Anyone know where to find An M1907 sling in Canada? Looking for one in new or like new condition; I was looking on the turner website and seem like there are different sizes. I would like one that will work fit a standard Springfield M1A rifle. Any help is appreciated!
 
Wholesale Sport has them, they're thinner than originals.

What kind on M1907 sling are you looking for? Original? Reproduction? Commercial Copy? WWI or WWII? Cheap? For an M1A rifle you can't go wrong with Turner's standard M1907 sling.

Think new reproduction is what I'm after, that one on the Marstars link looks like it may be a winner. Are there any dealers that carry the Turner sling in Canada?

Thanks for links appriciate the help!
 
I've picked mine up from various sources, both with black steel or brass hardware. Ebay usually has a decent selection and reasonable prices, I just ordered one for my M14 that came to $45 total.

I bought one from Marstar. Thin leather with inconsistent thickness, too thin in places. Not very supple leather either. IMO just plain cheap. Get a Turner Saddelry, you won't go wrong and have a very good sling.

Good to know almost pulled the trigger on the one from Marstars. Which one do you use from Turner, the historical or national match, and if it the national match it has a list of different lengths what lenght one do you think is best?
 
When I bought my Turner Saddlery slings, the nice lady on the other end of the phone suggested a 48" for shooting an AR15 in NM configuration and a 52" for the M14. That's all I can remember. I'm 5'6" and not that tall with shorter arms (medium jacket) and that 52" works for me.

I selected the biothane version since I like the modern high tech look/feel/ adjustability. My sling is in TAN, which allows me to write (Black Sharpie) my settings on the sling, nearest the holes.

For those who have attended my clinics, I advocate 2 settings: One for 'show' and one for 'wear'. The show setting is nice and tight for our PPCLI Depot Friday morning inspections.

The "wear" setting is for American Hunter rifle sling carry (strong hand shoulder) which is long / adjusted long enough for a hasty sling.

Remember all the while, the loop in the forward strap is already adjusted for prone position "match" shooting. Lots and lots of vids on youTube to achieve this adjustment!!

Hope all this clears things up. I realize that this legendary sling can be overly complicated but once it's setup, you are good to go for LIFE! :)

Cheers all, :wave:
