sling 4 narrow sling swivels ?
#72412 - 24/02/07 01:17 PM

I have a Holland rifle that was made in the 20's and has very narrow swivels, less than 3/4". Were these designed for the thong type sling that Paul Roberts sells and that usually goes on guns with sling eyes? I would like to put a proper sling on the old gal. Its a trade Farquharson action and I just finished re-regulating it after the previous gunsmithing gremlins got ahold of it. Every thing works nicely now with a crisp 3lb pull. Just a few minor details to work out before a red stag hunt in april. Details like a good load to work up and a sling to help carry her. I love getting out the old warhorses and this one surely has seen some action. I know this belongs in the single shot forum, but the doubles get all the attention. Pictures to follow.

They used to have an internet presence, but it looks like it has gone by the way.

I have bought several really nice slings by Riserva from S.O.G. Arms. I recommend them heartily.

Sounds like the swivel loops you have were to be used for sling ends with buckle fastenings rather than the pigsking thong ends, the latter usually fitted to a round eye only, a number of older guns and rifles had narrow loops fitted, often sewn to the end of a wide 2-3" canvas sling, it should be no problem to have such a sling run up, possibly by one of the outfits listed in the previous mails, alternatively you may try Trader Keiths as they often list safari type slings and cartridge belts in canvas webbing.
