How is their products?? I've never ordered anything from the Co. but am thinking about ordering a couple of "Trader Rifle Straps" and maybe a Big Bore rifle cartridge belt slide from them.. Just gonna get a little feed back from the AR group before I make my mind up. I really like the straps, but am on the fence as to the belt cartridge holder.. I have thought about getting one from MS (Holy shit, ghast!!), yes, that MS!! His are really nicely made and look nice as well, but a bit pricey for basically the same product as Trader Keith's product.
Any input would be appreciated! Thanks guys.

Great products from shell holders,rifle slings, snap caps, etc. I have bought products from them for the past 10+ years, no regrets, quick response.

Ditto. I have used their slings and the culling belt and both are good products.

Keith's slings are the best.
Keith's "Spanish Leather six round slip" is nicely made but if you remove one round, it relaxes the leather and the bullets ether side become loose which could be a problem down the track.
The bullets are also spread apart on this six round leather slip and for the length you could fit eight rounds.

Agreed. I bought their leather and canvas sling and their canvas big bore cartridge slide and found them to be of fine quality.

Outstanding quality. Their culling belts are some of the best on the market. I have four of them. That's all that Tony Makris of "Under Wild Skies" uses. Bill Keith has always been very responsive to my requests and orders.

Take a look at the leather goods made by Dick Murray of Murray Leather.
There is stout testimony from a professional hunter who had an encounter with a buffalo.
I am still trying to wear out my Murray belts.

Thank you for the input, gents..

Looks like Keiths lives up to their reputation as a vendor great quality gear..

I have a Keith canvas sling. Bought it for my CZ550FS to take to Moz. After carrying it all Summer while getting in shape, decided to take it off and go with a neoprene one that has four shell loops. The Keith sling looked awesome and shouted Africa, but in actual use, it slipped off the shoulder a lot, was stiff and unpliable, was too wide with no real shoulder protection. It was well made and like I said looked great. The one I took worked like a charm, made carrying the rifle for hours on end a bearable situation and the extra rounds close at hand worked well too. Carried solids on the sling with softs on the belt in Murray leather shell holders. JMO.

While at the SCI show in Reno a couple of weeks ago, I bought a leather scope case from their booth. I will use it next time I go to Africa to carry an extra scope. It looks greats and seems well made.

The Keith Double Duty cartridge holder is awesome. It will drop two cartridges into you hand for a quick reload of the double rifle. I have several of Bill's products and love them. He also has a good assortment of big bore jags and brushes.

PSmith, I agree fully on the Keith "DOUBLE DUTY"! I have a couple of them and they work like a charm. They automaticlly drop two rounds right into the plam of your hand with the flip of the thumb. When hunting I have two in my double, two on the back of my right hand shooting glove, and two in the DOUBLE DUTY. If hunting soft skinned game they will all be softs, if Buffalo, then there will be a soft in the right barrel, and all the rest will be solids! This is the quickest way to get off a max of six shots from a double in very short order!

I also like the canvas culling belt!

The only problem I have is I shoot too many different chamberings in double rifles, and so must have different sizes of all these things!

Larry,

I guess we are the heretics here. I have 2 Fredrico Felini foam green slings. They are the cats ass for comfort, weigh nothing and have served me well. Trader Keith's stuff is great stuff as far as I know but it is ancient technology. Oh! Shit! Here we go on the traditional kit thing again.

Mark - Thanks for the heads up. I am running for cover!!
