Ted's sling is good for those who don't want a permanent alteration or don't want to reblue after soldering. Wonder how much it costs? I prefer soldered front sling swivels, as I don't trust screws there to stay tight or hold up to wear. Only have one long gun without a sling, a Browning auto .22--may have to alter that some day. I'm just too lazy to carry port arms all the time, though I did with a 5 1/2 pound Greener once upon a time. Steve
There is a permanent alteration in the butt stock, which has to have a fitting put into it to receive the T shaped quick detach pin that is on the other end of the sling. But, it is far less obtrusive than a swivel.
If the sling isn't there the fitting is easy to miss.
Unlike our 1/4 ton friend. Who seems to enjoy quoting and then altering the posts of others to make up for the lack of intelligence in his own posts. The notion that someone who posted here earlier could think that dumbass jOe might grasp the mechanical idea of a bretelle Darne, while ignoring the fact that jOe can't even properly structure a complete sentence, is a little bit sad.
You know, Steve, I own the predecessor to the Browning, a Remington 241 that was my Dad's. I was always suspect of the take down feature and what it did to accuracy, but my Dad installed a cantilever scope mount on the gun (he couldn't see iron sights after his cataract surgery) and the danged thing seems to be much improved, if a bit uglier. I bore sighted it and ran a dozen or so standard velocity .22 rounds through it, at about 16 yards, and I wouldn't want to be a bushy tail, from here to there, with that old .22 pointed at me.
Best,
Ted
