Is this a Patchett sling?

[Vincent]

I noticed that these clips were also used on the Vickers Berthier sling so it's possible that this sling maybe off something like else like a bag or load carry device.

That sounds possible. How long is it?


Great pictures, Lee and Jim. Thank you.




It’s very interesting to see those close-ups of the C1 after reading Peter’s excellent description in the GoD book.

The bottom picture shows the barrel positioning stud (page 195/196, #17 Stud, barrel positioning). What exactly does it do?

It'd be a VERY easy gun to replicate/fabricate wouldn't it? Anyone out there in forumland fancy a go at one?

It’s on my list, Peter. Problem is finding the parts. So far I’ve only been able to get my mits on a couple of magazines, endcap, butt and a few other parts. The trigger en bloc is beyond my ability to fabricate and I am not sure about the magazine well. I’d also like to get a good look at the front sight.
