OD Cotton M79 Grenade Launcher Sling. This is the correct, "as issued" sling for the M79 Grenade Launcher. Technically, these slings were originally procured as Bazooka slings and then repurposed for the M-79. You can tell them apart from rifle slings by several key features: they are wider (they measure 1 3/8" wide), they are shorter (total length is 38", but folded back to buckle, their max length is about 36") and the webbing is much thinner than the standard M1 sling. These have always been tough to find over the years as they were recycled surplus even during the 60's.
This sling shows some use and has what appears to be a little paint on one end, but it does not detract. There is some minor wear along some of the edges from use, but it is still very solid with no major damage and will work quite well in the field. If you have an M-79, you need the correct sling for it!
