ID a sling

[BrotherRockeye]

Got this in a goody box with a bunch of Imperial 303 British ammo.
Looks military to me so I came to you folks first.
Curious what it belongs to.
It green with brass riveted ends, not whatever color my crappy old camera made it.
No markings that I can see.
Anyone recognize it?
Thanks.

Oh, I agree, except with the "Bubba's best." I have seen some pretty good "Bubbas" over the last 60 years, and this one is not even in the top 100.

That was my first thought too...how would you install that? I actually went back to the pic and checked if one of the screws was left hand thread.

Lol, you would have to pre twist it in the opposite direction in order to screw in the other end.

It was probably fitted to the screw eyes 'in situ'.

The first thing I thought was, "how did they get the sling off?" lol

Looked at some pics and it appears I just have to open the ends up to release the studs and have it original again.

Bubba sling aside, I just learned that there is a bayonet and sheath yet to come. Sure hope it's not a victim too...

Thanks for the replies folks.
