M1 Carbine Sling ?

**imntxs554** · 10-12-2019 03:01 AM

Can anyone PLEASE help me out with these last few Slings I found in my Storage if there Legit WW2 or Late Korean era ones ? I'm building my Last Carbine and I don't want to list anything that's questionable or fake. Thank You for Your Time.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

They look authentic WW2 to me.

Web looks good to me also.
Hard to compare the Keepers from the pictures.
Some appear Wide, Narrow and 1 or 2 may be round.
Are any of the middle bars on the Keepers marked inside?

**jimb16** · 10-12-2019 11:15 PM

I agree. They all look ok to me too.

I know, but can't remember it right now. I'm up too late I guess! I've got one of those and have notes on it - I'll look it up tomorrow, but it may be late in the day. Someone else will probably respond by then! Sorry. - Bob

I believe that the D-tip slings that have the Keeper (Buckle) marked with a W in a circle are reproduction carbine slings. Can't seem to find where I read this, but I own a few of them that I have always considered to be reproduction.

I seem to recall that the info on those "repro" slings was in a Carbine Club news letter. I could be wrong.
