Firearm sling attachment

Abstract

Abstract A firearm sling keeper comprises a channel member which completely encloses a small segment of the doubled sling strap and is fixed to the stock of the arm by means of conventional sling swivels at the toe of the butt stock and toward the muzzle end of the stock forearm. The sling strap is free to move longitudinally through the channel member in response to a shift of the center of gravity of the slung firearm. The exterior surface of the channel member opposite to and facing the stock forearm has a large number of small plastic hooks, comprising one-half of a Velcro-type fastener. The mating eye portion of the Velcro-type fastener is located on a fabric and/or plastic patch which is detachably mounted to the user's garment by means of a lockable pin device or fastener secured firmly to, or incorporated into, the patch. The channel member slides longitudinally along the sling, which is held in a fixed position on the firearm, and need not be repositioned to compensate for shifts of position or changes of pace by the user. The sling device thus permits the user to securely sling his firearm without the risk that it will fall off his shoulder when the free use of his hands is necessary. It is convenient and comfortable and permits the rapid unslinging of the firearm when desired.
