cafemondo Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Found this sling, can anyone identify it? Its listed as British Marines issue small arms but cant find any more info anywhere on it. Thanks for any help Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'd point you in the direction of the L1a1, though i could be wrong Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Thanks for the suggestion but theyre not the same. Found these for the L1A1, not the same, the clasp is different and theres buckles and a catch on the one Ive seen. Link to post Share on other sites
COXY Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Found this, looks like its for an L42 ....... http://www.bdlltd.com/L42_sling_2005.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew March Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Looks like an IDF Light Machine Gunners sling to me. Link to post Share on other sites
cafemondo Posted December 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Nope Ive got Israeli Defence Force slings and theyre not even in the same league quality wise as these. $150 a throw on the bdlltd.com site, wtf? Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Firstly, they've had to import it from the UK. Secondly, its the issue sling for an L96 "aparently". The first point adds a few quid, the second will make it worth that much to some people. Who, I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 i will pipe up saying its an L96 sling too. just an educated guess though, after seeing a real one recently Link to post Share on other sites
