Type 30 Arisaka

[Aragorn243]

I had an adventure getting a sling. I don't have an issue with repro slings so that is the direction I went. IMA had one on ebay that looked good and was priced right, only trouble was it had black fittings. But I had one with brass fittings on my 38 so I swapped that out.

Sling arrived quickly, open it up and it's a freaking VZ24 sling with Japanese marks stamped on it. I had seen these on ebay too and wondered about them as I doubt very much that Japan ever used them and they most certainly wouldn't be making them and marking them. I sent an e-mail out Sunday evening and had a reply Monday afternoon and the new sling was shipped Tuesday. They shipped the correct one this time along with a pre-printed, pre-postage stamped envelope. I was very pleased with how they handled this. No real questions, (other than wanting to know who packed it) and no hesitation to make it right.
