Saddle ring

A saddle ring is a metal ring attached to the receiver of a rifle or carbine allowing it to be tied to a saddle or used with a special sling.cite web |url=http://www.midwayusa.com/guntecdictionary.exe/showterm?TermID=4194 |title=GunTec Dictionary definition of "saddle ring" |publisher=Midway USA |accessdate=2007-09-07] cite web |url=http://www.rollanet.org/~stacyw/us_1885_carbine_sling.htm |title= US 1885 Carbine Sling |accessdate=2007-09-07] Saddle rings could be attached directly to the firearm, or in some cases to a saddle ring bar, which allowed the saddle ring to slide along the action, such as on the British Enfield P1856, a short cavalry version of the Pattern 1853 Enfield used in the American Civil War.cite web |url=http://aotw.org/weapons.php?weapon_id=23 |title=Pattern 1856 Enfield Carbine |accessdate=2007-09-07] cite web |url=http://www.midwayusa.com/guntecdictionary.exe/showterm?TermID=4195 |title=GunTec Dictionary definition of "saddle ring bar" |publisher=Midway USA |accessdate=2007-09-07] Saddle rings are most commonly found on lever action rifles and other firearms of the late 1800s and early 1900s that were suitable for use on horseback. The muzzle of the rifle was placed in a carbine socket. The idea behind using the saddle ring, and its carbine sling, is to allow the mounted soldier to never be sepperated from his weapon.
