Backpack hunters,

Due to increased volume of sales The Frankenstud Slingamarig Sling Keeper is now patent pending and also for sale via Montana Sling Company and it is still available from me.

I was able to reduce the the cost by 20% and can now offer these for $40 shipped to the lower 48

Now made of CNC turned glass bead blasted 6061 aircraft aluminum and held in place by one stainless steel screw.

Once in place it will securely prevent a slung rifle from falling or slipping off your shoulder.

Now taking Paypal

Brilliant idea and brilliantly simple!

Hmm, powder coated eh? Might have to send mine back for a touch-up before hunting seasons...

Only 3 left in stock

I have yet to install mine.

I am wondering. Has anyone tried this on an external frame pack?

Not sure why you would need this on a external frame
Pack. I have a little hook on my pack post and my sling hangs on that with my arm thru the sling. I can tie my boots and it don't move.

Ted is it just me or are you leaning in both those photos? Kinda makes it look like the lean is what's helping hold the sling on instead of the sling keeper? Just and FYI for future phot plugs of your product.
Also curious have you tried mounting it right on top of your shoulder instead of in the front? Seems maybe it would hold better on the top?

You can locate it anywhere you like.

Some packs won't allow top of shoulder placement because of load lifters

No lean required

If it grips the sling to stop it moving up and down, it could be a good idea. I've found the issue while climbing steepish hills is not that the rifle comes off my shoulder but that it rolls around to be horizontal.

Powdercoated Sling Studs are now available for shipment

Tan Olive and bead blasted aluminum

Ted,

Is it me, or are your SS screws a bit short? I am thinking of ordering a smooth one so
I don't tear up my leather sling?

They are 3/4" long and are not intended to go all of the way through to the end of the front edge

Ultra lightweight was our target as these are geared towards the backpacking hunter.

This is why the 1/4-20 screw hole is drilled and tapped through.

The stud tips the scale at less then one ounce.

Ted,

Thanks for the answer. I intend to order a green one from you. Will you take a check?

Please send me the address you want it sent to? Thanks!

Brittman

PM inbound

I take all forms of payment......check, money order or Paypal

Ted:

You should think about contacting a PR company such as Howard Communications. Shoot me a PM if interested.

Look for the Frankenstud in the next issue of The Western Hunter magazine and a Field & Stream magazine in 2018

Installed mine on the Exo K2 last night in preparation for this weekend's elk hunt. It's solid and seems like it'll work. I think I'll pull it off after the hunt for a quick spray paint job since mine is an original matte stainless-type finish.

So are these still available?

Yes they are available

Ted,
I know you sent me a PM some time ago. I've been busy. I want one of these things. I'm going to walk the Wuku river this October and while trackers will carry the bulk of the camp, I'll have a pack too. How do I buy one of these things, preferably anodized in OD or black, but I can work with that. Thanks.
