heavenknowsRifle Sling Hooks for Sling Eyes
I´m in search for a source or good idea.
The Type A Mauser´s for example have those slingeyes , but there are no fitting hooks for the rifle sling to attach.
I know Winchester made them in days gone by.

kcstottDo you mean like the snap hooks used on Korean and Viet-Nam era rifles. It's a sheet metal hook that when slid over the loop snaps in place

heavenknowsNo, not the snap type . Must be a simple hook made from an adequate strong wire and little tension so it will slip into the eye.
