Does any one know where the frogs used on military slings might be purchased. I want to make a custom strap and use these for attachments.

frogs, the brass goodies on a military strap. God only knows how they got that name.

I'd say your best bet would be to find and old dry rotted sling in a junk box at a gun show and take it apart for the material in it.

You mean they use slingshots to shoot frogs at the enemy...?

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Is the 'frog' the part like a squared-off figure-8, or buckle, or one of the ones that has a flip-up friction-lever to lock it in place (like the old seat-belts)?

I've wondered where one gets metal hardware like that as well; the shops that sell nylon webbing typically sell only plastic buckles & snaps I'd not trust with a heavy/valuable rifle.
