I have to wonder why ruger has to make adding accessories to the Mini-14 such a chore while the AR is easily accessorized. However because Ruger chose to make the front sling loop only wide enough for a paper thin sling, this sling is far too fat to feed thru the loop. As far as the rest of the sling it looks nice. The only part of the sling I question the quality is the tension loop at the bottom.
#Remington rifle sling leather series#
Wont fit the new 500 series 300 blackout! The leather is soft and supple, made by Levy in Canada. They all fit perfectly well on all 3 rifles. I see where Ruger has listed this sling will not fit the Ruger Mini 14? I have purchased 3 of these black cobra slings for my Ruger Mini 14, Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle 308, and for my 10/22 International. I intend to order this sling for my AR-556. It looks great & is extremely comfortable. I installed this sling with Ruger swivels on my 77/357. You have to squish the end of the leather to get it to fit. The snug fit they talk about in another review is how it fits on the factory clamp. Super nice leather surprised by how good the quality is. If you want a sling, get this one you cant go wrong with it. If you look at the Levys web site you will see that most of their other straps, etc are much more expensive than this one from Ruger. Got it started and the rest went right in. So, my next move was to pinch the whole end up about 2 inches. So, at first I tried pinching the end of the strap with a pliers. It has been said here that its hard getting it in the front loop. to all the rugar employees keep up the good work on your rifles and,handguns no better weapons out there going to buy another one when i buy my rugar 300 mag. I would highly recommend using a thread-loc on these screws once you have it adjusted to your fit. This sling was great up until one of the barrel screws backed out on the top loop causing my gun to land on the access road I was on. Its a handsome sling for a handsome rifle. The leather is great quality, it is very soft. It does have a snug fit up front, but after a couple minutes I was able to work the strap through. I just got this for my Mini 14 ranch rifle.
