SLING ATTACHMENT
The sling is attached by a detachable sling swivel which connects to a sling bracket on the forward
end of the accessory rail. With the sling attached to the swivel and then pulled back along the
underside of the rifle, the tab end of the sling should be hanging down (See Drawing No. 9A).
PUTTING SLING ON ARM:
1. Open the arm loop.
2. Turn loop one quarter turn in the direction of the sling arm (i.e., one quarter turn to the left if the
sling is going on the left arm) and slip your arm into the loop (See Drawing 9B).
3. Place sling loop on your upper arm either above the biceps near the shoulder or below the
biceps.
4. Tighten the sling loop until it is snug enough to remain in place on your arm. it should not be so
tight that it restricts the flow of blood in your arm or creates a pulse effect.
LENGTHENING SLING:
Grasp the tab end of the
keeper with your trigger hand
and lift it up while pulling on
the top strand (not the tab
end) of the sling (See Drawing
No. 9C).
SHORTENING SLING: Pull
the tab end of the sling away
from you until sling reaches
the desired length. (See Drawing 9D).
STOCK ADJUSTMENTS
To adjust stock, loosen screws in buttplate
sufficiently to allow insertion of the desired number of
spacers (See Drawing No. 10). Spacers go between
stock and buttplate. Each insert will adjust stock length
5/8 inch (.625 inch). After stock adjustment inserts
have been added, tighten buttplate screws to lock
inserts in place. To shorten the stock reverse this
procedure. Be certain spacers are placed so the
molded cleats nest in the molded receptacle.
