[Pard]

Except my long distance rifle, I have this sling on everything from the model 60, M1, levers, and 45-70.

Its truly easy to use one handed for stability

BTW I always buy the black ones

I've been finding slings like this one when marked down for about $10.00.

I like the 'stretchiness' and it seems to help with the through the sling arm hold I use when shooting offhand.

On most all of my rifles and shotguns, I use the nylon slings like this:

I use these. They range from good to like new. I actually like the ones in good condition - they are broke in. Long enough to let you sling your rifle across your chest rather than just over the shoulder.

Anybody know if the guys from NY are going to offer those nice leather straps embossed with Marlins name?? ???

A sling's not a sling unless it's leather. I don't put anything other than leather on my guns.

I've just got a cheap-o (straight, non-padded) nylon sling (tan/brown) on my 336. I know it isn't much -- snazzy it ain't, but it is very similar (other than color) to the sling that I was issued on my M-16 (A1) back when I was in the Army in the '70s, before I was able to ditch the rifle entirely after I became gunner in my 81mm mortar crew. Yeah, I started out with a leather sling as a kid/teenager, but I got used to the plain ol' nylon web sling in the Army and am comfortable with it in all of its cheapness. Because it is so similar to the old stock military sling, I can use the marksmanship tricks that we were taught using the military version of it.

One thing you can say about cheap-o nylon web slings is that they are durable. And trouble free. Low maintainence. They may fray a little bit as they get older but even so they remain serviceable. They are practically impervious to weather, although they do absorb and hold on to some moisture while out in wet weather but then again so does leather. It doesn't crack or split.

I use the strap off of a GI 2qt canteen pouch. I don't generally like to have a sling/strap dangling from the rifle while I'm in the thick woods. The clips on the strap means I can tote it in my back pocket and clip it on when I want it. I've been using them for lotsa years and use to rig my M16 up with one for tactical carry. I can pick them up at my local Army Surplus for $5 although one or two is all you really need.

For a nice, and true sling (vs. carrying strap), I would recommend Turner National Match Slings.

I use a leather sling. It's thin, comfortable and very handy. I use this type of sling on most of my rifles. I am slowly changing over as money comes in. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=1021134479 .

I use Montana Leather slings on all of my lever guns. These work well and look great at the same time.

[Paratrooper Dave]

I use Montana Leather slings on all of my Marlins (a total of 7 ...) as well. Couldn't be happier with them.

By the way, I'm from the 101st as well. 2nd Brigade 2/'67 to 12/'68. Vietnam 11/'67 to 12/'68 with
D-1/501 as XO and 3rd Platoon Leader.

This is what I use on all my marlins. A black one for my wood stock 30-30, and the camo one for my 336cc 30-30.

 

[.DIRTY-.THIRTY]

I use slings that look very similar to Abels. No complaints with 'em.

 

[me]

I hardly use them but my brother had one on a $1500 rifle and scope and the quick release (snap)came loose from the forearm end and it darn near hit the ground.So I would look for that and consider how the snaps rub the stock.

I use a green leather Finnish M39 sling.

I just installed a military type 1907 leather sling on my Marlin 336 .35 Remington. I can wrap it around my arm for a very steady off hand sight picture. Just like with my 1903 Springfield.

 

[MJRPH]

I make my own

 

[Scorpiusb]

I use 1907 slings and home made slings...
