    Looks like a standard 1962 Type 2 to me. The barrel date means nothing, at that point SA used any barrel they could find that had the minimum bore diameter and headspace.

    Help me here Chris when using that sling... Does one not unhook the sling, loop around the upper arm, tighten, and then hook the butt hook on the upper swivel?

    No , not really . Here is a step -by-step to make it a match slung sling ( say that 5 times fast ) .
    http://www.ray-vin.com/tech/websling/webslinghelp.htm
    I really don't do much match shooting , so I just use the hasty sling set-up. I do cheat a little and set all my slings for that setting , then pull out the arm loop spoken of above to tighten up the sling to the stock . I then lay the loop up along the sling toward the front swivel and wrap a 6-inch piece of double -sided velcro around the strap and the flatened loop so they won't snag anything . When I get to the range or field , I remove the wrap and yank up on the sling to pull the loop out and voila , I'm ready.

    Oh! I see now, I thought it went the other way round. Something I saw that was likely cockeyed...I only ever used the two point sling...

    Sling

    If you were a GCAicon member you would have seen a 3-page article with 12 color photos on exactly how to use the leather sling in the last issue. The next issue will have the same on the web sling.

    As I recall that was how the web sling was used for Sitting, Kneeling and Prone, but for off hand, a "hasty sling" was used. As best I recall, for off hand you just unhooked the bottom clip, turned the sling 1/2 turn out board ( or was it in board), and re connected the bottom clip. Note I said "as I recall", it has been close to 60 years ago that I learned this in boot camp.

    [/COLOR]When I was shooting High Power, the sling was required to be in the "parade" for offhand. The sling was optional for the NRA rifle, but was required for "service" rifle.That was a few years ago.

    Web Sling Usage
    Everyone seems to agree with Ray-Vin’s usage of the web sling as shown in “emmage17’s” entry. I always set the sling up so that when the sling was in the parade position, the short end of the sling and the keeper lock were on the side away from the rifle. This served three purposes:
    1. It made it easier to return the sling to the ‘parade’ position for off hand.
    2. It put the smooth side of the sling keeperagainst the forearm in the firing positions.
    3. It made it easy to readjust the sling length while in the firing position-if necessary. All one had to do, was to pull down on the short (tab) end which would aid in unlocking the keeper. The sling length could then be readjusted using the short tail, and the keeper lock could be re-engaged without losing one’s position.
    Just a thought.

    By "parade position" do you mean the sling is pulled tight as it would be when carried in a "parade" or during inspection, and is not used at all during offhand ??
