      Need Ideas For A Simple and Effective Sling For Magpul Rifle Stocks.

      Very nice I like it! Could you flip the buckle over so the flat side faces the hand-guard to prevent gouging?

      How determine if my enfield MK5 Jungle carbine is fake?

      Before someone really, really nit picks. A single one off tool-room prototypes of a "lightened No 4 Mk1*" is squawked about.That's still not a No5 Mk1, but an experimental never accepted for production, but one of several version of the lightened No4.

      How determine if my enfield MK5 Jungle carbine is fake?

      Need Ideas For A Simple and Effective Sling For Magpul Rifle Stocks.

      As you have a 3 bar here's my suggestion. Cut the strap to length, roughly 1 1/3~1 1/2 of the distance between your sling swivels. Double back the front for 1", & punch for screw 3/8"in from the end. (this allows you to access the swivel without removing it.) Slip the 3-way on before the other...

      I have a couple of 1 1/4 3 bar buckles if you need them to set it up. I usually do that then once I'm happy I double back the ends punch the holes & go to the Chicago screws!

      Handguns no longer allowed to have threaded barrels?

      Are Dan Wesson switch-barrel revolvers illegal then? They all have threaded barrels, threaded at both ends even. :tinfoil:
