Artillery Pic

Looks like the Thompson's sling swivel may be barrel mounted via a band. I was thinking that the Brits. fastened them directly to the left side of the vertical foregrip. The L-drum is a nice touch, for sure.
Mr. Fizzy Stocking Hat is even using a board stock on his artillery.
Does that 32 rd. drum look odd? Almost like there is something wrapped around it?

On the Thompson, they found out pretty quick that the slender rod that hods the foregrip is not very strong.

The horizontal grip of the A1 used a band clamped around the barrel and forearm; you are correct that the pistol grip usually had the swivel inletted into the wood of the grip.

This picture looks like the latter to me.
