    I would not be upset with SARCO at all . I did not see them listing the sling as a correct issued Bren sling . Any one buying parts should all ways ask if it a reproduction , they will tell you up front if it is or not . In all of my years in dealing with them only once they sold some thing to me that was listed as original and found to be a new made item and when I contacted them they fully refunded me the purchase cost and shipping both ways . They quickly corrected their internet listing and the print ad to indicate it was a new made item .

    Not at all. I buy from SARCO all the time, it’s just that I’ve known Cholly Steen for decades and therefore I buy with my eyes open. They don’t try and hide that many items are reproductions, but they are not overly forthcoming either. It’s not a problem if you know what what you’re buying.
