Waterbury Buckle Discontinued Hooks for the M1907 Sling/Our New Dies Are Finished

Uploaded Photos of Rock Island Arsenal Drawings of the M1907 Sling and M1907 Modified (Browning Automatic Rifle Sling) Took awhile to dig these up.


Also two part video of me (no actor, wife says don't quit my day job), forming the M1907 Frog/Hooks.

Upon comparing the finished part against Rock Island Arsenals Drawing, the part was dead on within the minimum/maximum tolerances specified by Rock Island. Another Outstanding job by Lumpkin Tool & Die LLC

Nice to finally see plans for slings. Something to save...

Looks like a very nice product, just out of curiosity will the WW I brass hooks be coated black as the originals?

We can blacken the brass on request. The chemical blackening is as original per Mil Spec, but wears easily.
