Attaching an M1907 Military Sling

[@bigal7561]

I forgot to thank you for this content. I had put slings on 3 of my guns that are vintage WWII shooters. Mosin/Garand/Mauser...etc. and like them set up as they would have and were. Try to keep them as authenic as possible. Of course, each one has needed cleaning/ffull disassembly and inspecting, all before shooting. Each time I forget how to configure the sling and every time I have to come here to see. I do it and forget to tell you thanks, so THANKS. Very clean instructions and visuals. One of the best examples on KZbin on how to. Keep it up

[@hrfunk]

Thanks Al! I’m glad it’s helpful!

[@R_K_S2401]

Thank you for the easy to follow along video. I could have never figured this out myself. I am mostly a visual learner. Now my Yugoslavian Mauser looks super sharp.

You’re welcome. I’m glad it helped!

[@tonyg4546]

Thank you very much for the video. I couldn't have done this without your video. I watched three that left me Confused and wishing I had not bought the leather strap. But then I saw your video following followed along with you and attached my strap to my newly purchased Springfield Armory M1A standard . Took it to the range today put about 60 rounds threw it. It shot like it should dead nuts accurate. And every man there sit there and stared at this rifle. Anyhow thanks for your video you made the difference and long live the Republic!🇺🇸

[@hrfunk]

You’re welcome. Enjoy that M1A!

[@shrugger1]

Go on a 25 mile hike with your rifle on your shoulder with the frogs on the inside. Afterwards let us know which side they should be facing.

[@sashsashash8203]

5 miles enough to figure ;)

[@Quadrenaro]

I'm taking my M1 hunting next month, so, we'll see how I do with my 1907 sling.

[@hrfunk]

That sounds like fun. Be sure to let me know how it goes.

[@chriss1911]

Don't be a jerk.

[@RPM1967]

That's the way I set up my 1907. The way you show works best for highpower competition. I use a cotton web sling on my AR and a leather on my M1A.

[@danalim9670]

Thank You Sir, this video was more helpful than the other vids in tubeland. This attachment method felt much more comfortable and got me an extra 50 points in my last match🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@hrfunk]

Good shooting Dana! I’m glad the video helped!

[@fogbankbob]

Thank you Mister.. finally a clear, concise demonstration not hurried through like it was a timed speed drill to see who could assemble the sling in the least amount of time.

[@hrfunk]

You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful.

[@thejeepdude4578]

Thanks again. I bought a new Springfield Loaded a few months ago and was going to attach my old sling from my competition AR15, which I set up with help 20 years ago, to it. I did not remember any of the methodology and winged it. Now I can go pull it from the safe and see how I did. I will save this video for the next time. Regards.

[@Lonewlf7676]

I agree with everything but having the frogs on the inside. Not only will it scratch the hell out of your rifle, but you certainly don't want that metal pressing into your hand or arm when tightened up in position. Yes, you may be wearing a shooting glove. You can still adjust it just the same with them on the outside so I'm really not seeing the reasoning behind it.

[@comodice905]

The "frogs" face outward not inward to the stock. You are correct.

This helped a lot. In boot several years ago, we were trained on A2's with web slings, but getting into service rifle comps I've been wanting to transition to the 1907 sling. This sling seems like it doesn't cut off circulation like the web sling does. I'll have to try it. Thanks again. Semper fi.

[@edbecka233]

Thanks for making this. All my Jim Owens books are faded & tattered, and we’re freshening up the hand-me-down Remington 514 (he’s the 4th generation to own this rifle) for my grandson, and he’ll have a kid-size M1907 on it just like his Opa has on my Garand and used on my issue Match M14, XM21 and M24 back in my shooter days. I have them on the rest of my serious rifles as well. I like to order extra keepers to snug the ends against the swivels. Keeps them from dangling around. I also use the TXARNG Team’s technique of twisting the tail to keep the adjustment immobile.

