As you know, the French like slings on shotguns.


that is because of their automatic response to drop whatever firearm they may be carrying and raise their hands whenever someone raises their voice.....the sling has saved many a French SxS from unnecessary damage, so much so that they even built some SxSs with the sling built right in.....


Yes, Manufrance is known for retractable butt stock sling. I have seen something similar on American made .22 rifle made for Sears or Montgomery ward. I suspect the gun was made by Stevens. I remember playing with one. My friend thought it was neat and actually bought the gun because of that retractable sling.
