Ok. I am new to the M1A and have a basic question. I sincerely appreciate any help.
Here it is and boy is it basic: The web sling has a hook of spring steel that is attached to the rifle's sling swivels. I picked up a few web slings and each of the hooks looks like it needs to be bent/opened up to slide on the sling swivel. Do you just bend them, which requires some force, or am I making a mistake. Thanks for any help and thanks for looking past my naive question. |
| I bought some surplussed slings from CDNN, all of the hooks were bent closed and needed a slight bending out to make them function again. I shoot highpower with them and they're still good, just don't get crazy, open them up enough to snap them onto the rear swivel. A little tight is still good. |

Yes.......bend it open just enough. Then, slip it onto the butt swivel. Read the "how to".....about the middle of the page.
