CMP just made the M1923 Sling Legal in Vintage Rifle Matches!!

[Col. Colt]

I just found out that, after two requests, CMP has made the M1923 Sling legal to use in Vintage Rifle Matches! The M1923 is probably the best USGI Issue Sling, ever, for a full sized Battle Rifle. Basically an infinitely adjustable M1907 in more durable canvas instead of leather, and with buckles instead of hooks.
You can use an original (a bit collectable and spendy) or just order a new production one on Ebay from the Starlight Drum folks.
Starlight actually owns an ORIGINAL WWII Web Gear Factory, and is now using it to build an ever better version of the M1923 Sling. By using post war thickness webbing with a nubby weave, it stays on the arm extremely well - and once you learn how to adjust it properly, it is just as good, and as fast, as an M1907 - but does not stretch or crack like leather. Current price on the new ones is $59.00 plus shipping. (Originals are usually $150.00 and up)
If you need further info, do an search here and on CMP Forums for "M1923 Sling" and read! CC
