    carbine sling

    I have the opportunity to purchase a ww2 m1 carbine sling. I noticed that it does not have the snap near the top of the sling. is this normal or a fake?
    Thanks,
    Wendall.

    Can you post photos. Every M1 carbine sling I have has a" lift the dot" type snap at one end.

      Not sure if the snap was never there or if it is just missing.

        Looks like a Vietnam era nylon carbine sling. A lot of the M1 Carbines imported from Korea had a green nylon sling like yours but it was stamped with Korean letters.

          The guy selling it claimed it was from Okinawa. Thanks for keeping me from making a bad buying decision.
          Now I just need to find a real ww2 era one...

          Thanks so much!

            Looks like the sling that accompanied a lot of the Blue Sky carbines back in the '80's.

              Post a "want to buy" here on the forum. I bet one of the members could hook you up.

                definatly not WWII , it looks to be nylon seat belt type sling
                A very good c -tip WWII sling will set you back $90-$100

                    If in very good condition with no frays or holes you bought it under market value, congrats

                      Has some minor stains but no holes or frays. I am happy with it.
