This original Australian Army-issue webbing sling is a practical and collectible piece of military gear, designed for use with iconic firearms such as the .303 and L1A1 SLR rifles. Unlike standard slings, which are typically 46 inches long, this version measures 58 inches, offering enhanced versatility and comfort in a variety of shooting situations. Made from strong, military-grade webbing, the sling features a unique color that falls between desert khaki and dark jungle green. This subtle shade blends well across different environments, making it suitable for both dry, open ranges and dense, forested areas. The sling fits all firearms with 1 1/4-inch sling swivels, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of rifles and shotguns. The longer length of this sling provides distinct advantages. For range shooters, it offers additional elbow support when aiming, improving stability and accuracy during practice or competition. Hunters will appreciate the extra length when wearing bulky cold-weather gear, as it allows for easier rifle carrying without compromising comfort. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor excursions in colder climates, where layering is essential. Despite being military surplus, this sling is in excellent, unissued condition, with no signs of wear or prior use. However, due to long-term storage, some units may have a slight residue from dried-out rubber bands. This residue can be easily picked off by hand without affecting the quality or integrity of the webbing. Whether you are a military collector, shooter, or hunter, this 58-inch Australian Army-issue sling offers the perfect combination of historical value and practical utility. Its durability and extended length make it a superior upgrade to standard rifle slings, providing reliable performance for both display and use in the field.
