Hi guys,
I need 6 feet of tan 550 para cord for a handle wrap. Let me know what you got. Thanks.

Ifrit, you know what works great for a handle wrap, is waxed cotton cord. I have never really found it myself, but I just make my own from some thick thread/heavy duty yarn from hobby lobby. What I do is buy a thick thread of whatever color I want (it will be in the yarn section), and tie up 4 strands and wax them like I am making a bowstring. Than I make a reverse wrap cord from those 4 strands, (it only takes a minute if you make it like you make a bow string), and there's your cord. It works great, I never glue mine because since it is waxed it will just stick to the bow if you wrap it good enough, and it feels great in your hand. I like to mix colors in the same handle wrap, here is what it looks like:

Don't have tan, but have black, white, and od green, plus some red, green and blue that are a cool mix with other colors. If you're interested in what I have you're welcome to it.
The stuff is pretty cheap at army depot stores, if there's one near you. I think I paid around $8 - 9 for 50ft for each color I bought.

I've got some Desert Tan 550 paracord and I can spare 6 ft. Where can I send it?

I can get you a whole pack of the stuff if you want. PM me.
