Should I Have Passed On This Inland?

already tried pounding (mutilating) the sling

I don't understand what the worry about that Uncle Mikes sling is. It's a commonly available sling, Brownells retails them. I'd cut it and be away with it, then you can put the correct one on. Cut it across the back side of the oiler and it'll come away clean.

Jim: Don't know if you've bought one lately but they're not US made now - don't think they have been for a long time. The last good one I had was for a Mini-30 about 20 years ago. Right now, I feel like I should leave this one on there - wish I had new keepers for it, though. This one isn't marked "Uncle Mikes" anywhere on it like the one I had before, but both hooks are marked: JAPAN. Not sure if you're suggesting I put on a leather sling (would have to be a thinner one) or a WWII sling? As you probably know, they're not commonly available anymore! - Bob

a WWII sling

The proper sling, I know someone here must have one spare. As for the leather one, I've cut more than a couple off just because it was easier than trying to wrestle with it. It's a one inch military style is all. Nothing you couldn't live without I'm sure...

This is what it looked like... https://www.brownells.com/shooting-a...prod25729.aspx
