How about something like a C.W. type carbine sling that is just a loop of sling with both ends attached to the same  point on the rifle.

Wellll..............
ok, no I is scared to death about that. Maybeso I better just sweat a blade on it? Would that work? Maybe one of them turtle ones?

Now your scaring me! Heat on a barrel always bothered me...and the closer to my face it affects the barrel...the scarier! That tube we call a barrel has a lot of pressure in it when it goes boom...and heat can affect temper. I prefer dovetailng, although if you know what your doing then I guess your way is safe.

Think about this ................ on double barrel shotguns that are pitted beyond use theres a process where the barrels are cut off in front of hinge and bored out to accept new barrels to be inserted with just enough clearance to allow sweat soldering in place . they are turned down to same dimentions as originals and after refinished are unnoticable as being replaced.
Also low pressure centerfire barrels are sleeved with new rifled sleeves and soldered in place .The temperature of soldering has no ill affect on the strength of barrels.But it can make old dbl barrel shotguns fall apart without precautions .
What bothers me with heat is when making matchlocks people silver soldering the pan to barrel as that requires a cherry red heat which to me is pushing the envelope !


Oh ......I like yer little " blanket gun" Dennis  :)

Still catchin up on ma readin...
Just a noose of rope fer over the shoulder, or bigger noose an yer could trow hit over yer head n shoulder like yer bag.
second thought would be sumtin like Steve McQueen usta use fer his cut down Winchester '86. He had a way o rockin it out by move in the grip back n down an the muzzle would swing up n forwords. maybe ifin youse googled ya might find a pohto of the rig.

this should work ,but tou`ll have to modify the gun by mounting a ring on it to attach the sling !
