I've been kicking around the idea of putting a sling on our HW97K for quite a while now, but I haven't come up with what I think would be a decent way of going about it.
If I attach the front swivel to the cocking lever, as heavy as this gun is, I'm concerned about it causing problems with the lock up mechanism for it at the muzzle. So, that pretty much only leaves a side mount.
I actually kind of like the idea of a side mount, but where would be a good place to put the rear swivel so I don't end up getting the swivel and sling in my face every time I shoot it?
Any photos and advice from any of you who have installed a sling on an HW97K would be *greatly* appreciated.
Also, what experience have you had relating to accuracy / POI shifts that have come about as a result of installing a sling to this heavy Hun?
