How to sling the No4 Mk1(T)

[Patrick Chadwick]

In the second case (Brits) the arm is simply passed in the overall loop from outside and hand is twisted into position to hold forend tight. The sling is not squeezed in place at bicep level in any way.

Yes. Shooting competitions with both types, my experience is that the British sling is quicker to use, but less stable in position. I have gradually attached 1907 slings to all competition rifles where it is permitted (it would look odd on an M1871 Mauser!)

Thank you Patrick.

I am also curious to know how the common type No4 issued with web slings were used for medium/long range shooting with no target swivel installed???

Not much can be done with the action cover attaching loop at magazine front???

Tks,

You can usualy find the target swivals on eBay if you want one. Numrich Gun Parts did have some but I think they're sold out.
