  • musket sling question

    I'm separated from my source material. What is the length of an M.1839 musket sling intended for an M.1842 musket? Thanks.

    The answer is as follows:
    Gun sling, bag leather, 1.25 in. wide, 44 in. long with a standing and a sliding loop—hook, brass.

      Does that length include the brass hook?
