Correct sling for a m28 Finn with an unusual stock

[Claven2]

We have an M28 in the MKL Finland section you can reference.

As for a sling, you ideally need a brown leather Finnish sling dated 1928,29,or30 stamped "SY" to be "as-issued when new". If you want a ca. 1940 representation, the easiest thing is to get either a zinc buckle brown SA stamped sling or a generic Finnish zinc buckle green leather sling, or even any of the wartime Finnish green canvas slings marked SA.

The sling is retained with the Finnish dog collars which are usually thinner and made of darker leather than the Russian ones. E-bay is a good place to start. For over the back carry, the dog collar is looped through both rear slots and the sling is looped through the dog collar on the non-bolt side. Lets the rifle hang flat against the chest or back.
