Changing it back to the original side sling mount may have occurred when the rope sling was replaced with the holster sling, and would have taken about five minutes.
By who though? When and where? By Dial Ryder?
Bob, look at my posts. Chances are the rifle in the backyard photo already has a barrel side sling mount. However it appears it has one with an abnormally wide band.
Would the Italian preparers send mismatching mounts which would be awkward due to their discomfort? Are there any other cases where buyers received mismatching mounts?
