Rifle sling solutions for underlever springers?

[Twinkees_n_Pb]

Looking for slings for my 97/ 77k. Anyone know of a solution to recommend or have one on their underlevers? Thanks in advance.

im sure you could put studs in the side .. that wood looks aweful nice though .. also, i have one gun that has an actual small round parkerized eyelet on the side of the forearm grip, thats how it came, with sling, from the factory, and its a higher end firearm wont say what it is, but its not unheard of ... so a safety hook setup attaches the sling to the eyelet ..

Thanks @dizzums . I just came across these no drill solutions for lever action rifles. Going to give them a call tomorrow to see if they have something that fits or make me one. Lol.

..on one end 

...on other end

Based on where the front is positioned, I think it should be ok/not damage the cocking lever(?).

That looks awesome, let me know what you find out. I’d love to put that on my tx200!

@bocephus ha! Good stuff. Thats def a great option also. Light and multi-use.

@madeintheuk ...will def share any findings

Yeah they work & that's a fine idea for buttstock; but you better use protective no slip compression tape between your nice laminate HW's lever & these adapters. They're going to move, and if it slides backwards it's going to mess up the pretty stock. 
I have no use for these myself.

Edit: and the need for protective grip tape also means potential finish problems under it. 

 

[Twinkees_n_Pb]

Interesting.. yeah that was my concern. Looks like it clamps down on whatever barrel you have it on though, and will still slide about?

Wondering if it will slide about if you put some gaffer tape underneath it before you clamp down (on the cocking lever)...

Thanks for the insight.

I have yet to use the swivels or stock to mount slings to any of my own air rifles.

I have 3 35Es with sling ability and an HW80K .22 Long Range Hunter and even all my centerfire rifles are without slings though I have ONE in leather to use on them all and never use it.

Leave the gun alone and carry it.

I have a front barrel band mount on the cocking lever of my HW97 and it works great. It won't work on a TX200, the ball detent holding the cocking lever up will not hold the weight.

I have had one on my TX for years, the trick is to keep the band close to the hinge not at the end where you hold it. Worst part is having to drill the stock for the lower attachment, however I do like that over thecstock butt attachment !!!

'Carry it' is a given. I like to have the option to sling it when needed... walking the fields etc; a freed hand or two is nice to have most of the time.
