Just wondering...
Were WW2 Garands issued mostly with the M1 cotton web sling, or the 1907 pattern leather sling?
It seems leather is more popular among service rifle high power shooters. I see mostly the 1907 pattern sling on Garands in Hollywood movies. But my CMP Garand came with a web sling and I would think the web would be way faster and cheaper to mass produce.
