    Identify this sling please

    Anyone know the skinny on this sling. Looks to be common canvas web with Garand type keeper but has a loop on one end.
    I have just never run across one like it before
    Thanks guys

    I'm thinking an M14E2 sling, but I can't recall if there is a loop or not.

    BINGO! Just looked at my sling. Hook goes in the "bipod" swivel or "hand grip" swivel, big loop through rear swivel where, say on a Garand, it would normally go. Google, M14E2 web sling and check out the pictures. I saw at least three ways to hook it up! Go to the CMP Forum and then the M1A/M14 section and look at the "sticky" M14E2/M14A1 Pictures thread......many sling pictures.

    Mine is hooked in the fore grip swivel like the diagram that came with it (according to "Fred's")........or apparently any of three other ways........assuming I am right about the sling in the first place!
