HK G3 Leather Sling

Bundeswehr G3 Rifle Sling

This is the brown leather carry sling the German Army issued with the Heckler & Koch G3, the Bundeswehr's standard battle rifle for decades. It is a two-point sling, meaning it attaches at the front and rear of the rifle so the weapon hangs across your back or shoulder with your hands free. It suits G3 and HK91 owners who want the correct issue sling on their rifle, as well as collectors and reenactors building out a Bundeswehr kit.

Features

• Genuine German Army Issue — Each sling was pulled from Bundeswehr service rifles, so you get original military kit rather than an aftermarket copy.
• Heavy Leather Strap — Thick brown leather was chosen for military service, and the exact shade varies from one sling to the next.
• HK Snap Hook — A steel spring-gated hook at one end clips onto the HK-pattern sling loop and releases with a press of the gate.
• Steel Stud Fastener — The opposite end closes with a steel stud through a slotted hole, the traditional way of securing a leather sling.
• Sliding Adjustment Buckle — A metal keeper lets you shorten or lengthen the strap to carry high on the shoulder or slung lower.
• Adjustable Length — The sling measures about 39 in (100 cm) and extends to roughly 49 in (125 cm).
• Narrow Profile — At about 0.8 to 1 in (2 to 2.5 cm) wide, it threads through standard HK sling hardware.
• Lightweight Build — The complete sling weighs around 4.6 oz (130 g).

Fit And Compatibility

The sling was made for the G3 and fits the rifles that share its HK-pattern sling mounts, including the HK91, HK93, HK33 and PTR91. The snap hook goes on the front sling point and the stud end on the rear, or the reverse if you prefer. For a G3-pattern clone, this is the period-correct sling the German Army actually used.
