Model 1903 Sling

Betelgeuse, Im bidding on the 2nd sling that you have links for. I hope you guys don't run it up and make me spend a lot of money. Crap. I'll just go all out and win it I guess, whatever I have to pay for it. I just want one nice one for my rifle.

I like that one too, but I'll let you have it
I'll try for the 4 that ends a couple hours after this one. One of the 4 has the right date for my rifle. I'll just take that one and sell the rest.
Good luck,
Greg

My wife had be out doing things that she just couldn't do alone today and I missed out on the sling! Dammit all to hell. Women and guns just don't go together. I'm not going to budge any more from in front of the Computer from now on until MY business is done. Hey, Thanks anyway betelguese! You were kind and considerate. Appreciate that!

One thing to keep in mind with these early leather slings is that they dry out and break sometimes quite easily. It's not a good idea to pick up a rifle by it's sling. I have seen them break right in half, usually at a set of adjustment holes. If it breaks and the rifle falls, you will probably be very unhappy. The slings should be treated with a good leather care product, such as PECARD.

YES, Pecard Antique Leather Conditioner is the only thing that I will use. NEVER use Neats foot oil.
