Sgt Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I was looking at a Combat re-run and noticed how low Sgt Saunders carries his 1928, slinged across shoulder. It might be my imagination, but I don't think my slings are that long, even when buckled at maximum length. Did they make longer slings for Thompsons, or is this just a Hollywood made sling, or am I just imagining it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gijive Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 Sgt, It's an original Kerr sling, not the M3 type made specifically during WWII for the Thompson. The original Kerr slings are a few inches longer. See the post about reproduction slings and Gunner's post for additional information. Frank's book also covers this topic very well.
