Removable Sling Pad

Abstract

A removable pad for a weapon sling that wraps around conventional rifle slings and secures to the sling mount. The removable sling pad has an elongated padded body, a pair of side flaps and an end flap. The end flap is inserted through the rifle's sling swivel and folded back over the outside of the rifle sling. The side flaps fold over the end flap and each other so that opposed sides of hook and loop material on the overlapping flaps interconnect.

 an elongated pad body adapted for covering the sling;   a pair of opposed side flaps extending laterally from the pad body and adapted for folding over and overlapping engagement around the sling;   an elongated end flap extending longitudinally from the pad body and adapted for insertion through the swivel for overlapping engagement with the pair of opposed side flaps.   
     
     
         2 : The sling pad of  claim 1  wherein each of the pair of side flaps includes a section of corresponding hook and loop fastener material adapted to detachably overlap and interconnect the side flaps together over the sling when connected to the weapon. 
     
     
         3 : The sling pad of  claim 2  wherein the end flap includes a section of hook and loop fastener material adapted to detachably overlap the section of corresponding hook and loop fastener material of one of the pair of side flaps. 
     
     
         4 : The sling pad of  claim 2  wherein the end flap includes a section of hook and loop fastener material adapted to detachably overlap between each of the section of corresponding hook and loop fastener material of one of the pair of side flaps.
