Just a suggestion..
I don't know how many, other than myself and Dave that own the "Garden Gun".
Upon handleing it more recently, it occurred to me how practical it would be to have sling swivels on it. After all, it's for "The Garden", and surrounding property. Much easier to sling such a rifle, rather than carry while doing chores etc. It's designed for Critters, pests and vermin and you never know when you'll encounter them. Hence, easier carry.
I love this little " ShotGun". ...just thinkn'..

I think mounted on a turret would be cool.

Re: Just a suggestion..
It’s not just the garden gun that could benefit from a sling. Remember slings are not just for carrying as they are also good for steadying a rifle while shooting offhand.
These are currently the only two rifles I have with slings.You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

Re: Just a suggestion..
Yeh...I guess so. I just don't want one strapped around the barrel. I was just thinking, I'm surprised that Henry didn't install them on this particular rifle. Heck, my BBS came with swivels.

Re: Just a suggestion..
I’m sure you could find a set from Michaels of Oregon that would clamp to the mag tube for the front. Unfortunately the rear would have to be screwed into the stock. Of course you would have to measure the OD of your tube but these might work. Uncle Mikes also sells a step drill kit to help with the stock drilling.

Thanks for the link Hatch. Seems to be the answer. Reviews are good as well.

Re: Just a suggestion..
Just a hint from over 50 years of construction, when you get ready to screw into the wood rub some paraffin or beeswax on the wood screw threads to make in thread in easier and cleaner. Do not use bar soap as it is caustic and will rust the screw.
