Real US Military canvas web slings, post WWII through the 1970’s of the type used on every military service rifle of the era (Does NOT work with the M1 Carbine). These were sold surplus from Anniston Army Depot in the 1980's and had been forgotten in the back inventory of a surplus shop since then until I bought them out after the store closed.
These are our #2 grade ones, in rougher shape, if you want nicer shape ones see our other listings. These all will be usable slings, but may have very dirty webbing, rusty hardware or rust stains on the webbing, webbing that has minor nicks or damage or any combination of some or all of those. No cherry picking, I grab them off the top aside from rejecting any that are missing parts or damaged to the point they can't be used.
Photos show typical examples and not necessarily the exact ones you will get, last picture shows just some of the large stock we are pulling these from.
Some have manufacturers markings, some don’t, some have rifle/butt numbers on labels on the hardware. All are just as they were when removed from the rifles 50+ years ago. I’m actually untying the bundles of 25 that were tied at Anniston Army Depot before these were stored and then sold.
They smell like an old supply room, that unmistakable canvas smell. Canvas web body with brass tips on the end and steel buckles.
If you want a perfect one for a display rifle, these are not it. These are the ones that are more salty and worn, and if you want that look just put it on and go or you can clean them up and make them look very nice with a little elbow grease.
As I have time I will also list some that are cleaned up and have any rust or patina cleaned from the metal, so check my other listings, but those also will be more expensive.
You get one sling per item, multiples are shown to give examples of condition.
ONCE AGAIN, THESE ARE OUR #2 GRADE SLINGS THAT ALL ARE USABLE HAVE SOME COMBIANTION OF DIRT, RUST AND WEAR.
