Welcome to the forum joski. Rules are simple, be nice and join in. I don't know where you can get a sling for your rifle, just wanted to welcome you to the forum.

Some of the places I buy are Brownell's, Cabala's, Midway and Natchez. You might check those out.

Welcome to the forum. Rules are simple: Avoid politics not useful to firearms ownership, no ad hominem attacks, and keep in mind we have a lot of youthful readers, so avoid saying anything an 8-year-old shouldn't hear.

Since your post is specific to rifle equipment I'll move it to that forum for you.

P.S. I see Bob beat me to the rules. I just saw an ad for a program to improve typing speed and ignored it. I may need to reconsider. ;)

Tanner Saddlery is another source. Might check e-gunparts.com (Numrich arms) to see if they have an original sling?

Since you are in the UK, a Ljungman Sling (Swede) Is the best option. Check out the Swede Sights.( Same rifle, different caliber) Welcome! If you want to get crude and rude send me a PM. I don't mind! Is it really an Egyptian Hakim converted to an Air rifle? You gotta come over to the States. Your Mil-surp Post was the correct Place! JP

I am curious about the air rifle conversion myself. Was this done to make it legal where you are, or was it done to convert it to a trainer? Was the conversion just in the propulsion; in other words, does it launch the original caliber by air, or was the barrel changed, too?
