I need the assistance of Taylorce1, to post pics because I can't get it figured out. He had surgery yesterday so maybe by the end of the weekend.
Those Springs hold the bayonet shroud tight to the bayonet lug because it's pinned to it, the spring has a pin. The barrel band that holds that assembly to main stock has a spring that is stipple and it doesn't hold very well, I'm giving some thought to drilling and pinning this barrel band to its stipple spring.
This barrel band has 2 sling loops, one for side position, one for bottom position, the problem might also be that this band is not as tight on main stock as it should be....
James thanks for that link, I saved it for later viewing when I can get time I will identify my rifle..
