I pulled this pic off the "Real Deal" sticky thread and turned it into my avatar. I love the pic because: 1) the guy's expression and stance are a hoot, and 2) I like his improvised sling set-up.

Check out this Vietnam-vintage single point sling:



Get two carabiners, some electrical tape and a short length of rope and you are in business!

Is the sling passing through the carry handle?

that pic is amazingly clear if it is a true pic from back in the day.

That's a pic of either an F Company or L Company LRP/Ranger of the 101st from 1969.  Somebody must have had a bang-up camera because I've seen a few photos of those guys that are really clear, like that one.

I think I see the end of an M1 sling hanging below his belt line!
