Just right for my Model 1917 30-06 (2016-10-31)
The metal hardware is lighter weight than the sling this reproduction replaces, but it's not bad. Some recommendations on how to finish the leather would be nice. As would a simple diagram on installation (however there are a couple of youtube videos that are easy to follow).

Sturdy (2013-03-08)
I recommend this sling to anyone that will be using it in competition. It''s almost as sturdy as the rubber Turner Saddlery slings. Far stronger than the Turner classic leather slings.

One minor mistake (2012-03-19)
For the 1910 date stamped on the sling the black, parkerized finish on the frogs (AKA hooks) is incorrect. They were natural brass from initial production through the middle of WWII when the parkarized frogs went into production. Again, this is a very minor detail.

Of more trouble was a whiteish waxy subtance that covers the leather and has proven difficult to remove.

A huge improvement to the product would be do include instructions both on how to remove that waxy coating and how to properly set up what is a rather complicated sling.
