Seems like I see tons of older German shotguns with sling mounts but the slings are never there. Curious as to why. Do they just deteriorate too fast? Or maybe they didn't come with gun when new? I see lots of rifles such as Swiss k11/k31 etc that come with original slings.

Just the product life of the sling. Too, as a War Trophy, generally Americans didn't cotton to a sling.

Mike 325, It's like a scope , slings don't come on new shotguns so you can buy whatever you want, not what someone else wants you to have. Mike

Cheers,
Raimey rse That makes sense to me. Whenever I think of European shotguns on a sling, I think about the coerleone family in the Godfather movies. When they went back to Sicily to hide out the bodyguards with black vests always had shotguns (I think) with slings on their shoulders.

I used to have a thin m1 garande style one on a gun as a kid and that thing always ate into my shoulder. I hated that darn thing.

The American way pertaining to a War Trophy is to remove the sling & grind off the sling swivels as soon a possible......

Corleone, from the town in Sicily. Their cut-down shotguns are called "Luparas" and one way you can determine their feudal natures lies in the height of the bushes and the stone wall fences-- waist high, to allow a kill shot to be fired by a Gabone with the Lupara- deadly stuff. RWTF

RWTF Wow cool never heard of those. The one on this wiki page kinda reminds me of the Ithaca car and burglar. A person could make one if they got the proper SBS stamp but prob not worth it unless it's a shotgun that is otherwise a basket case (to me anyway, Someone else might think it's well worth it). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupara

I noticed these guys make some pretty cool cut down SxS shotguns, some with a stock and some without. https://paladinarmory.com/newpage11.htm
