Chris_B Posted May 16, 2016 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2016 Hi. I will be purchasing a new-manufacture M1907 sling for a 1903A3 rifle made in 1943. In the past I have gone to gun shows and bought halves of originals here and there, or found repros that look good and are good quality and gotten them fairly cheap, but the manufacturer of those is a mystery; the sellers never seem to know what they have and fifteen bucks later, I have a sling. But this time I would like to buy from a supplier directly. I have heard good things about Turner Saddlery and El Paso Saddlery M1907 slings. To be honest, the photo of the El Paso M1907 looks fantastic, but I know photos can be fickle things. Who do you recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_B Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share #2 Posted May 25, 2016 Nobody buys slings for the rifles they use in re-enacting?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww2imp Posted May 25, 2016 Share #3 Posted May 25, 2016 You won't go wrong with either of those companies. I've seen both and they are excellent quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evets Posted October 18, 2016 Share #7 Posted October 18, 2016 I've heard good things about Turner, and if I wanted to spend top $ on a repro sling I would likely buy from them. I bought a "defect" M1907 sling for $10 from ATF and like it a lot...I've oiled it several times and it now looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
