I am in the process of recreating a facsimile of the M16A1 I carried in the ARNG from 1989-1993. I bought a parts kit from Centerfire Systems to start, and have the upper completed. Waiting on NoDak Spud for the lower to be available again.
Anyway, I found a pic of myself with my rifle, and it appears to confirm that I thought I remembered my rifle having a nylon / "seat belt" sling. Anyone have a good source for these? I already have several silent slings. Thanks.
Sherluk or Sarco
Only place I saw in stock and unissued.

Maybe scan the pic and post just the sling part of it here so we can see it.Quote:

Guys the colemans sling is not the vietnam era "seatbelt" sling. Different material and weave of nylon. The "seatbelt" sling is slick and brown in color. The colemans slings are post-Vietnam.... and might be exactly what the OP had when he was in 89-93.
OP here. I went to the CMP Talladega range in June, and they said they had some at the CMP South Store in Anniston, just not enough to list on their online sales page. Luckily, they're only about 100 miles away, so I'll try to go by there soon and get one. Thanks for all the replies.
I dont know you are still looking or not, but I recommend you to check on couponcodfiy, my hubby bought himself from there, you need to check there hope you will find easily.
