Shoulder Strap Mount & Use
I worried about hooking the strap to the tank might cause too much stress on the frame so I came up with this:
I put my hand up thru the lower right loop around to the left of the padded end and under the fore end grip. With the strap around my upper ARM I have steady tri-angular hold from upper ARM to rifle and with elbow held down against ribs, a good light tri-angular hold from elbow to rifle to shoulder.
I made a heavy metal ring to hold the strap out just a little from the rear hole in the frame. The AR-15 type grip allowed access to the hole.
I may need to upgrade to the WOKGARD-15 to prevent frame flex.
Any criticism and suggestions would be appreciated.

Randy,
I’m learning that there is a big difference in slings. Mine, an Outdoor Connection made in Waco Texas just doesn’t seem to extend far enough to do a port arms or military patrol carry.
If I got a longer sling I wonder if I could get my triangular hold wrapping it around my left upper arm?
My powderburners are tactical (CAR-15 type) in nature.
When pesting I carry my rifle slung across my chest with the muzzle slightly down makes my shooting way quicker.
If I sling it over my back I tend to ding the rifle on posts and such.

That looks good Randy 💡
It also brings up another question.
❓ ❓ ❓
I would like to hear discussion of what are the considerations involved in carrying the rifle on a sling with the muzzle down or should it be muzzle up ❓ I didn’t get any rifle training in Boy Scouts or The Civil Air Patrol so I’m sure there is a right way, a wrong way, and the Navy way.

This is how I did my .25 Condor sling as stressing the bottle collars concerns me.

i have my moments 😎
Sounds like a winner longhunter 💡
May need to avoid the collar set screws but one of those should probably go in from above like Roachcreek did.
I’ll buy one ❗
have to agree, the further away, the more leverage. what about a side mount? drill, tap a hole through the side of the lower wing, below the valve collar. food for thought.
What about getting a sling stud and tap a hole through the back bottom side of the grip. Then get a nut that will fit the stud.
We’re still working with an aluminum frame. IMO, a mount any distance from the frame could cause it to twist with a little pressure on the hold.
Oh that sucks. I saw the battery holder one and thought of trying to make a pellet holder out of it.

benneeb0y,
The Hogue grip had some kind of insert but supposedly it fell out to easy so I didn’t get it.
That’s a very good idea but would throw off the ease of the triangular hold.
But, if sturdy enough long grip bolt with sling stud end were available that would make for a good carry sling mount. Then if we could find a sling with quick disconnect, we could switch positions and connect to the frame for best hold for shooting.

Yeah guess not the best for the tri hold. I wonder if there is an Hogue grip insert that could be modded for this?

Neat idea for the trihold.
Nice work Lurker!!
Interesting. What about a extra long grip screw with a sling stud on it?

You may need to add some sling material as slings really can add to accuracy.
