RicochetThe old M1907 leather sling with Parkerized steel hardware was still used with those and the M1.
If you're wanting an original, it'll cost ya. But Turner Saddlery makes a high quality reproduction; see
http://wideners.com/ under "Slings."
International Military Antiques has a surprisingly decent cheap repro of the M1907 sling. I put one of the WWI versions with the brass hardware on my Savage varmint rifle.
