These basic slings can be found on EBay and various other .mil surplus sites. Basically a strip of nylon and two steel tri-glide/H-buckle keepers. I recall someone saying that later production substituted plastic tri-glides in place of steel. Anybody know if that's the case? All the ones I've seen so far have been steel.

They are metal still. Just remember there are two different ones. The 54" is for the m16 and 74" is for the m4 carbine.
