Garand Sling?

**Amatikulu** · 07-17-2011 05:23 PM

I came across this in one of my box of bits and pieces. It would seem to be a garand sling made with steel fittings. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

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.

Is the web made of nylon? I'm only familiar with the garand slings ups to just post WWII. I'll bet Bill Ricca knows exactly what it is and everything about it.

**Amatikulu** · 07-17-2011 07:32 PM

Yup, it's nylon material.

If it's nylon, I think that makes it M14 icon

**Harlan (Deceased)** · 07-17-2011 08:00 PM

I didn't even think of that Jim. Bet it is.

**browningautorifle** · 07-17-2011 08:50 PM

It's sure seen better days though! No tip left er' nuthin...

The slick material makes me think early M16 icon

, but it's all roughly the same time period.

**browningautorifle** · 07-18-2011 10:05 AM

Agreed, I think it was just a matter of holding them over to the next weapon. Definitely also early M16. You could probably find guys that would swear they were issued oniy canvas slings for their M14 icon

/M16 , and tough shape
