Saddle Ring?
« on: September 09, 2008, 03:52:47 AM »
Was thumbing through a few pages yesterday and came upon a site where a fella had added a saddle ring to the side of his 45-70 handi rifle and was using a sling that clipped to it for carry.  Kinda reminded me of a baldric used to hang a sword on your side.  Anyway the guy gives a link to numrich and a part number of #537430 for the ring.  Numrich does not list this as an available part.  Anybody else know where a fella would go about finding a saddle ring made for a H&R?

Thanks

Here I go, ignorant again.  I've got a Marlin 336T with a straight grip and a saddle ring.  O.K. coach, now what do I do with it.  I have a scabbard on my saddle, and I can't imagine a loaded .30-30 swinging around on a thong.  Please clue me in.  Thanks, Pete

Snitched the image from this gentleman's website.  He makes the slings and was the one with the part number.

And yet again I show my inability to read a page when in a hurry and fifteen other things going on.  It appears this guy is drilling and taping the recievers himself.  It certainly is a project to look at, but don't know if and when I am going to get roundtoit.

Here is the same one but in silver that he used. in his article he said that it has a 10-32 thread.

http://www.e-gunparts.com/product.asp?chrProductSKU=533650&chrMasterModel=SWIVzBANDS/BASES/STUDS&idDept=328

I imagine if you went through all the ones listed you'd be able to find a blued one with the same thread. If you read the article he did'nt use an existing hole he drilled and tapped for it.

Yep looks like all the saddle rings in 10 x 32 they carry now are nickled.

This appears to be like the old military sling used in the civil war.
I think in would still let the gun flop around a lot even just walking.
Seems like a regular sling would be a lot safer.
JMHO ::)

I was thinking how much better it would be when climbing a tree, crossing a creek, etc.  no sling trying to slide off of one shoulder.  And if you need hands free for something (like tying up a trail marker or a scent bomb) then you could let it sling.  not like I would use mine all the time I prefere to walk with my gun in hand.

I'm going to have to side w/ the others and agree that there are better ways to sling a rifle.  I'd think that the saddlering w/ a metallic quick connect could really scratch up the reciever.  But It does look cool...
