Sgt. Saunders Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi, what would be a desirable era sling for an M3/3A1? Would this be the same as a WWII M1 Carbine sling w/ tin D clips and snaps marked Klikit? How about those post war slings w/ the MRT markings...TIA gentlemen!!

The grease gun uses the M1 carbine sling---so if its a M3 it would have been issued with whatever a carbine had in 1944. If its a M3A1 then it would have been issued with whatever a carbine had in 1945. If it is a Ithaca M3A1, then whatever a carbine had in 1955. Best to check with a carbine specialist on this. A Viet Nam bringback gun might have had a nylon sling, but that would be a replacement. How are you and your M3 getting along? Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
