Un-holey M1907 Sling.....
This afternoon while looking into my gun safe as I waited for a Mosin barrel to finish soaking, I noticed something I probably should have picked up on earlier but didn't...
In the photo below you see on the left my 1908 Rock Island M1903 wearing a Rock Island 1917 M1907 sling.
The rifle in the center is my 1918 receivered Springfield M1903 with an SA 1942 dated barrel wearing an unmarked M1907 sling.
Note the dearth of holes on the short strap of the sling on the 1918 Springfield - is this a WW2 production variation to get more out the factory door faster?
I've owned a few M1907 slings over the years but only noticed the lack of holes on this one...
