US M1907 Leather Sling WWII M1 Garand Rifle Sling (Leather & Steel Harware)

Good quality and looks great on my rifle.

Excellent quality with nice thick leather

This was absolutely perfect for my WW2tribute item found amazing instruction on how to correctly install it on to the aforementioned item and it is absolutely perfect!! Will buy again

Good quality leather. Hooks seem ok. Doesn't fit standard hunting rifle sling swivels.

Perfect. Great quality

I have a couple other rifles with slings and it fit great! Kind of tight and getting it set up takes a bit but it works great looks good as well! Now the sling is new and will be a bit gappy as the leather is stiff but I set it up just like my other ones and works great!

Item as described, I’m happy with it.

Is this the highest quality leather sling you can purchase? No, however I found it good value for the cost. I have purchased two to date. When received I found the leather to be very stiff and difficult to work with when attaching to the rifle. It needs a little work before use. To soften up the sling, do the following. Locate a fixed object roughly 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter. I found the handicap rails fastened to the walls in my shower to work. Treating each of the two sling pieces individually, place a single piece of the sling around the fixed object (handicap rail in my case), rough side of the leather on the inside so it rubs against the fixed object. Grasp each end of the leather sling piece, one end in each hand, and pull it back and forth pulling tightly against the fixed object. The more you repeat this, the softer the leather will become. I found about 50 pulls back and forth to be optimal. Before attaching the sling to the rifle the leather needs to treated with a leather conditioner. This further softens the leather and helps preserve it. There are many leather conditioners on the market and any highly rated leather conditioner will work. I chose Turner Saddlery, Inc. Military Leather Dressing. It is applied by rubbing a light coating on the smooth side of the leather using your fingers or a soft lint free cloth.

It doesn't match the picture. There's no hyperbolic curve on the grapple. There is a feeling of being cheated.

Fabulous, well Made well Woth the money. And great shipping.
