Mystery Sling and Cleaning Kits

[mmattockx]

In sorting through some of my gun stuff today I came across a mystery sling and two mystery cleaning kits. The sling was sealed in an unmarked plastic bag and the cleaning kits were as you see them here. Any help with identifying them would be appreciated.

Early MP5 sling??

Early MP5 sling??

It is most likely something i got with a milsurp rifle. I've never been near anything MP5, so that seems unlikely, but you never know. I have no recollection of it at all and most of my milsurps were bought well over a decade ago, so the memory is hazy at best.

Not sure but 1st kit ivi tavor 2nd kit norinco ar15
But just guesses.

That sling is definitely HK-compatible, if not an actual HK 3-point Sling. The snap-hook for the front sling mount and the steel slider buckle are dead give-aways....

I've never had anything to do with a Tavor, but I do have a Norc CQ-A AR, so that solves one of them.

I'm wondering if that also came with the Norc CQ-A. The material is nylon web, so it is much more modern than most of my milsurp rifles. They typically have cotton webbing or leather for their slings. Where would I find some pics of how to rig it?

I can’t tell but if that sling has velcro on one end then it’s the same as my cq-a sling. The bottom cleaning kit looks also like the one thar shipped with the Norinco cq-a

These guys nailed it, they are both from the Norc CQ-A. The early ones came with imitation HK style slings. There should be videos on YouTube or similar on how to set them up.

Sling looks like the ones that came with the first import of FAMAE rifles. First cleaning kit (canvas bag) is from a cz58/cz858, looks like it has the muzzle thread protector as well, usually there will also be a thread on muzzle bore guide. Second kit is norinco, likely from a CQ-A, but also possibly from one of the M14 clones.

It does have velcro to capture the loose tail on the one end, so that's a wrap for sure.

I will see what youtube has to say about setting up the sling.

And another winner. I have a vz58 in the safe that this would match to.

Thanks for the help, gentlemen. I will have to start labelling these things to help with the leaky memory.

Ziplock bags and sharpies are great for keeping things together and labelled. Especially for small parts like screws, springs and accessories.

Here’s Karl’s take on slings including the 3 point from inrangetv

That's how I label parts in the garage and lots of other stuff. Apparently I am going to have to start doing it with mystery gun parts as well...

Thanks for the video, I will have a watch.

I vaguely remember the Type 97 coming with a really funky sling that I tossed away in frustration after failing to interpret it.

I have exactly the same sling. It is Norinco ar15. I have no idea how to put it on gun.

After watching a couple videos I never even bothered trying to sort it out. A quick adjust 2 part sling is the correct answer for this problem.
