How to Attach a Sling to a Sako TRG

Attaching the sling swivels and buckles

• 1

  Lay out the nylon sling horizontally in front of you, then take a sling swivel and pass it through the sling until it is about halfway through.

• 2

  Fold the sling in half with it laying horizontally in front of you with the sling swivel on the left side and the two open ends of the sling on the right side. Since the sling was passed through the sling swivel, then folded in half, it should resemble a double-layer sling now.

• 3

  Adjust the bottom layer of the sling so that it is 10 inches shorter than the top layer.

• 4

  Pass a buckle through the right side of the sling, through the longer top layer and the shorter bottom layer. Push it through until it is about 3 inches below the sling swivel.

• 5

  Pass the remaining three buckles through the open end of the sling. Try to adjust the buckles so that they are equally spaced throughout the length of the sling. The last buckle should have a bottom layer 3 inches shorter than the top layer.

• 6

  Take the lower sling swivel and pass it through the longer top sling with the end flipped backward and passed through the lowest buckle.
