I would rather get an old, used original cotton GI sling with metal parts that have worn finish rather than a brand new nylon (blend) GI reproduction sling.
Argh, I wish I had read this before last night. I ordered 1" nylon slings from the Tech Sights website because they were black and will match my rifle and my son's rifle (and I was already ordering a Tech Sights for his Marlin XT-22R). Oh well, live and learn, eh?

I just ordered the 1.25" cotton slings from the Appleseed store. I'd rather buy the right thing than be frustrated for 8 hours.
