| FOUND ONE, DELETE
I know that the loop isn't a piece that goes missing often but my front sling loop is missing as the bracket must of bent back allowing it to fall out. I believe the front/rear loops are the same size. A receiver end cap with loop/ring would also do if you have one.
I've looked into finding one off a real sterling but from what I can tell the real ones only had the loop on the back and the front sling clip was just clipped into a hole in the outer perforated barrel cover.
Thanks.

| I carrried the real thing for yrs and it had no front sling hoop (no-ones did) so sling connected through the barrel shroud. | |

| There were differences between the British and Canadian versions of the Sterling, The British did not have a front sling loop but had bayonet fittings, the Canadian had a front sling loop but no no bayonet fittings.

| Yeah, it's based on the Canadian C1 type SMG like the box says. http://www.modelguns.co.uk/images/sterlingmgc1.jpgThere are very few photo's of the real steel up on the web and none that show the side of the front sling mount. There are a bunch of differences other than the sling mount between British/Canadian Sterlings. | |

| Despite the differences both versions were guaranteed to: 1.Get all tangled up in Camo Netting. 2.Whilst kneeling over a wounded man it would slide off the medics shoulder and smack him in the face :-(
I am sure Claymore could thing of some more :-) | |
