Photos MRT SLING QUESTION

[TWOMANATTACK]

In the picture, I have 2 slings. One is MY original sling that I was issued with my M40A1 at Horno (Some how I letft Horno with it) and the other I bought several years later. The original (86) only has 1 leater band, and the newer one has 2 leather bands. Does anyone know if my original one had 2 keepers at one time and I lost one, or did they change the slings to include 2 keepers later?

Re: MRT SLING QUESTION

I have a Turner Saddlery that's marked "UMSC"

I bought it at least 3rd hand so I don't know if Turner marked it, the Marine Corps marked it, or some chucklehead marked it down the road...

Mine has 2 keepers on it though.
