How to attach a U.S. Model of 1907 rifle sling

Since this question crops up every so often, and I found this link, I'd thought I'd share it:

Note that they also give some of the rationale for why such a complicated sling was in US use, too.

The canvas '36 sling that followed on (as a better use of strategic materials) also had application as a marksmanship aid (that's why the lower clip slips on). 

The M-1 carbine sling, however never was intended as a marksmanship dev-ce, only as a carrying strap.

Perversely, the M-1 carbine sling could be used as a marksmanship aid, but on the M-3 greasegun (in asimilar way the MP-5 strap can be rigged).

For those of you with an obsession to pendantic accuracy (we know who we are<g>) my original 1907 mikes 0.120"; my reproduction 1907 mikes 0.1085"--call that 0.0035" or 0.088mm at 1/35.

Hope that helps.
