Re: Sling for a Rossi 92

You can attach a regular sling with no alterations to your gun. Use a tab of leather between the barrel and magazine tube with a chicago screw and a tab on leather under the butt-plate with one screw retaining it and a hole with a ring-loop on the exposed end. http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n5/T...
