Thanks to Kumdo

Kumdo sugested that I just use 550 cord and do up my own lanyard. It worked great. I may end up cutting the ends a little to make it a bit shorter but here is what it looks like so far. Many thanks to him.

Shelby,
Nice job on the lanyard. I have tied the same on my AR. I got the idea to use the noose style from my MicroTech Socom. The Socom came with the exact same lanyard as you tied. I find that lanyard style best on folders. Most of the time you might not need the para-cord, but if you ever do its there.

Unlike more complicated braiding or knots the "noose" style lanyard system is easily untied to make a usable wrist laynard. In fact you can carry a longer length of para-cord than with just a regular loop.
Unless of course you have the full cord wrapped BT or WB on you.

Nice job, Alum. Looks great!

they are hard to get the hang of at first, but great!
Actually, I leave the wrapped part shorter and the tails longer on mine-this helps it "slide" open for a wrist lanyard easier.
same knot that chris reeve uses-there are good instructions on his website.
looks good.
cheers,
Derek