[@hrfunk]

It sounds like your grandson is going to be well prepared. I hope he enjoys shooting that rifle!

[@susanpreston5328]

What a major production. I will gladly stay with a one piece. Just attached a leather one to my 1946 British Army Lee Enfield.

That was a great refresher. I think we could all do with a refresher from time to time. Thanks

[@gregrichardson2528]

I was recently been introduced to the sport of high power rifles. A new friend invited me to the range and I've been hooked ever since then!! I've been like a sponge that past six weeks or so trying to learn as much as possible. I think I've watched all of your videos on the subject. You are an excellent instructor and speak in a way that is easy to follow and understand. This particular video was great. You totally removed the mystery of the sling for me. I'm subscribed and look forward to more content. Keep up the great work!

[@hrfunk]

Greg Richardson Thank you! I'm glad my video was helpful, and I'm even more glad you've taken up high power. I hope to meet you at the range sometime. Be sure to say "Hi" if you see me. Good luck, and take care.

Thank you, great delivery, been using 1907s for 50 years, six on my current rifles have them and I know I never attaching them as you demonstrate here, good times, now I get to see how many of those six rifles I got right and how many I will have to redo. Appreciate you.

[@hrfunk]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

[@Oldhogleg]

It's been at least a decade or so since I've shot CMP matches with the 1907 sling. But if memory serves me right you used the old Marine Corps setup, but it's the new Marine Corps setup that's the preferred version. It's exactly the same as you did, but in reverse so the frog is facing you while in the prone position; the Marine Corps decided this was more advantageous because it's easier to adjust the frog while in the prone position when it's facing you instead of being on the outside.

[@Mac-mu9cs]

If the metal is digging into you while in position your not using the sling correctly. in either configuration

[@natural-born_pilot]

Another excellent video and big help. I also experienced the same frustration in trying to remember how to properly attach a sling to a new rifle. Thank you for the video.

Just watched this so I can install my original 1918 manufacture M1907 on my 1943 1903A3 Springfield. Of course I wasn't taught the marine method of rifle shooting but I was taught by my grandfather the US Army version though since he was a Corporal in the US Army during WWII.

[@hrfunk]

You should be able to install that sling with no trouble at all.

[@Popgunner101]

Thanks for your video! Well done. I think I'll switch out my M1A's strap from the web sling to the 1907.

[@SkiIIionaire]

Well, you're just a fuckin genius. Best vid for this on KZbin.

[@SamplesTB]

Good shit, I just purchased an M1907 sling to go on my Marlin 1895, I've never used one on a lever gun but I think it will work well with some adjustment. Thanks for the video!

[@hrfunk]

You're welcome! I've never used one on a lever gun either, but it should work just fine. Let me know!

[@herrprepper2070]

Coast Guard used the M1 well into the 1980’s... when they welded the barrels to the receivers ... effectively ruining thousands of beautiful, fully serviceable weapons. Anyway... I took second place in the Ninth Coast Guard District rifle matches, using an off the rack rifle. The key to my success was the plain old web sling. I’ve got a few Turner Saddlery slings, but they are simply too complex for non-match use. If you know what you are doing, the cotton sling is as good as the 1907.

Thanks a lot! I just got the Springfield 1903 I've been looking for for nearly all my life. I attached a sling like this one to it but the frogs kept getting unhooked. Looking at how you did it, it makes way more sense than how I did it myself. Also, it makes more sense to have the frogs facing the way you did when you want to hike with your rifle, that way they don't pop out! Thanks!

[@hrfunk]

You’re welcome. I’m glad it worked for you!

[@Helpline5815]

I got lucky, I bought a sporterized Springfield 1898 30-40 Krag and they happened to have one of these leather slings in stock as well. I need one for deer hunting. But idk if it was the 1887 or one of the later variants, they all look similar. But I sold it to my dad who always wanted one. I now own a Marlin 336 SC that also has a leather sling that has a similar style, but it carries metal clamps to attach to swivel rings. I took off the modern swivel attachments that were on the clamps so I could use the sling on my rifle.

glad you said it was a variation by a veteran. there are many ways to do this, but only one taught by army

[@hrfunk]

So I've heard. I actually prefer the method I showed in the video. I'm sure there are others who prefer different ways of doing it.

