..........TGIF........

I managed to get 100 of the Syntex slings back in 2005 or so when they produced the last big batch for the MoD. They are the exact same part number and the earlier batch did overlap for a while when the L42 was being withdrawn from service and replaced by the L96. They are different than the AW sling which is issued with the L117 and L118. Syntex were happy to do it for me as they were making them anyhow. I just paid them directly and they were shipped straight here to South Carolina. I'm down to a couple left and I also think they're a far superior sling to the heavy, British made, wide nylon variant. One resides on one of my L42's to this day.

There was a time I would have added that repro to my shooter in a heart beat.

I meant to say L115, (.338 LM), and L118, (7.62).
