This is a great sling for a lever action Marlin 1894. The included swivels attached easily and the adjustment for length was smooth. It is a bit unclear where the two sliding leather "cuffs" were supposed to cover. A simple instruction sheet for the novice would be appreciated, I'm sure. All things considered, a good quality USA made sling.

Great sling, very well made, nice leather that is finished on both sides (unlike other manufacturers). Comes with swivels on the sling that are also great.

This is a nice sling that will dress up one of your gun case rifles. If you are looking for functionality and durability, I would suggest going in a different direction. I returned the thing after 2 weeks because the stitching came apart after minimal use. It was also disappointing that there were no instructions on how to get the most out of this latigo design. I figured it out for the most part, but even the Browning customer service rep couldn't provide a user manual or any basic instructions based on design. I own a couple of Browning items and this is the first time their product has not met my expectations.

This is a well made sling. The color is a medium reddish brown. I have two small gripes. 1) the frogs are bright brass. Not exactly the stealthiest of finishes. I would prefer the frogs in flat black or some other subdued color. 2) No instructions are included with this sling. Fortunately, there are quite a few websites that explain how to set up and use a 1907 style sling. Proper set up and technique are paramount to getting the most out of this sling.

I mounted this sling on a WWII commemorative M1 Garand. I don't use superlatives very often but this sling was PERFECT for this application. High quality beautifully finished and detailed sling with super appointments. A little pricy but worth every dime. Maybe not historically correct but presentation is first rate. I'm finishing a 1903A3 project that will get one too.
