Abstract: A firearm sling includes an elongated pad and a sling member which can be adjusted lengthwise absent any relative repositioning of the pad with respect to the sling member or an associated firearm. At one end the pad has a thumb loop for over-the-shoulder carrying of the firearm and at an opposite end the pad includes a protective piece of material for underlying an associated sling swivel to prevent damage to an associated firearm stock. Longitudinal axes of the pad and the sling member are maintained substantially aligned by two fabric webs each having an opposite end secured to the pad with the sling member being slidably retained between the fabric webs and pad.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a sling for a rifle, shotgun or the like which is formed of a web of material folded upon itself to define first, second and third web portions with the second web portion being sandwiched between the first and third web portions, the sling being so folded as to have first and second overfolded opposite ends each carrying a connector for connecting the sling to a rifle, shotgun or the like, the first web portion passing through a loop, a third overfolded end portion entraining the loop at a point between the first and second overfolded end portions, and the loop being connected to one end of the web whereby the first web portion can be drawn selectively in opposite directions through the loop to increase or decrease the overall length of the sling and after any such adjustment, the first web portion is frictionally gripped in the loop area by the frictional engagement between the first web end and the third overfolded end portion.
