Don't know how else to describe it.

Mine had a metal clip that was clip on the sling swivel on the butt of the rifle and the other end looped through the barrel rifle sling and was held in place by a metal buckle.

Thanks.

Most people call them the M1 sling. You can still buy them used, or sometimes new. I think RRA might have some in black.

AR0138 CMP Black Nylon Sling is 14 bucks.

I'm not a fan of nylon slings. If you don't mind OD green and buying surplus. The canvas slings are much better. You'd have to search for them though. I don't know were to get nice ones anymore.

Here's a black one that says it's canvas. I know nothing more than what the site says.

I know which sling you're talking about. I've seen them cropped up at various gun show's military surplus sellers or at various Army Navy surplus store. Not as often as they used to be.

Thanks. I our arms room (years ago) we had a footlocker full of them. Should have checked out a few.

Just received OD cotton M1 sling from CMP with the hardware just as you described. Cost was $9 and some change. Shipping was $6 and some change. Received through USPS in about a week.

This would be a correct battle sling for a 1970s era M16. They used M14 slings since they were plentiful. I use these on my M16 clone builds. These are used USGI M14 slings and the color ranges from OD green to a brownish color. They are great for any retro AR.
