Military Sling

[BOBinWA]

I need a military rifle sling for an upcoming Apple Seed course and was wondering if anyone makes one out of nylon? The old loop style, not the newer tactical kind. Thanks. Bob

I've never seen one made of nylon. I'd expect it to be quite difficult to get the adjustment hook system adapted to nylon. Having used leather and nylon slings I will share with you that the stability of leather is never quite as good with nylon.

First time poster, but have lurked for a bit. I have done an Appleseed shoot with my son, it was great and we learned alot as beginners. Their recommended slings are styled after the old M1 Garand USGI slings. If you go to amazon and search GI Sling, or M1 sling, they will show up. You will also need a set of sling swivels to attach to. The Uncle Mike's ones will probably show up in the same search.

Have fun!

I believe magpul may make one.

Sinclair offers one made of a product they call Biothane. Looks like leather, but totally weatherproof. Grips your arm very well, has the brass hooks just like the military sling of 1907, set your loop to the right length, put your arm in and slide the keepers tight and shoot. It is heavy, if that matters to you.
