L1A1 Pattern Rifle Sling
This tan web sling from United Defense is made for the L1A1, the British and Commonwealth semi-automatic version of the FN FAL rifle, often called the SLR. It follows the classic military pattern: a single length of thick woven webbing with brass fittings riveted to each end. It suits L1A1 owners who want a period-correct carry strap and collectors finishing out a Commonwealth rifle.
Features
- Sized For The L1A1 — The sling is built for the British and Commonwealth FAL-pattern rifle and its standard sling swivels.
- Tan Woven Webbing — Thick, tightly woven strap material in a tan shade, with rolled edges that sit comfortably on the shoulder.
- Brass End Fittings — Both ends are finished in folded brass tips, so the webbing cannot fray where it meets the hardware.
- Twin Rivet Attachment — Each brass tip is held to the webbing by two rivets rather than stitching alone.
- Double Hook End — One fitting carries a pair of open brass hooks that latch back onto the sling to secure it at the swivel.
- Bar Loop End — The opposite fitting has a brass wire loop that the strap feeds through when you mount it on the rifle.
- Period Stamped Tip — A brass tip is stamped "M.E.Co 1913" in the style of early British web equipment makers.
- Simple Design — There are no buckles, plastic parts or quick-detach hardware, so the sling stays true to the military pattern.
Build and Fit
The strap is a dense woven webbing with a soft, slightly textured face and rolled edges. The brass tips are folded over the strap ends and riveted through, with one end hooked and the other looped. This is a commercially made sling from United Defense, not military surplus, so it arrives as new production in the traditional pattern.

Worth the weeks of homeworkI read up on this sling before I pulled the trigger and it paid off. The tan canvas is seriously heavy the brass fittings and rivets are clean and the sliding keeper adjusts smooth on my FAL build which measures out just like the description says.

Dependable Sling For My FALThis tan canvas sling feels really sturdy and the brass parts are nice and shiny. It fits my rifle good and stays put during use.

Good sling for the moneyI dont usually write reviews but figured id throw one up since I almost went with that other brand thats twice the price. The heavyweight cotton canvas feels sturdy and the brass end fittings look like theyll hold up fine on my FAL build. Sliding keeper took me a second to figure out which direction it goes but once its set it stays put. Good value for a college kid on a budget honestly.
Shipped fast and came in a plain plastic bag, no complaints there.

A proper canvas sling that doesnt cost a fortuneIve been through like 4 different slings for my L1A1 build. The cheap nylon ones are okay but they just look wrong on a classic rifle. This one is the real deal. Heavyweight canvas, solid brass fittings, and the tan is pretty close to the original British ones Ive seen (maybe a hair lighter but itll darken with use). The stitching is straight and the rivets are set properly, no wierd loose threads. Only nitpick is the keeper was super stiff out of the box, had to work it back and forth a bunch to get it to slide smooth. But honestly thats better than it being loose. Mounted right up to my swivels with no fuss. For the price compared to some surplus originals that are all dry rotted, this is a no brainer. Came in a plain plastic bag, nothing fancy but it got here quick.
Heavyweight canvas feels durable
Solid brass hardware, not plated junk
Period-correct look for FAL/Enfield buildsVery stiff at first, needed breaking in
