Turner Saddlery M1887 Sling
Reproduction leather sling for the .45-70 Trapdoor Springfield and .30-40 Krag, used on both rifles until the M1907 sling was adopted for the Krag. Blackened brass hardware with a hook on the top end and a button on the other, attaching through the rifle's fixed sling loops or swivels rather than a QD socket. Hand-made to order in small batches due to leather and hardware availability.

Every firearm this threads onto, resolved
Not a list the maker typed out: the answer comes from the interface this part needs and the mounts each firearm exposes, so it stays right when either one changes.
- The reverse lookup on every part in the catalogue
- Interface standards, platforms and fit overrides
- The same answers through the API and the MCP server
Requires a signed-in GunSpec account on the Studio plan. The answer is computed per firearm, so it is not part of the public record.
