Cheers Everyone. I'm new to the forum having recently pulled out my 1965 2A1 from the boxes I put it in many years ago after doing a complete teardown but not pursuing the refinishing. Some of my American Legion brothers have refurbished M1 Garands so I got the urge to get back to refurbishing my Ishy. I'm a little anal about doing things so I've been researching the net for anything about the topic and came across this excellent forum. It's already answered many of my question and given me some excellent ideas for the work ahead. By some luck many, many years ago my father bought my brother and I surplus bayonets and after perusing the forum discovered the bayonet is a Wilkerson 1907 and fits my Ishy. So I have a second refurbishment job to pursue.

My question at this time is where might I obtain a proper sling for my rifle and the belt harness(?) for the bayonet scabbard? I bought the rifle from a group of surplus weapons many years ago without a sling. It was a steal by the way, $90, and it's in fairly good condition. Enough chatter. I look forward to our discussions and thanks in advance for your knowledge.
