French Leather MAT Sling - Tan
The French Leather MAT Sling in tan is genuine French military surplus, originally issued for the MAT-49 submachine gun that armed French forces from Indochina through Algeria and into the final years of the Cold War. Cut from full leather with steel hook hardware and a traditional buckle adjustment, it carries the look and feel of authentic field-issue equipment. The sling also fits the MAS 49 and MAS 49/56 service rifles, making it a practical choice for collectors running multiple French platforms. A solid pickup for MAT-49 owners, MAS rifle shooters, reenactors, and anyone building out a period-correct French loadout.

Perfect Fit for My MAT-49 BuildBeen looking for a proper leather sling for my MAT-49 project for a while and this tan one is EXACTLY what I needed. The swiveling spring clips snapped right onto the sling swivels with no fuss at all and the tan color looks dead-on period correct. Only thing I'll say is it came pretty stiff out of the box, took me a weekend of working some neatsfoot oil into it before it loosened up nicely. But honestly that's just leather being leather and once it broke in it feels solid and looks great hanging on the wall display.
Spring clips attach and detach really easily
Tan color looks authentic and ages beautifullyArrives quite stiff, needs conditioning before use
