Egyptian Rasheed Sling

 

UPDATE:

Information added 3/1/02 courtesy of Whitie Blanshan

The sling you have on the Rasheed is not correct.  It's another move on Sarco's part to pass-off some of their excess junk. The one pictured looks like a Russian with the poorly stamped rivies and frayed web edges, but the D ring bracket and hook look like E. German. When I get a chance to send a picture I will.  The Rasheed sling is 46 inches long and 1 & 1/4 inch wide, made of green cotton webbing with a hook on one end that hooks into one of three eyelets spaced aproximately 3 inches apart in the center of the sling.  The sling for the Hakim looks just like it except that it's 48 inches long and 1 & 1/2 inches wide.

The Rasheed sling pictured came from Sarco and was billed as being the correct version for the rifle.  The Rasheed itself is a relatively rare firearm, with only about 9000 units ever produced.
