Original Old Style Galil Sling?

[Cheernik]

I'm trying to find an old style IDF sling. I think they were something like 1.5" wide, heavy canvas. Or, if any one has one, can they give me the length so that I can track down some webbing?

From what I recall, the various AK/SKS straps weren't long enough to have the gun hang at waist level. All I seem to be seeing on various web sites are the shorter, wider versions or the more modern 3 point types. Any pointers appreciated.

This is what I'm talking about. The tan one on the left. Or what these guys have. From what I recall, the IDf started issuing black versions in the mid to late 80s.

Thanks!

Thanks jetskrtal, but none are the same basic design as the older ones. The ones you pointed to (new issue) are all made of a lighter nylon vs. the heavier cotton. Here's another pic of what I'm looking for.

I may be SOL, just thought someone would know offhand.

Cheers.
