Hello all,
My brother gave me a repro sling for my T99. I think the sling was from "SARCO". While it seems to be fairly good quality as far as its construction goes, it is way too short seems to me. Even extended out all the way it is way too short. When I sling it in the standard military "Sling Arms" position, it will barely go over my shoulder and is very tight and downright uncomfortable in that position. I have seen pics of Japanese soldiers with the rifle slung diagonally across their backs, with the sling diagonally across their chests. Their is no way mine would do that even on a small man, perhaps a child.

Where can I get a quality repro sling that is the right size and length?
Thanks,

those slings suck, there is an ebay seller right now in china that is making a really nice one, and also Stewarts stocks the nice Nakata slings.

You can always go the cheap swedish sling route too.

Thanks Sonoda Otaku,
I have recently ordered some things from Stewarts, repros other than an original Naguro type 30 bayonet. I think it would be neat to have an early war bayonet with the same markings as the rifle. I will indeed ordere their sling too!
Thanks,

Dave,

You will find a plethora of Nagoya bayonets on the auction sites.
