I would like to find another Beeman Professional Tapered Strap, as they were listed in the old Beeman catalogs, catalog #7507, and #7508... or a similar one from whoever may still make them... they have the quick detachable sling swivels that I prefer.

I have the 7507 and 7508 that I purchased years ago that I really like!

I can easily remove and attach them to another rifle, but I'm curious if someone makes the same sling... I've looked online, but couldn't find the same... lots of adjustable straps, and I have a few of those too... I think maybe Bianchi made them for Beeman.

If anyone knows, let me know... Thanks !

do i think you will find a Beeman sling with end clips ready to go, more then likely not

but tampered slings are easy the find, it was for me, at a little less than 50 bucks 

and the you would need some Uncle Mike

it will not be free but i won't sell a Beeman sling cheap any way 

get something new, the leather or material will be fresh and will last a very long time

@marflow Yeah, I've looked at those and similar... but I want one just like the Beeman ones... I don't want all the "adjustable" stuff and holes... I have a couple of those on my firearms that I rarely shoot.

I'll be cherishing my Beeman ones... I keep the leather subtle too... use to just do a light coat of Neatsfoot Oil, but Ballistol does a great job now too, on the entire rifle !

well your goal is noble but how successful you will be is unknown 

take one of your slings down to a leather goods maker and have him duplicated it

my guess is they sold very few of them and the ones they did sell are hanging on rifles now 

so you have a few options 

get lucky

select something similar 

have one made 

or just keep wishing

Ebay. Search for:   basketweave rifle sling.    Almost a dozen that look like the old Beeman #7508 

 

I think their old slings were made by Uncle Mike's

@marflow I guess I didn't realize how "rare" the Beeman straps are... makes me appreciate the two that I have.

Browsing through the old Beeman airgun guides, sure make me nostalgic for those days... heck, Beeman doesn't even have a website anymore, that I can find.

I may consider having one custom made, if I can find a local leathersmith... may have to take a trip out to the nearby Amish community.

Looking forward to the return of local gun shows... always fun looking for various items !

@derrick Yeah, I've checked ebay, but still couldn't find exactly what I wanted...

I did see one for a "Handmade Leather Thumb Hole Rifle Sling" that looks interesting.

Always fun hunting down things on ebay... I'm sure something will turn up sooner or later... just surprised that there isn't a similar made one today.

IIRC, they were made by GALCO, or by Uncle Mike's. IIRC, Allen pioneered this as the "Cobra" design.

You might want to look for "Levy's Leathers" under Amazon's umbrella and ask them if they can make a non-adjustable one. Though that would be suicidal for a commercial product, for a custom they might be able to do it.

@hector-j-medina-g Thanks Hector... I'll check them out... I think I might try one of the adjustable cobra ones to see how I like it...

I like the suede lining too... this one looks like it might work okay...

The link doesn't seem to work, so I attached a screenshot...

Check Etsey.  Ton of custom straps.  Most artisans on Etsey will do custom orders as well.
