Andy's lists Brownells as a dealer & they ship to Canada. No Rhodesian slings on the site at present, but the can order one in.

I have a black leather one on my GSR that I ordered directly from Andy.
One word of caution with these slings - they're slipper as can be. I am constantly having to weave it into backpack straps and other things to prevent it from falling off my shoulder.

It is an ironic name for a product.

During the Bush War, the Rhodesian Light Infantry were famous for taking the slings and sling swivels OFF their FN FALs. Less weight, and a soldier's rifle is always in his hands.

I concur on that one. A friend of mine worked guarding a farm there around that time. His FN was always strap free. The only times I've used a sling on an FN was on formation marches or on parade. On maneuvers?.. Nein.
