Description

Reproduction of WWII Holland & Holland British Enfield 4 Mk.1 "T" Sniper Rifle Experimental Sling DD (E) 3543 Mills Equipment Company / M. E. Co. (Unissued / Clean / New) (Price includes USPS Ground Advantage & Insurance)

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. It appears that these were just Competition Slings that were pulled off weapons from the rifle team. It is estimated that less and 30 were produced and all were made from existing M.E.C.o slings to make a more complex model.

Being a huge fan of all things British Militaria I have always been on the lookout for one of these. A couple years ago while I was in the UK at the Imperial War Museum researching WWII German PzB-39s and sharing information and photos with the staff there, I was invited to Nottingham to visit the Royal Small Arms Pattern Room. While I was there I actually got to hold and measure an original MEC DD (E) 3543 sling. That set in motion a 2+ year adventure to replicate this “Holy Grail” of Enfield Slings.

I have faithfully reproduced the #4 Sniper Experimental Sling using the highest quality and closest to the original parts that I could lay my hands on. The sling I saw was heavily used and warn / dirty, but this one is as if it was never issued..

This is an exact reproduction to the original with the one exception to the marking “M.E.Co. 1943” which I deliberately leave off so as not to get these confused with an original.

The sewing in particular has been painstakingly replicated, much to the chagrin of the professionals hired to make these. The stitching is like the originals (hand stitched) and not at all like modern slings. The stitching is replicated with all its defects / sloppiness. The brass fittings and buckles are all bright and clean.

The double and single loops are solid brass and had to be custom cast as no reproduction hardware is available in the correct shape and size. This was a major cost of the project, but one that could not have been done any other way.

The slings are handmade and thus all are slightly different. All will have defects / pulled threads in the webbing, some bent brass end fittings and kinks in the cotton webbing. The keeper in particular will have frayed edges where it is butt sewn together (again to simulate the original that I saw).

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

They are also a great sling to use on just about any rifle.

NOTE TO ZEALOUS LEFTIST DEMOCRAT / COMMUNIST ANTI GUN ASSHOLES & THEIR CRONY LAW ENFORCEMENT:

In accordance with the Joe Biden & Beto O’Rourke directive I personally as well my company no longer own(s) or possess any firearms or ammunition all lost in a terrible boating accident. This includes, but is not limited to: Handguns, Pistols, Shotguns, Rifles, NFA items, Hog Legs, Fire Sticks, Smoke Poles, WMDs, Alien Death Rays, Phasers, Lasers, Storm Trooper Blasters, Directed Energy Weapons, Nukes and or Thunder Clubs.

So, I no longer need the US Government's gracious and altruistic offer to buy back any weapons "real, imaginary or things that might identify themselves as weapons" for their "HEAP BIG WAMPUM"!

All firearms that appear on our web site, regardless of what is written about them, are not owned by the company nor possessed by anyone associated with MFI and may even be AI / CGI / PhotoShop.

Therefore regardless of any new firearms laws / taxes, no probable cause can EVER be assumed on any property (stationary or mobile) owed by myself or MFI.

AGAIN: We are 100% in compliance with any possible new “Biden / O’Rourke Public Safety Act” and therefore NO PROBABLE CAUSE could ever be assumed.

Lastly anyone arriving with a warrant of any kind will be assumed to be an IMPOSTER with intent on murdering us and will be treated as such without warning.

Those invading our territory may receive serious and even fatal wounds from rusty blades, clubs with bent nails, spear tips, arrows, crossbow bolts and or Big Mike's man member.

NOTE NEW STATE LAWS:

States in IL & NY have recently defied the Supreme Count's Rules and continue to enact new gun laws.

TO BE 100% CLEAR! MFI (in essence me as I am a one man show) having studied Constitutional Law in Collage see ALL STATE LAWS that limit firearms in any manner as a violation of BOTH the 2nd Amendment and the 10th Amendment.

I WILL ship ALL MFI PRODUCTS to all 50 US STATES regardless of your state's "opinion" or "feelings" or "regulations" as these are absolutely 100% Unconstitutional.

Additionally we will NEVER turn over any records of our customers to ANYONE regardless of their threats or illegitimately and illegally obtained court order.
