    can't do it

    OK, what is the secret/proper way to attach the carrying strap to the carbine? I can't get the oiler to go into the cut into the stock where it should secure the strap when it is wrapped with the carrying strap.. help

    Put the oiler in the slot first then poke the tail of your C tip in and around until you can do it up.

    Sometimes, it may help to use your free fingers to "jiggle" the oiler in it's slot to find the "sweet spot" for the sling to feed thru. Unless it's an unusually thick sling tip, it'll go.

    If the sling is a reproduction, keep in mind that most are a little thicker material than original slings.
    Keep working at it, and you should be able to push the tip back through, but it will be a tight fit.

    If it's a reproduction sling, have no hesitation about taking a hammer to the tip against a hard flat surface to make it flatter.

    With some stocks , I have tried all of the above & still needed to carefully remove a very small amount of wood.
    IMO , the end grain area soaks up liquids and swells over the years.

    Not even on utilty birch?



    I've got confess that a couple stocks I have tried all of the techniques listed and still had to shave a little wood. It's a last ditch option for a utility stock.
    ETA:
    Or so I thought , there may be more tricks that are not listed yet.

    My type 2 Inland stock is also tight.I reversed the threading around the oiler so the end of the sling is next to the stock. No problem installing. The stock is for show and not being used.GK

    Put the sling in first from the left side, plenty of slack. Put oiler into cutout all the way and push toward sight end of gun. Then take loose end and insert back into cutout. You can kind of wiggle oiler to get a little more clearance, but end of sling will go in. You can get some needle nose pliers or some tweezers to reach back in from the left side to grab it and pull back through. You cannot wrap the oiler with your sling and pull back into the slot, it wont go in. You have to thread it in put the oiler all the way in and thread it back through if that makes sense to you.
