Opie Taylor Spotted With C Tip Sling

[painter777]

Season 1, Episode 1 of the Andy Griffin Show. Titled: The New Housekeeper, 1st aired October 3, 1960. When Aunt Bea 1st comes to stay and care for Opie and Andy.

I seen it the other night and spied Opie's clever use of a M1 Carbine C Tip Sling. I found the episode today but couldn't catch a screen shot. Best I could do was get a couple pictures off of my laptop using my phone.

To set the scene Andy was washing the patrol car as Opie strolled up coming home from school. In maybe a 1/4 frame you caught a glimpse of the Sling snapped around the handle of his lunch box strewn over his shoulder. That was impossible to stop and get a pic of.

These are the best 2 pictures out of the bunch. Their grainy and we'll never know if the Sling was OD green or Khaki, But it is indeed a C Tip.
