IMHO - I suggest you get a complete butt-swivel and a barrel-band swivel from Granpa's Gun Parts (movieman630 - on ebay).

I would also recommend a reproduction leather model-1907 Springfield sling. The 1907 sling is a lot better for shooting than the various Krag slings.

If you just want a good carry strap and occasional shooting sling, the British canvas 'Mills Slings' (for the Lee-Enfield) will work and are handier than the reproduction U.S. Mills sling.

Mod-1907 sling:

+1 on the 1907 sling. I threw one on today. It looks and feels right at home. Actually, every sling I have aside from one is a 1907 pattern. I got mine here -

It really is a nice sling. Once it's set, I never change it.

Many of us who shoot in Vintage Rifle Matches with our Krags use the 1907 reproduction sling from Turner's. They are manufactured on the same equipment that made the originals (obtained from RIA), and held to exact standards. Price wise, they're also a great value.
