Andy's FAQ's

Do you have slings in stock?
Yes, while normally I make many to order, sometimes I get ahead and have a few straps made. I currently have brown and black 1" ready to ship. I have many many 1.25 inch black cut that I need to dye and assemble, this can take a day or three, not much more.

Custom orders:
I try to keep within a two week period for delivery. Don't be offended if I ask for you to contact me in a week or two as I hate having orders stacked up and unhappy customers.

Why does it take so long for my order?
Orders get prioritized as I get them, if you pay by check , I then deposit your check, wait for funds (been burned, sorry) I then start on your order and send it when done.

 If you have a deployment, class or hunt upcoming SOON, contact me asap about this PLEASE TELL ME, this is important!

 I take Paypal or Google Checkout for CC orders, this is FAST for me and safe for you. If you use another online payment method, please tell me, I would be glad to both use it and promote it.

Can you make me a wicked-cool-neato-special-ops-commando-recon-seal-ranger-delta-ninja tactical sling with 3200 buckles, straps, velcro, attachments and sliders with a DVD for instructions?
Uh....why?  (look for my simple and effective Designated Marksman sling in leather, available NOW!)

Can you make me a Nylon Sling?
Go here, get some nylon http://tnwebbing.com/  make it yourself for PENNIES!

Have you  designed your own sling idea?
I can make it! In leather or synthetic, draw what you want, email it or snail mail it. If needed I can send material for you with attachments and such to make your own. Just ask.

Do you do anything else besides slings?
Holsters, Mag Pouches (mostly 1911). I can also fix harnesses, leather items, pretty much anything that is leather or sewing related is in my realm. I take on weird projects. Horsey folks are welcome to get tack fixed etc. Just ask!

Are you a cop?
Yes.

Can you send stuff overseas?
Yes, tell me where, APO/address etc.

Will you take trades for slings?
Yes, whatcha got? My most common trades are for weird holsters (1911) and other gear. I have an outstanding swap deal for Active Duty military for Gear etc. Contact me if needed. I also have slung complete rifle collections in swap for neglected, lesser used firearms and ammo.

Why would I pay so much for your sling instead of getting a nylon or pressed fake-o leather one for $20 at Wal-Mart?
The old sayings go:

•  "if you have to ask..."
• "you get what you pay for"
• "buy cheap, buy twice"

I use VERY nice leather in my slings, in fact I use a fine bridle leather from a high end tanner. I am the only craftsman in my shop so you get MY product, not a factory sling made by some nameless slave-like 3rd world person who could care less about your rifle, hunt or Op.

My QC process is extensive, I toss many slings that are not usable due to leather imperfections. (note, leather always has some "character", I judge what will weaken a sling and put it in the trash)

How long have you been making the Ching Sling (and slings in general)?
18++ years.  I make them from a pattern of the first Ching Sling maker Bruce Nelson. Myself and two other are the only "Approved" Ching Sling makers by Eric Ching (Galco and Wilderness are the others). Beware of cheap imitations.

Privacy Policy:
I do not sell nor distribute your name, email or ANY information about you. I do not keep an online database of customers as I cannot ensure privacy of that medium from prying eyes or government intrusion I only keep hardcopy orders (I print online orders, then delete as often as I can). I am the only person who knows you bought a sling and own a firearm. In the future I might set up a mailing list for products.
