    Spanish Destroyer sling?????

    What can I use for a sling for this carbine?????
    Checked around and can't find anything.
    One's I've found are to wide to fit in the swivels.

    I use an old leather military sling of unknown origin, which I believe came from a Mauser. Essentially anything not wider than the sling fittings should suffice.

    WW2 German Mauser sling also works, as would an SKS sling.

    I'd want to first measure the sling openings and compare them to the width of an Enfield sling, especially the width of the hooks on the ends, which are wider than the sling.
