I would like to mount a shooting sling onto a K-31. To be mounted properly, I think that the sling mount needs to be on the underside of the forearm. The existing mount on the side of the forearm would, I think, introduce an undesirable torque to the rifle when I'm slung up.
1. Has anyone here used a shooting sling--GI, Turners, Ching, etc.--with a K-31? How did you mount it?
2. What will adding a sling mount to the underside of the forestock involve? Just drilling into the wood? Or into the metal band? I'm handy with a drill--Is this a DIY project?
3. How much will it hurt the value of the rifle? The rifle I want to do this to is not my best quality K-31, but I do like them all and will skip doing this if it would make a collector cry buckets.
