The rarest of the rare in terms of Enfield Sniper Accessories. According to the Enfield Sniper Book “ An Armourer's Perspective” by Peter Laidler with Ian Skennerton, on page 42 there was a request from the field for a better sling than the leather one in use during the war. The result was the “No. 4 Mk.1 (T) Experimental web sling DD (E) 3543”, which was supplied by the Mills Equipment Company in very limited numbers.

As these were used on the British Shooting Teams they would be appropriate for a number of weapons over several decades of World Conflict for example:WWII Enfield No. 4 “T” Sniper
Enfield L42A1 Military Sniper Rifle
Enfield Police L42A1 Enforcer Rifle
Enfield Envoy Match Rifle L39A1
Enfield No. 8 (.22 LR) Match Rifle
Enfield No. 8 Mk-1 (.22 LR) RF Carbine
British L1A1 (FN FAL)
British Parker & Hale M82
British Parker & Hale M85
Any Pre-1965 Sniper or Target Rifle

This is an exact reproduction to the original with the one exception to the marking “M.E.Co. 1943” which I deliberately use a 1944 dated sling so as not to get these confused with an original.
This particular sling is for sale and can be yours for the total sum of $100.00 USD
PM me if interested...

Out of the original M.E.C. production run, less than 30 were made.
