Here's something on Turner Slings that I posted on the 1903 Springfield Forum...

My rifle is sporting a new sling that Richard Turner made for my Rod Bayonet 1903. It's dead on accurate as to dimensions. Exactly 52" long like the originals. He even coated the brass parts with an original type finish that was used. I don't think that anyone else is currently making early correct type slings for the Rod Bayonet 1903 Springfield rifles. These slings would also have been used on the very first updated 1903's that were still in the original 30-03 caliber as well as those that were coming off of the line around 1906 and maybe even 1907 for a time.
This sling is unmatched in Quality in every way! If you are wanting the best sling as well as the most Historicly Accurate sling for your collectable rifle, you should get a Turner Sling. You'll be glad you did.

I have two Les Tam NM slings. I trade those out on my match rifles, I never shoot more than three guns usually the M-1, 03, and M1898. I have some of his "issue" slings which he discourages for match use and yes they are really too soft. I have all my old slings I used back in the day like Hunter brand, one or two Freelands sold, nothing can compare with the Tam tho I have not tried the Turners. I understand there is a long wait for Tam slings now.

There is a break in period on Tam slings.

I have a couple of old GI slings I use in three gun to polish my image of a fat old fart using old timey stuff like the M-1A, an AR with a Leupold, 97 Chinchester trench, etc. basically ok to use as carrying straps, but not for position. Surplus stores in the 60's had barrels of ww2 surplus slings you could buy for nothing. Quite frequently they were rotten and "the sling broke!" was a common alibi in NRA highpower rapid fire.
