Here’s my HW97 in 20 caliber. The sling is Attached to the Forearm on the side. The back sling eye is off of an M 14 that I cut a slot and put it in the stock and then put a screw in from the back for it, Is rock solid. My old gal looks a little worse for the wear, need to give her a little fresh make up. She has one of the Vemon laser guide kit from the Vemon shop that Tim McMurry sold.
