Which sling?

#1 Post by Meaty »

Does anyone know which sling would be correct for a M1886 Kropatschek?
They were made by Steyr for the Portuguese army towards the end of the C19th and very similar in design to the Mauser 71/84 but chambered in 8x60R.

Thanks for that,
I had that page saved in my favourites but couldnt find the correct sling anywhere after trawling for ages so I sort of gave up looking. I have what I think is an M95 Steyr sling but it is a bit short so that has been saved for another day.
The Kropatschek is now sporting an original M1907 Springfield sling and it looks and feels a treat :good:
