Photo 22 of 37, 1915 (1895) Winchester (7.62x54r)

Note the detachable sling swivel which in this view is mounted in the forward position on the mag body. This detachable swivel is similiar to the Gew88/98 style but is not the same swivel, it is smaller & slightly different, it appears the 1895 Winchester lee Navy rifles issued to the Marines also used this type of detachable swivel & the swivels are for a narrow sling. Note that the sling on this rifle is of the right width but I don't believe it's the correct sling for the Russian rifles, nor for any military rifle for that matter.
