The same type of cotton sling was used on all three.

Re: Retro 870 Police
If one looks for a Grand web sling you will end with one type of sling. It'll be made of cotton (we are talking web slings, not leather 1907 sling).
If one looks for M14 slings you could end up with a cotton sling as was used with the Garand, or a nylon version of same, or a nylon version that is quite a bit longer.
If one looks for an M16 sling the by-far most common variant is a simple length of nylon with a buckle on each end. Only the very earliest M16 used the Garand or M14 slings.
So if one wants to be most pretty sure of getting a Garand sling I guess I'd go ahead and stick with looking for a Garand sling.

Check out techsights. The sling you are looking for is a 1 1/4 inch sling. These are reasonable and I use them on my garand.

That's where I got mine. Affordable and functional (but I don't use it on my shotties for all the reasons listed here. Dang, I can't walk through my house without a cabin pull ripping my britches off.
