I have a new to me CZ 457 Jaguar XII. It came with 1" sling swivels. Can I get a 1" GI style web sling? Links please.

Tech Sight 1” web slings are the way for those of us inclined to keep our 1” sling swivels.

You can find almost anything on Ebay. 1" 1907 styles are readily available.

M1 Carbine style slings are cotton as are SKS style.

I suspect what you really are looking for is a M1 Garand style cotton web sling that is 1" instead of 1 1.25". If so, just change your sling swivels to 1.25" and be done with it.

A wider cotton sling will cut into your arm less when used as a loop.

The sling swivels are integral to the rifle (CZ 457) but I did find a 1" web sling, Tech-Sights has them:

I have a Winchester M 70 that came with 1" sling swivels. I replaced them with detachable sling swivel studs and bought some 1-1/4" swivels. My experience with 1" slings vs 1-1/4" slings is that the 1-1/4" are orders of magnitude better in both quality and comfort.

I do have a 1" 1907 style sling by Uncle Mike's that's okay, but not great. I've passed on or thrown away 1" slings that just didn't measure up, though. Uncle Mike's has been the only one that I felt was a serviceable product.

Just my thoughts and experience.

I did the same thing on my 452 Trainer. Swapped the 1" European style swivels for studs and got 1.25" loops.

Something you might consider is that the 1" sling is, at least for me, orders of magnitude less comfortable than a 1.25". More of a tourniquet than a sling at that width.

I like 1.25” better, as well. I put a 1” on my Mannlicher stocked 10/22 because it has the built in swivel that won’t take 1.25. I didn’t want to butcher up a brand new rifle.
On the other hand, the Mini 14 was a no brainer. Pop off the little swivel and drill the mount through, instant swivel stud.:cool:
