M1 Garand Leather Sling

M1907 Pattern Leather Sling

This Mil-Tec sling reproduces the M1907 pattern, the leather sling paired with the M1 Garand and other US service rifles of its era. It carries the rifle on the shoulder, and it can also be set up as a shooting sling, with a loop around the support arm to steady your aim. It suits Garand owners who want correct-looking leather on the rifle, and collectors and reenactors finishing a period setup.

Features

• Tan Leather Strap — The strap is cut from leather in a tan-brown finish with dark-stained edges, matching the look of the original pattern.
• M1907 Pattern Layout — It follows the historic design, which uses hooks, keepers and punched holes in place of a modern buckle or slider.
• Double-Hook Fittings — Black metal hooks, sometimes called frogs, have two prongs that lock into the punched holes to set the sling length.
• Riveted Hardware — Each hook is fixed to the leather with rivets so the fitting stays in place under load.
• Paired Adjustment Holes — Rows of double holes along the strap give a range of length settings for carry or for shooting.
• Two Leather Keepers — Sliding leather loops hold the free end of the strap flat against the sling so it does not flap.
• Metal End Loop — A black metal loop at the far end connects the sections of the sling together.
• Loop Sling Capable — The design lets you form an arm loop, the traditional marksmanship method of tightening the sling around the upper arm for a steadier hold.

Fit And Construction

The sling is built for the M1 Garand and attaches to the rifle's sling swivels in the traditional M1907 manner. Mil-Tec makes it as a new reproduction, not as issued surplus, so the leather and black hardware arrive in fresh condition. Expect the leather to stiffen or soften with use, as any leather sling does.
