My dad has a leather sling (IIRC) on his 1903 and I think one for his Garand. I'll have to take a closer look at them.
Cool thanks.
