Ok, the old WW2 and korea were OD cotton.
Some Viet nam era were green nylon then they were black nylon when I went to boot in the 80s now they are green again Are the current ones nylon or cotton? They say the cotton was better for not slipping off the shoulder but I have zero first hand experience with them. I have an M1 and a 1903 that I would like the reproduction cotton type for and I wouldn't mind a new green issue one as one of my Colt's has a Colt shooting sling on it that is limiting. SoS |

CJ Weapons ( www.cjweapons.com/ ) has black cotton USGI slings in stock for $11.95. I ordered 3 on the evening of the 23rd and they arrived today.
www.cjweapons.com/aspcart45/prodetails.asp?prodid=396&start=1  FWIW, I had black when I went to boot camp in '84, have seen mixture of black and green ones appear from the supply system. I like Black on my EBR's, Green on my green AR-10, and Brown Leather on my 03's, M1 and M1A.  |
