views of VG1-5 rifles and slings

I have assembled a number of pictures of various VG1-5 rifles and there slings from the internet and ones that I have taken. These are the internet pictures.

A closer look at the sling.

This is the only picture that I have ever seen with a rear swivel on the sling.

Here is a close up of the sling and swivel.

Another close up of this sling.

These are the rifles that I have photographed.

A couple of close ups.

All the slings look to be a course weave material but of different color lots. Using this as my bases I think I am going with the first version of sling material. I am also thinking about using the swivel as a rear attachment for the sling.

Of the three sling material available I happen to think the first one is closest.

Once again number 1.

We are coming to a close on this project. The end is near and it is time to do some of the final touches prior to shipping out. This is not to say everything is done, far from it. All the parts are made, the fire control group works, most of the small bugs are worked out. The test gun has been sent for the first series of tests and write up. This is the next item on the list of things to do. The sling. The original one were what ever the Germans had. They were run through a ring on the front attachment and nailed to the butt stock. These are pictures of the three different types of materials and colors that I have access to.

Number 1:

Number 2

Number 3

All three together.

I am letting all of you decide. Which material and color. I could also use an idea on how to attach the sling to the butt stock. I don’t feel that nailing is a real good solution but I want it as close to the original as possible.

Thanks for your help.
