Kerr Sling Instructions

DIRECTIONS FOR ADJUSTING
The Kerr Standard Extension Gun Sling

To adjust the Kerr Sling for firing, pull upon the outside strap of the upper loop. Unhook the short extension piece and pull through the butt swivel until the hook catches in the swivel.

Figure 1. Grasp the rifle with the right hand.

Figure 2. Pass the left hand between the sling and the rifle, then into the loop from the right side.

Figure 3. Shove the loop well over the biceps. Push the metal keeper tight against the arm.

Figure 4. Pass the hand over the sling from left side between sling and the rifle, so that the smooth strap is against the back of the hand when grasping the barrel of the rifle.

If the loop is too short, pull up on the short loop holding the arm back to lengthen the sling.

If the loop is too long, poll down on the short loop to take up the slack.

If the metal keeper is too tight, pry up ends; if looser pound down.

DIRECTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING
The Kerr Standard Extension Gun Sling

Starting with the short extension piece, with the face of the hook toward the butt, snap the hook upward into the butt swivel, depress the spring and thread the entire hook through the swivel. Then snap the hook into the loose square link attached to the long loop.

In threading through the upper swivel first snap the hook upward into the swivel, then depress the spring and pass the hook through the swivel, bringing it down and in the same manner passing it through the metal link on the loose end of the long loop. Then bring the hook up, snapping it into the swivel again.

To tighten the sling, pull DOWN on the outside strap taking hold near the swivel on the barrel of the rifle. To loosen, pull UP on the same strap.

These directions apply to the Enfield 1917 model and to the Russian rifle. When the Kerr Standard Extension Gun Sling is to be used on the Springfield 1903 or Krag which are shorter between swivels, the short extension piece is assembled as shown in the accompanying illustration.

This is done by passing the hook through the loose metal link and snapping it into the butt swivel.
