I had an extra shoulder sling from my AR15, so I bought a #8 eye bolt and a matching castle nut and installed it in the stock. Works really nice for carrying it in the woods. Even though it's a light gun, it's nice to be able to let it hang from the shoulder to allow both hands to be free for other tasks. It's in the paint shop now getting a coat of black satin engine paint. My brother has used this paint on a couple of powder burners, and swears by its durability. It takes seven days to fully cure, but it's worth it.
I also have my 1958 Benjamin 312 getting a paint job with the same paint. Love the satin finish!

Nice work. Looks good!

Joe?
How come you picked that location? Better balance? I Think that may get in your way if you raise the gun up fast to your shoulder?
