A specialized hardware package allows attachment of a carrying strap to the Ruger 10/22 rifle without requiring permanent alteration of the firearm’s stock. This typically involves utilizing existing mounting points or features on the rifle, such as the takedown screw, receiver, or barrel band. These kits often include the necessary hardware, such as screws, swivels, and straps, for complete installation.
Preserving the original condition of a Ruger 10/22 can be important for collectors or those who wish to retain the option of reverting to the factory configuration. A non-invasive mounting method offers the practical benefit of a sling without the potential drawbacks of drilling, which could impact resale value or structural integrity. The ability to easily add and remove a sling enhances the rifle’s versatility for different shooting disciplines or carrying preferences.
