tor,

I am not aware of a sling made specifically for the UD-M42.

The UD42 had a sling similar to the Thompson NOBUCKL sling, however, it is different in thickness. I have one. Will try and post a picture of it later for the boards.

billie32,

That looks like an M1917 sling, in my opinion. Are there any differentiators you are aware of that would identify it as a sling made specifically for the UD-M42?
