Looking for a standard US issue M16 / AR15 sling in green O/D. The one that fits the collapsible butt stock preferably. They all seem to be these fancy, dancy three point tactical jobbies these days!

Anybody know where to get a standard post Vietnam US Nylon M16 sling from in the UK???

I get most of my M16 slings from Gun Parts Corporation in the USA.

There were a few variations of green nylon sling issued , plus black & other colours.

The post-VN collapsible butt versions tend to be the plain black nylon types; depending on time frame of course!

Hi Mike,

Got an Israeli Army sling on mine, goes with the fab defence forend, T-pod and pistol grip!!!

Cheers, John.

Found a good one on MidwayUK. Made in the US and very good quality. £18.

Do you have a link to or picture of the sling fitted?

Will do shortly.

The link is for the M1 version but its identical to the early M16 version. Its elsewhere on the site in black but I wanted a green one.

I know I have an old one stashed away somewhere in my gun lockers; can't remember whether it is green or black, I'll check & get back.

Andy, I am after a black one so if nobody else is interested I certainly am if you wish to sell it.

Yup, I've got a fairly well used one in green. If this is any use please PM me and we can come to some arrangement.

Mike, you were after a green one
