    I bought a few of them from WPG . They looked to have good web material . The rivets were not " right " and did not fill the holes correctly , but they have never failed. My problem with them is the "hook" metal is not strong enough and can deform with use. I did not test them enough before buying a dozen or so. I am prob'ly going to gather them up and sell them at a discount to fund the web slings. They are good for display and light usage . I'll prob'ly also sell a few of the 30-50 original 1917 , 1903 ,and M3 Kerrs I have , don't need this many.

    HOLY COW, Chris!, no wonder I couldn't find any originals when I was looking - YOU have all of them!

    You sure won't have any trouble selling them when you get ready!
