    I know it’s a bit off topic, but does anyone know which version of this sling was standard issue in 1934-35? I’ve been told it is the version with brass hooks, but I cannot recall for certain, nor find a source to confirm.

    I wish I had found this earlier. Just about had it together, only to find one of my keepers has gone AWOL. Probably ticked at me for not figuring this out earlier ;P

    Meanwhile, how can I get just a keeper or what is out there that would do the job?

    Thanks in advance for the help. If no comments, will go and find a bootmaker/repair shop in my area.

    Member MajDave at the CMP Forum gave me a solution that worked for me. I loosened the lower butt plate bolt and removed the rear swivel to thread the hooks through, then reinstalled. I now have a very nice M-1907 sling installed on my Garand just as shown here.

    I got a really nice sling from World War Supply, very nice looking and nice leather smell, but the hooks are too thick to fit through the rear swivel of my CMP Garand. Either the swivel is bent too far forward, the GI Birch stock is too thick in the heel area, or World War Supply uses too thick of leather, or some combination of the three?

    I did get it on the rifle backwards, short loop through the front swivel where it fits through, but it won’t work for a shooting aid except maybe as a hasty sling. I thought of trying to freeze the short strap to see if the hook would shrink , but then it would be stuck on the rifle.

    Any ideas of a fix? Maybe the swivel is bent too far forward, and could be bent back to open up room?

      Mark,
      I’ll forward your question onto our Armorers to see if they have any suggestions.
      Thanks,
      Christine

    Thank you very easy to follow. I also bought the same Turner Saddlery sling shown in the photos.

    Great! I wish it would also show how to use it for prone or sitting.
