Now then , just put the sling on right and you'll be ready . ( the webing needs to be completely flipped , then the front buckle removed , flipped , and reinstalled to be back in the correct position it is now in . )

I didn't remove the front buckle at all, it was installed this way at the factory. Maybe I'm not understanding that part. Do you have a photo of a correctly installed sling? Thanks!

The above pic is correct . You need the rear slide in that position so the loop that can be formed in it goes properly around your left arm in match shooting. Your front buckle is currently in the right position in relation to the rifle , but will change when you correct the rear half.

"Since I've purchased this M1D, and while searching for cheekpads, I've noticed that there are a surprising number of these rifles that have been kept wrapped up in the original packaging (my friend still has 2 more just like this one!). "
I am one of the guys that got one of these from the DCM lottery back in 96 and still have all the documentation, down to the postal money order receipt. I bought it with the intent to shoot it, but just never got around to as life (children, work, etc.) intervened. Now, 18 years later, I haven't opened any of the parts/accessories bags, including the rifle itself and am wondering about the wisdom of doing so. I don't really have an urge to shoot it, but are there any preservation issue with just having the rifle itself in that plastic bag? Corrosion? I'd think not, as it appears to have some cosmoline or something like that on it, and the bag itself isn't airtight as there are few holes in it. I'm more of a USGI 1911 guy and have heard the same shoot/no shoot arguments there, although this weapon is documentably pristine and original! Any advice you experts can proffer about taking it out of the bag to maybe CLP it, I'd appreciate. Thanks!
