Slings on your Milsurps...

[10thmountain]

So what Slings are you using?

Standard issue? Repro? Real Deal?

Do you use them for Form or Function?

I just bought a Turner Sling. M1907 for my Garand. ( AMAZING QUALITY)

I am learning how to use it.

I think the most functional slings of all times are the US Standard issue Green Web Slings.

Pics later. I promise.

As close to original issue as possible. Shiny clean reproductions on a battle rifle seem out of place to me.

Real ones when at all possible. Even a repro 1907 looks out of place if it is not aged.

Honestly, not a sling guy. They take up too much room in the safe and I can't afford one of those fancy safe rooms to display them all...

One day I should learn how to use one. No, seriously...'cause right now I just use the shooting bench.

I have the web slings on my M1's. Mostly for looks, but I try to get period correct. My 1945 Springfield has a 1945 dated sling. 1955 H&R a 1955 dated sling, etc. I do have a period looking leather sling but took it off in favor of the web slings.

Garand has surplus green cotton sling. It even has rust stains. K98's have leather slings likely Israeli.

I will use the real ones if available, on my Nagant it's original with RIFLE.
