    Default Best sling for a Winchester 1894?

    Anybody have a recommendation for a sling for a Winchester Model 1894? I'd like something classic, ideally something that looks like it belongs on this old, worn rifle. Distressed and/or tooled leather?

    This is the Wilkinsburg souvenir, and I'd like to dress it up for the Harrisburg rally.

    When I was a kid my Grandfather always had a M1907 sling on his Marlin 336. It looked great on that lever gun so I imagine it'd look good on the 94 as well.

    That is a lovely pice you have there. Personally, and I know it is inconvenient, I do not like slings or scopes on the 94. Call it cowboy nostalgia I guess. I hunted deer for years with my .32 Special without a sling. But, on killing, cleaning, and dragging a deer it is a bother not having one. Good luck in you search.

    A M1907 or a Kerr NoBuckl sling.

    That particular rifle needs a protest sling. Pafoa flag, don’t tread on me, come take it, what ever slogan you like best.

    I prefer to sling all my rifles. I had a hard time coming up with a sling that I liked for my Marlin 30-30. I went with a Paracord sling.

    I found these recently: https://www.amazon.com/Ten-Point-Gea.../dp/B0192MYC0K

    Not classic but I would put a single point on it using a saddle ring.
    BTW, the front sling mount needs to be relocated closer to the forearm like the rifle pictured above.
