    Sten Mk 6 Question....

    So, curious as to if anyone here knows how they attached the front sling attachment of the standard STEN sling to the STEN MK 6?

    The rear being bog standard MK 5 sling swivel, but the supressor barrel has no holes like the barrel jacket on the MK 5...

    Is there a secret? Or did then not utilixe the sling on the MK 6?

    TIA

    Mike

    The sling is reversed. The curley wire goes to the rear stock.
