    US Trench Gun Sling Length

    Anyone know if the US Trench Gun slings are necessarily longer than the rifles? I have a Model 12 (repro) with 1907 sling attached that seems pretty short compared to early US rifles
    Are they just expected to be that way due to the increased distance of the swivel?

    It's also difficult to adjust the length if that means anything.

    Thanks -

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Just a standard 1907 sling or canvas M1icon sling, nothing special.
