tvrc18 Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 I went to the sling install and info page but the link is dead on the site. Any other place to look for the correct way to install the Kerr replica sling on a M1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogwolf Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/unsure.gif I guess I'm missing something. The link on the actual installation instructions was dead when I checked out your "installation" link. My Kahr '27A1 has a sling swivel only on the butt. Is that just pure ornamentation, is there actually a way to rig a sling with only a single swivel, or were we expected to purchase and install another swivel somewhere on the foregrip???

TSMGguy Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 You'll need a forward swivel for proper installation of your replica sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 The link works for me, but here are the pictures for you: http://home.comcast.net/~ralfdog/Misc/sling1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 In the top diagram that Sgt so thoughtfully provided, the left side is the forward grip, but in the bottom figure, reverse things: the right side is now the forward grip. Clear as mud, right??? At least up is still up in both figures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogwolf Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks. That's an interesting link. What a wonderful world it is when there is a whole website actually dedicated to rifle slings! It looks like there was no textbook solution as to where to mount the forward swivel on vertical grip Thompsons. I wonder what option, if any, was originally offered by the manufacturer?

Hawkeye_Joe Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 There was a sling swivel that attached to the barrel. You can see one in the movie "Sahara" with Bogie.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
