M1 Carbine Sling, Oiler, & Buttstock Pouch Lt. OD Marked JT&L 1943

This sling and oiler fit my 1943 M1 carbine (GM built) perfectly. The mag holder requires removal of the lower trigger mechanism to install. The belt loop is not elastic and is too small to pull over the butt or the trigger and rear sight. This is not a problem but the buyer should be aware of this installation requirement.

I was able to mount it successfully to the stock at the particular carbine I was restoring. A little snug, but once fitted, it seemed to be a-ok. Thank you.

If you have heard the term tacticool this fits the term. These are Totally needed accessories in my opinion. I have used the sling and it holds as it should. I have two loaded magazines in the pouch and it works as it should. I do not have oil in the oiler but it is needed as a sling mounting point. The oiler has a gasket to prevent oil spillage and probably works as it should. Very happy with overall looks and feel of the accessories.

Works as intended the canvas is on the thinner side though

I was skeptical about the quality of these items at first, honestly, but it proved to be unfounded. The oiler looks like a decent reproduction, holds oil (shocking, I know), and most importantly, fit into the slot in my Inland with no issue. The sling was the perfect thickness to hold it in place snug, but not so tight that it can't be removed. The sling adjusts easily, and the snap that holds it to the front sling loop secures it very well. I have carried it through the woods, wrapped it around my arm during shooting to provide tension, etc. and it shows no sign of releasing when I don't want it to. The mag pouch holds magazines as well! Brilliant. All joking aside, it is also well made. The snap holds firm, magazines fit perfectly, and it does not slide around the stock at all actually. Overall these are great repro's, they are functional and I think they look great on my 1944 war horse.

Carbine must have! Well made and correct construction keeps mags ready and rifle shouldered when needed!

Fast shipping, great combo price for sling, mag pouch and oiler kit. Fit my M-1 C perfectly. Too many complain of oiler and sling being too tight, they always are. Once manipulated and sometimes slightly dampen the sling end and stretch before looping around the oiler, it goes in fine. Unless you are going to sling carry, take the sling and oiler in and out or use the rifle daily, it's gonna stay snug. I used a piece of loop (fuzzy side) of some roll velcro stripping I had like moleskin to cover the bronze snap on the inside of the mag pouch to keep it from scuffing up my M-1 carbine stock, trimmed it to about quarter sized and covered the snap backer, worked fine. This helped complete my M-1 carbine display in my gunroom.

Excellent repro. It even smells old . I noticed some reviews noted the difficulty of getting the magpouch over the stock.A little history, this is not a stock mag pouch. It is designed to slide over the gi web belt.GI's, being GI's figured out they could take the standard mag pouch and fit it onto the rifle.To get easily put the mag pouch on your rifle REMOVE THE BSRRELED ACTION and slide it on from the barrel end of the stock. jeesh. Its not that hard.The sling and oiler fit perfectly into my M1. I may have gotten lucky. IDK. Just make sure your using the end of the sling with the slip buckle. If your trying to use the snap end you will never get it to work.
