Here is a GunBroker link to the .22 rifle I mentioned above with the Manufrance copycat retractable sling. This one is a J C Higgins branded Sears offering, but it is the same Hi-Standard rifle I had in mind. Hmmm, under your country's firearms law, can you even HAVE a semi-auto rifle?...Geo: < http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=339504133>

LOL, yes we can have semi-auto's. The conditions are fairly strict, but yes.
I 'll see if I can find one of those Hi-Standard's to have a look at.
Fortunatley, my stock hasn't been messed with and the sling itself is in good order.

If all you need is the tip end of the sling that looks like Napoleon's hat, a machinist should be able to fabricate one easily. The Hi-Standard version won't fit the Manufrance holder on the barrels anyway without some grinding...Geo

JJ Perdeau with Champlin Arms in Enid Oklahoma replaced this missing piece on one of my Ideals, I don't know if he sourced it from France or made a copy - but it looks great.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

Oz, I bought my Ideal from the French web site below. Its safety was broken, and I found the part on the same web site just recently. The seller would not deal with me here in the US, so I had one of our former French foreign exchange students get it for me. She is bringing it in two weeks when she comes for my daughter's wedding. She may also need to help me get the second set of barrels I just bought for my Ideal, as things are not easy to get here from France. BTW, barrels were from the same website: http://www.naturabuy.fr/CABONN-NEUF-EN-C...tem-899508.html
