Pictures of my "somewhat original" Inland - what do you guys think?

Thanks for the tip on the oiler. Yeah, I think a wood dowel would be the best bet. But I've never been able to unthread the sling out of there. It's in there super tight.

I find AK's and SKS's to really be a problem with the protective wings in the front sight of them. I've never really had that big of a problem with a circular aperture and the wings. But the other day, when I was in my basement, in low light, I did do the same thing. I went to sight in on my Carbine and picked up one of the wings first. So yeah, I can understand it. I've never had a problem with a Garand or M1A though. But I at times get irritated with the aperture on the rear sight. I posted this in the 03 forum. When the light is real bright to your back, it really lights up the rear ap and makes it hard to see the front.

The secret with the oilers is to move them in and out as you dismount the sling. A slight push inward or outward makes plenty of clearance to remove the sling. The main thing is to not get frustrated and just keep trying to pull it out. My NPM has a beautiful Inland I cut (high wood trimmed and .U. mark) that has screwdriver injuries from some idiot trying to remove the oiler.

IMHO, it's easier said than done.
