Description

New WWII pattern M1907 pattern leather slings for M1903 and M-1 Rifles. This product is a reproduction of the slings made during WWII- meaning they have steel rather than brass hardware like those made in WWI.

ATF starts with the finest 8 oz. cowhide available, strap cut it to 1.25" (3,1cm), hot-oil it by hand, crease the straps, then cut the holes with gang dies. Sewn with linen thread. The leather is thick yet supple and the color is the correct light russet tan of an unissued original.

This will fit any weapon with 1.25" (3,1cm) sling retaining loops.
Marked "Kirkman 1942".

About Leather Color
ATF has had quite a few complaints over their "white leather gear"- slings or holsters. Do understand that also originals started out very, very light tan. The dark chocolate or mahogany brown color of used originals is the result of heavy use, exposure, oil and in some cases, dye or polish applied by the soldiers. ATF's slings will darken that same way. It just takes a bit of time & effort. Using Neetsfoot oil helps to condition and waterproof leather. It's a common product used on many outdoor leather products- such as fieldgear, holsters, work boots, saddles, tack, etc, etc..
