Yes I feel that way at times as well, but I just figure they were done when the rifles were plentiful. Different times. Here is a photo of one of them with my Webley taken a few years ago. Note the green tape on the sling. That was there when I purchased this little sporter. Which ,incidentally, I paid $75.00 for. It shoots very well I should add. I paid a considerable amount more for the Webley. I picture some rough and ready backwoodsman living in Northwestern Canada in the sixties or seventies with this combo. Guy who doesn't have much money but makes do with what he has. Drive a 1950 Ford pickup or an old surplus Jeep. Possibly a veteran of France or Italy with the Canadian Army in WWII. Am I off the mark Nyles?
