mb399579 Posted January 29, 2017 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2017 Hello, I've recently acquired a "strap" in a flea market (among non military items). Firstly,I didn't identify it as a rifle sling. Returned at home, I compared it with my WW2 OD7 sling : same dimensions, same material and weave, but made in OD3 web and no marking. Do you think this "sling" is ww2 made ? Thanks for your help.

Chris_B Posted January 29, 2017 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2017 I believe it is, based on the metal and on the weave of the material. Too bad it's missing the rear sling mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted January 29, 2017 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2017 I agree looks to be a WW2 sling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronny67 Posted January 29, 2017 Share #5 Posted January 29, 2017 Buy an OD7 sling on ebay for cheap and swap parts. Then you will have a great sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted February 18, 2017 Share #8 Posted February 18, 2017 I am thinking that the very large "dimple" in the metal tab indicates a non-US maker. Is there any maker stamps on the canvas? BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb399579 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share #9 Posted February 18, 2017 Hello, As It was indicated in my first post, there is no marking. Bertrand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooterj2003 Posted February 25, 2017 Share #10 Posted February 25, 2017 It could be ww2 it could be Korea or Vietnam also they issued canvas up to Vietnam until nylon was used in the 60's and if something like that is in supply it stays until issued,I have several canvas and nylon and two 1907 leather,one on my 513t but I prefer the web slings for shooting aides.

BOLO Posted February 28, 2017 Share #11 Posted February 28, 2017 the design is kind of a universal rifle sling, it can be used on different rifles / riot shot guns any country that adopted the M1 Garand or M14 , M16 , could have mfg this, that could explain the different shade of green could be Greek surplus, Taiwan, South Korea, Italy, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
