Help, looking for SWIVEL for a ww2 sling

[Tim Allen]

Im looking for a particular part for my Thompson SMG

Its a simple bolt on ww2 swivel sling (one in front and back) but havnt found any luck searching the net. Ive found similar slings but not the basic screw on/ bolt on version as this. Can anyone point me in the right direction for this part, or find something similar to this?

I wandered about Home Depot today but didnt have any luck.

Four places to try:

http://www.brownells.com - Not likely, but they have a lot
http://www.dixiegunworks.com - Pretty good chance
http://www.midwayusa.com - Like Brownells
http://www.gunpartscorp.com - Numrich arms, good chance

I don't think IMA has just the sling mount, but maybe check with them too www.ima-usa.com

Yeh ive hit up most of those sites already but they dont seem to have what I need. Its such a simple piece im wondering if local hardware stores would carrry something like this, maybe a hanger bracket or something of this nature since its just a D ring + the bracket and holes

Tim,
I may have one lying round somewhere from my Airsoft Marui Thompson that I used for my Pulse Rifle. It's probably the same size as a real one but I can send a few measurements to make sure. Let me know if you're interested!

Damn, I took and tossed those pieces from a cybergun M1A1 about 3 weeks ago. Bought it for the PR bits and threw the rest away.

Yeh any more pictures of measurments would be of great help.

Im going to try and contact some of the replica dealers on ebay and see if they sell individual parts. Thanks for all the help so far gents

Yeh ive been on Gunbroker before and found a few similar parts but they come in 1, not a set for thoe ones ive seen. Not to mention their all found ww2 part so their pretty rusty and old, not something I want to trust with 9 lbs strapped on my back.

Try http://tommygunner.com/pages/parts/index.htm . They have original for about 35-45 bucks, but if you scroll down, they have repros for 8 bucks. These are the milled version and not the stamped M1 version though. I have no clue where to find the stamped ones - but I do have an engineering drawing for it if you want to make one yourself.

Ah good find, I think I had this bookmarked a while ago but it dissapeared. I sent them a email so w'll see how that goes. Thanks

Scratch that, springfield rifles buttstock slings are the same as the thompson ones. Found some on a Springfield rifle site, thanks for all the help gentlemen
