Canadian Forces FN C1 OD Green Sling With Plastic Buckles

The Canadian Forces FN C1 OD Green Sling with Plastic Buckles is a standard issue rifle sling previously used with the FN C1 battle rifle, which served as the primary service rifle for Canadian Forces during the mid-to-late 20th century. This sling is constructed from sturdy olive drab (OD) green webbing, offering durability and reliable support in field conditions. It features plastic adjustment buckles, which replaced earlier metal hardware in later production runs, allowing for secure and customizable length adjustment while reducing overall weight and noise. The design is simple and functional, intended to allow easy carry of the rifle either over the shoulder or across the back. This type of sling was commonly seen in service from the 1960s through to the adoption of the C7 rifle in the 1980s, and is a representative component of Canadian military kit from this era, suitable for collectors or historical reference.
