Marines in Bougainville

[frankderrico]

He has adopted a leather M1 rifle sling on his carbine. I don't know how he managed to put the oiler in the sling-well. He may have used something like a wooden dowel or steel rod. He still would have had to open it up because of the thickness of the leather.

Good eye on the sling. Like you said, opened up the slingwell to accept the thickness of the leather sling. Surprised that they were using leather slings in Bougainville, especially on a carbine. Kinda wet for that. Cheers, Bruce.