[@stevebrown1343]

Definitely the clearest explanation I have seen yet. I would like some clarification though on proper tensioning (Length) as a shooting sling. I am having some trouble getting it adjusted correctly. BTW, I am using the sling on a Savage Mark II for rimfire sporter cometition. Thanks! Steve

[@hrfunk]

The rule is to get the sling as tight as possible without having it effect your shooting platform. If the sling is too tight for you to get into a good position, you need to loosen it a bit. If it's so loose, that it provides little or no support then it needs to be tightened. There is a little trial and error involved in getting the sling just right, and it needs to work in conjunction with your shooting position. No matter how you tension the sling, it will not correct for a bad position. So, again, everything has to work in harmony with everything else! Hope this helps!

[@stevebrown1343]

hrfunk : thanks! I did just that this morning between thundershowers. I'll email you 2 pics. one is before adjustments. the second is after. 20 rounds, 15 - bulleyes with 5 or 6 x @50 yards with my 22lr. I guess it works! thanks for the excellent advice. steve

Sorry, I thought I could upload a pic but can't find a way to do it. Been shooting less than 2 years but given my proximity to Camp Perry (40-miles to the east), I can't resist the urge to participate in the National Matches.

[@hrfunk]

Steve Brown no problem. Shoot me an email at [e-mail]. I'd like to see how you did! Also, there is nothing in the shooting sports that is quite as cool as shooting at the National Matches. I liken it to going to the Super Bowl, being able to go down on the field and play.

It’s quite steady. Give it a try from a good position and I think you’ll be happy!

[@E.L.RipleyAtNostromo]

I setup my sling the same way, but was taught to have one of the keepers above the upper strap, so there’s a bit of a gap between them as the top one comes down onto the extra length of strap that sticks out. Hard to describe. It serves to keep the upper frog in place. Bottom line the keepers don’t touch each other. But I’ll try it this way as well. Appreciate the clear direction.

@hrfunk lots of keyboard warriors complaining about it being the "wrong way" here's some easy advice. There's a lot of things soldiers do that is different or not exactly the way the book says. Years of trial and error as well as finding what works best for you is where the stuff that works comes from. He even stated that this is a different way to do it. Hes not humping this thing 12 miles through the woods. Nor is getting ambushed a close range or assaulting a village. Hes using this set up for competition shooting. If he was carrying this every single day he might find a better method but for his purposes this is what works. No need to lose your minds on the guy.

[@Mac-mu9cs]

I see many saying that Hrfunks version of J. Owens book sling configuration is "wrong" Yet no one can point out the differences good or bad. I have used both methods being what I was told is the "competition" configuration and then the "army" configuration as seen here per CMP web site old.thecmp.org/training-tech/armorers-corner/1907-sling-installation/ I find Hrfunks demonstration to be the best way for me shooting cmp/nra high power The "military" way I find the keepers will walk loose. if anyone is using the 1907 sling and the hooks are rubbing the back of your hand or arm, your just doing it wrong

[@hrfunk]

Thanks Mac. Interestingly, Jim Owens said people used to tell him he was doing to wrong too. In response, he told them it was not wrong, it was just different. All I can really say is his method works well for me.

I don't think I have done a video for the canvas swings. I'll see if I can get one up.

[@wildturkey1186]

pro tip pull the tail stock frogs through and make a loop and hook them. then pull the hooks and loop up, attach the frogs to itself and then pull them against the the tail stock swivel. This will give a mechanical pinch point so the short sling stays attached to the rifle. The way you have it in the video you can have the frogs come undone and pull through and you can fine yourself laying on the hooks in prone. Ouch! You will know what I mean if you ever had that happen to you.
