Carbine Sling Mounting

[Dick Herman]

This may not be possible, but I will ask anyway. Has anyone seen how a sling could be attached to a 1920 carbine without a wood fore stock?

[lugerholsterrepair]

Dick, I have seen them with a block welded to the barrel to screw in a sling swivel. Or one could fashion a clamp on the barrel in the right place..like a scope ring? Either of these methods would NOT be good for a carbine already built..You could loop one end of the sling around the barrel but it would slide around..either to the sight or to the receiver..I can't think of any good way? You ever end up with the Pat N. Carbine? That one had a fore stock/end last time I saw it.

I am thinking that there were some slings that were leather on the end and they had a loop - it would still slide around, but better than nothing

I would think a sling made with a nice laced piece around thee barrel would not be that hard to make.

Crocheting the lace would be the hard part..but on second thought it's a good idea. The WW1 German Cavalry used a leather sling on lances they carried. It was held to the round/pole lance with a "turks head" knot. This type of knot encircles the round lance pole and when pulled tight it grasps it quite firmly. Put on properly it probably wouldn't slide much.

The Pakistanis' make excellent reproductions of Luger carbine slings, lanyards, holsters, etc. Do a Search on eBay or Gunbroker.com to find their modestly priced but outstanding offerings!

No they don't you moron. Have you had a stroke? Why would say this when it is absolutely untrue?

Rich, Yes, that a good and ready source. I look at it like this~ Why spend twenty bucks on a cheap non precise imitation import instead of a expert hand made precision authentic beauty, that fits like a glove and like a fine glove is made for your individual firearm~ Eric

I had a stroke and prefer your product anytime!!

Eric, Thank you but it concerns me that a fellow Forum member would come on here with patently false information. In a search of both the sites Rich mentions there are NO Luger Slings much less Luger Carbine Slings. In a search of the entire WWW only MY sling shows up. The pakistani's don't know a Luger Carbine Sling from a bootlace and they sure as hell don't make them and sell them for another couple of reasons. You have a $20,000 Luger. No one but an idiot would put anything Pakistani anywhere near a Carbine. I sell a couple of slings a year..BECAUSE carbines are exceedingly rare. IF a Pakistani made a half dozen repro's and WAS able to find any buyers for their cheap crap they would have them for a decade. BECAUSE carbines are exceedingly rare. There is almost NO MARKET! Rare items are like that. As for Luger lanyards? No one but CMR sells what they say is a Luger lanyard but it's almost like a bootlace. These repro idiots don't know what a Luger carbine strap looks like. I guess Rich doesn't either.

I guess I must be an idiot and a moron.

Richard your not 'the idiot or moron!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You A Friend!! Theres a welcomed place here for you and every one and every question or view. A great evolving thread is almost priceless as is this one. I been here for over ten years and haven't been shut up, and yes even when I'm out in the Outer Limits. Type what you think!!!!Say what you feel. Ask who or whom you want my friend!! There is never a wrong question, opinion or wrong answers!! You too have a lifetime of first hand of invaluable experiences and intelligence which would be a waste not to share and have fun doing! PS I like you allot~

Rich, OK..so far that's the way you are coming off..please prove me wrong and I will post an apology. Post me a link to excellent reproductions of Luger carbine slings, lanyards etc. I am a pretty avid searcher..In a thorough search of the WWW I come up with NOTHING. Time to show your not blowing smoke...Or you can go ahead and give me and the Forum an apology. Besides that..when did you become a shill for Pakistani junk over a quality product a fellow Forum Member makes? So yeah, so far I am sticking with an idiot and a moron. I am hoping you can come up with a link to excellent reproductions of Luger carbine slings, lanyards or I can add another word description to accurately point out your faults. I can't wait to see it.

All of that in one thread!!!! A+

WOW!!! I am almost sorry I started this thread.

WTH?

Did y'all get up on the wrong side of the bed???

No I am calm. Just searching for the truth.

When I was in England (long ago), I stopped into a London sporting/shooting goods store. I saw there a sling that had a small noose at the barrel end, and IIRC, the butt end accommodated a sling swivel mounted as usual on the butt stock. The pop-off fore stocks don't really lend themselves to the stable/sturdy mounting of a swivel--and they are often very skinny. The loop would go over the barrel first, then attached to the butt swivel. In this way it did not slip off the front, and no damage was done to either wood or metal. It was quite nicely made, and made me want to get a shotgun just so I could buy one of these for it!

If you don't mind the look of a barrel band, Grovtec may have what you are looking for.

Jerry is making me a replacement carbine leather sling as we speak! I can't wait to post it complete with the gun! Tks My Friend ~~

[Dick Herman]

Gentlemen,

Thank you all for your advice.

The combination of Doug and Eric’s suggestions was more in line with what I had in mind. I believe that in the distant past this combination was in a picture.

A lace sling might be of interest if I was into the steampunk thing. Consider the possibilities, Naa!

I like the appearance of the real thing not some ones wet dream.

[cirelaw]

Sometimes Dreams Do Come True!! PS BEAUTIFUL!!

See my post above if folks are upset that I deleted their postings, I did not, I merged them

[CAP Black]

Jerry: You got kind of into flaming lingo, didn't you. I was surprised.
You shouldn't get so bent out of shape defending your work and your craftsmanship. Everybody here knows your work is great and the best.
Why not put some oil on your back feathers and let stuff roll off like water on a Duck's back - as the saying goes?

Ed: I don't believe you dis what you stated. All I see is White on gray writing that can't be read.

[Edward Tinker]

I merged them and made the font white - so if you highlight it, yes it looks gray.

As a mod you can change my posting and make the mean words show up\\\\\

[lugerholsterrepair]

Just gonna kick back and wait for the links to fine Pakistani Luger Carbine slings to show up, or not.
