Finally IDed what it is.....

Post by ffuries »

After looking myself stupid trying to figure out what the hell this is, somebody finally IDed it for me.

It came with the M1917 Eddystone I bought some months back in 2023. I thought it was a carbine sling at first, but not. Then thought Eastern European, but not. Then thought maybe an equipment strap, but no again.

Turns out it's an Uzi sling, I would have never guessed that, mystery solved. I'll tag it, bag it and into the spare parts bin it goes.

Nothing wrong with having a spare sling. Good move to tag it; As I get older I appreciate having notes and documentation on things to remind me what I'm looking at. The Brain bucket doesn't retain things like it used to. :wink:

Yeah, if I don't tag it with an ID, I'll find it again in 6 months and wonder what the hell it is and start the ID hunt all over again.
