Title: sling swivels
Post by: Lord Eoin MacKenzie on May 17, 2020, 08:38:32 PM

 I am looking for period style sling swivels for my new Rossi 92.  Possibly for a Krag or trapdoor sling.   Since I don't own a horse,  a sling would do better than a Gun cart

Howdy Lord Eoin,

I gather that you are not intending to use a sling instead of a gun cart foe CAS. If you do intend to use it for CAS, I would suggest you consider a gun cart. It not only provides you with a way to haul around ammo, tools, cigars, fired shells, etc. but all is a handy gun rack where none is provided at a given stage. I'm afraid I can't help with period correct swivels. Also having a sling waving around under your rifle while you are moving from target to target might be counter productive.

 Dear Reverend Chase,   I need to sling the rifle, because one hand is for my cane, and the other to carry everything else either in a musset bag, or carpet bag.  No room in the apartment for a gun cart (non SASS shooting).   Since I am GAF,  and a Vet.  I like period style fittings for my kit.

 Looking for nickel or stainless swivels to match the rifle, and keep up the Bling....

Hi

You might consider a blanket or leather rifle case with a sling on it.  I've looked at these guys, but haven't purchased yet.

There is also this group that does leather rifle cases.

Haven't done business with either one, but would like to get something for a lever gun.  I think both would look strange with a 30-40 Krag.
