Appropriate sling? (Read 3016 times)

	I am thinking of getting a 1907 Springfield pattern leather sling for my Krag. Would this be out of place? Thanks, in advance.

	Not sure what you mean by "Pattern", but I have a 1907 on my 1898... totally appropriate.

	I think by 'pattern' they mean repro.

	I've seen many with the 1907 sling. Personalty I like the Trap door, or 1873? sling or a Mills tropical sling. I would say a Kerr Nubuckle is also appropriate. Original slings are great for display but for range, I want new leather. I have seen old leather fail causing damage to the rifle. You can get a repro 1873 for $25 and it's well made with original style marking. The repro Mills and Kerrs I have are nice enough for range work.

	"Pattern" is British Nomenclature for Model, as in "Pattern 1853 Enfield Rifle" or "Pattern 1888 Lee-Metford Bayonet".� A "sealed pattern" or officially accepted example of a piece of military equipment (with seal attached)� was kept in the Pattern Room.� This served as a reference piece to guide uniformity in manufacture.
