Does anyone have a photo of a thong tied sling installed on a rifle? I’m trying to figure out how exactly it’s installed.

This is the wrong way, that's all I know. The gun hangs in front.

There's not enough bleach or booze to un-see that.

If it has four holes on the lace end, the common way is to form a X and I usually tie it off with a square knot, with the knot facing the rifle. Hope this makes sense to you.

Some people do a double bar (Vertical or horizontal) instead of a X, in the end it up to how you want to do it.

Oh for fucks sake,

Aw hell Jim Dawg, your actin like you need to get laid. Poor ol guy, how they gonna make a Depends that fits under that garment.

He can just use the fucking depends as the garmet, it would be an improvement. Has to be someplace in Europe.

Does anyone make a colored waterproof depends? For the beach! If this idea makes me rich the rifle boxes will be piled high in my wigwam.

It would appear that this thread has been hijacked by someone with an underwear fetish.
I’ll try to get back on topic.
What is the 1” square leather piece attached to the straps?
In the future I will refrain from using the word “thong” so as to not trigger anyone predisposed to underwear weirdness.

Sorry for the hijack That Smoky Mt. rocket fuel made me long time ago. I'll get pictures of the 1" square, 2 slots in it ? Get em on here In a couple hrs. I've dug out two examples of thong slings the way I did them. They might even be correct. If you haven't already, oil the hell out of all the leather.

Hope that helps. The wider one is on a M38 laminate and the other a 1916 Tula M 91. There is a buckle type on the 91/59 I just posted.

Thanks for sharing your photos.
I have mine set up just like your pics. I just can’t figure out the leather squares purpose or placement.

I see it now!!!.
Thanks

You just had to do that right before I am going to bed. Now I will be having nightmares. Thanks a lot buddy!

I struggled with the same question. Right or wrong, I have the "washer" against the stock on the port side. If you get a definitive answer, post it up.

I also tie mine with a square knot. (right over left, left over right)

I wonder what kind of dope that old fart is on to make him think that's OK to wear that.

After seeing your photos, I changed mine to this.

You have achieved Mosin Valhala .
