sling studs on BC carbine stocks ?

[gendoc]

before we pre-drill for sling studs on my new beautiful carbine stocks....

any of yall did this ?

did you like what you did ?

do you wish the location should have been somewhere else ?

if any yall wondering WHY i want to do this.... its cus i don't shoot paper
i only shoot stuff ta eat. and my ventures are as long as 5-10 miles, sumtimes longer
and it free's up my hands for any unexpected excitement... like figger'n out your stand'n
between a sow and her piglets or you have just about stepped on one of them rattleback cottonmouths.
handgun access in other words, and i use my binocs frequently

of course my son.. the master cabinet maker will do the task
 i'm not into tha woodwork'n thang.

yall got some pictures ?

i thank ya !!!

If ya don't wanna poke holes in it, why not try a primitive sling?

i don't mind putting the sling studs on the stocks, just wanted to know
how others placed them... and the results.
my son can do an excellent job, he has done many for me and
accually built me a few custom stocks and forends

This is my solution and I think it fits the aesthetic angle well. I really like my 1907 slings too and was thinking about a custom length Turner but like the muzzleloader sling look a tad bit more on my 45LC BC.

I made similar sling using cow hide. 
Definitely good looking and does not damage the rifle.

I couldn't agree more, It really fits the baby BC look and serves the purpose. When I plink with my M1A I use a turner 1907 because the tool fits the purpose but the BC is well served by the utilitarian example I choose.

PS When it's your rifle do what ever the heck ya wanna do, K!

The only bad thing about the barrel bands is you have to take the front sight off to get them on

BB's Are classic but I reserve them for my century + old Mausers............. If you like them then please do but Buckskin is my flavor on my BC's.

For what it's worth, which ain't much, I don't like slings on old timey guns.  It's sort of like puttin' a bowquiver on a longbow, or jacketed bullets over a blackpowder load.  Much more convenient to have those things, but somehow, they just don't fit.  That said, I would betcha that the old timers shooting flintlock longrifles found a way to attach a strap, 'specially if'n they had a ways to go.

I've used the primitive sling on my traditional MLs for years, and yes they add to the rifle rather than detract from it.
