1897 sling suggestion

[NORTEXED]

I would like to sling my 1897 without heatshield, but was looking for suggestions. Was thinking maybe a barrel band 2-3" past end of mag tube ??? I don't want to hang anything off the mag tube, had thought about having existing mag band screw drilled and tapped, but they're pretty small.

A barrel band will probably be the easiest approach for the front sling swivel base.

Consider using a leather military style sling... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001NICCRM...e=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B001NICCRM for example.
