    Reproduction web sniper sling No.4 T Enfield ?

    Has anyone purchased a reproduction Britishicon Enfield T sniper Experimental Web sling DD (E) 3543 ? The sling is listed in Peter Laidlericon's book AN ARMORY's PERSPECTIVE : .303 No.4 (T) SNIPER RIFLE and THE HOLLAND and HOLLAND CONNECTION . On page 42 ,Perter shows the sling and describes the construction as a possible replacement for the American leather sling as used during the war and post war. There is a vendor MFI located at 2215 Via Dulcea , Fallbrook ,Ca. 92028 . That makes a reproduction that appears to be made very nicely .

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    They were made in great numbers by the Mills Equipment Company (MECO) and can often be found on specialist gun sites like Gun Broker and others so a good tip if you want one is to firstly advertise on this site as someone might surprise you, and have a trawl round if it doesn't yield any for you.

    I've been looking for one for years without any luck.

    I used to collect a lot of Britishicon and US militaira back in the 90's (mostly sold now) and still know a lot of UK dealers, so have a long standing "if you get one in let me know" with many of them.......but without any luck so far.

    Geeram,
    I think if I wanted one that desperately, I would buy the components which might be several canvas slings on fleabay, and make one up myself. The company I was thinking of was DB Militaria, have you tried them:

    A neat item. In my opinion, the stitching, which appears hand done, could use reinforcement.

    I know a guy who has one and likes it. Think he paid around $100+ for it, I think he said it close to the last one the guy had in stock. I will look for a picture he posted.
    MJ, don't take this personally, but that's crap.

    I just ordered a weathered one last night. Shipping and sales tax it came to $83.67.
    I'm assembling two rifles with new barrels a '47 MkII 7.62X51 and a '45 #4T it should work on one of them.

    Sling showed up today. The hooks are a bit thinner than a regular #4 sling but I'll use it. I have a rifle hung by it to pull the wrinkles out .

    Cheers
