1866 sling attachment
: does anyone know how I could put a front sling attachment on añ1860 Henry? The problem is the follower that runs down the cartridge tube limits the options. There is very little space between the tube and the barrel.

Re: 1866 sling attachment
The only option I can think of is the non-swivel type that just loops around the barrel, but I'm not sure it would work well or not.
I've never seen or handle one.

Re: 1866 sling attachment
Take a look at BrassStacker slings. The ones I have have a partial c-clamp that grips the mag tube. They should work even with zero clearance between the mag tube and barrel. They do have a swivel too.Lizardtrack wrote: ↑Wed Aug 27, 2025 7:43 am: does anyone know how I could put a front sling attachment on añ1860 Henry?
