Navy rig assembly

[lugerholsterrepair]

Fabian, The toe of the holster was attached/held in place actually on the Imperial Navy stock by a circular strap . The strap was screwed to the stock wrist with a large steel washer and a wood screw.
Very similar to the Artillery rig but the Navy toe strap does not have a metal stud in the top as there is no boot on the Navy to protect the stock metal.
One other difference..The Artillery toe strap had three rivets at the bottom holding the strap together. The Navy is sewn in this area.

The stock is attached at the top with the shoulder carry straps. The easy way to do this as some people find rigging this complicated it to prepare thusly.
Place the holster stock block in the slot in the stock. Hang the carry strap around your neck. Both ends in front and in your lap. Face the holster away from you and the 4 stock slots will be facing you. Thread the ends of the straps into the top slot, down into the holster stock block and into the bottom slot towards you. Pull towards you and adjust for fit. Pretty simple actually.
It is best to attach the toe strap last as the holster needs freedom of movement to put on the straps.
The stock and holster remain together as the pistol is removed from the holster and affixed to the stock for fireing.
Hope this helps, Jerry Burney
