anjong-ni Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 But don't "unbend" it. Might have been twisted over by some GI to make it more comfortable to carry. Possibly by one of us strange left-handed ones... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndArmored Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 Is it possible the sling got snagged hard on something, e.g. a stake panel wall on vehicle as the soldier is jumping off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51 Posted September 20 Author Report Share Posted September 20 Odd, as it doesn't show any signs of stretching like you'd think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurencen Posted September 20 Report Share Posted September 20 look at the wood just below the left screw and note the dark indent where the swivel wouhd contacted the wood prior to twisting, at least thats what I figure made the indent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
