I placed an order with RWVA for a web sling a few days ago. Just received an email back saying they can't ship to Colorado. Anybody know of another good source to purchase a web sling suitable for Appleseed?

If you don't qualify for CMP and RC arms is out, PM me and I'll sell you one of my CJW slings, which I have to buy in bulk, 100 at a time.
Can suggest/recommend three sources for web or nylon slings - new or used, at relatively decent prices, comparable to, or somewhat better than (not counting shipping, etc...) AS Store's:
1) Numrich Arms - The Gun Parts Corporation, West Hurley, NY,
2) CDNN Sports of Texas: just ordered bunch of studs and swivels on line - very quick, and
3) good, old Cheaper Than Dirt (which sometimes isn't...)
Recommended in ascending order of preference, and cost...#1 first, etc...

Thanks for the suggestions! I do qualify for CMP purchase so probably order from them - good price :) $7.95. Some places I found had prices of $30+ - yikes!!! Think I'll order a couple while I'm at it.
Ebay's got some from cheap to outragous.
There are several sling sellers in each issue of Shotgun News.
