Thanks for the photo. This is a variation of the sling placement I learned in USMC rifle training using an M14.

You can also utilize a "ChingSling" style sling. See Ian's video for the details & a comparison between the Ching & the P1907 slings. The image above shows the use, but the shooter's body is blocking the fact there is no rear end to the sling! Its basically just the front loop of the P1907 sling! the "extra swivel" s a direct replacement for the main screw & goes in in about 5 minutes. The swivel is angled also which helps with "forming the loop". I have a 1907 on my SMLE but prefer the Ching for most things.  |

I absolutely know I'm gonna get beat up, but in all my years of hunting and shooting all kinds of rifles, (40+ years) I've never used a sling for any other purpose than to hang it off my shoulder. Even then, rarely as I've always been a "carry in hand" person, more often than not like I'm carrying a shot gun.

Meant carrying it shotgun style... kinda like a lot of bird hunters do. Hard to explain without a picture.

The swivel screw in the T rifle was bought specifically for looks. I will never use it for its intended purpose.

I know this isn’t the correct section of this forum to ask this but since we’re here. Does anyone have one to sell reasonably.

The Parker Hale brand are longer than the military version and will not foul itself on the trigger guard loop.

There's a reason they foul & stop rotating. It prevents the sling from becoming twisted. I've had the fully rotating P-H & the shorter "Issue" ones & prefer the issue. Its no fun untangling that sling on the range.

The kingscrew swivel gets fouled up on my Faux L42A... oops! Got schooled on that name! I'm not sure what to call the rifle now but it does have the king screw mentioned that fouls.

These swivels are also fitted to the No8 Lee Enfield .22 trainers

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!
