Mr. Frazier. I find it very difficult to use the rifle with a sling at all. The sling is too short, actually, to do more than put your arm through it.
Mr. McCloy. You get quite a leverage with that?
Mr. Frazier. Yes, sir, you do, in one direction. But it is rather awkward to wrap the forward hand into the sling in the normal fashion.
Mr. McCloy. This gives a pretty tight——
Mr. Frazier. It can be used. But I don't feel that actually the position of this broad piece is of too much significance as far as use of the sling goes.
Mr. McCloy. But certainly the sling would tend to steady the aim, even in this crude form?
Mr. Frazier. Oh, yes.
Mr. McCloy. It would make more easy an offhand shot than if you didn't have a sling? It would make it more accurate?
Mr. Frazier. It would assist more in offhand than any other type of shooting, yes.
Mr. Eisenberg. Returning to the scope for a moment, on the basis of the experiment, so to speak, which you had Klein's conduct, would you form an opinion as to whether the telescopic sight was mounted on Exhibit 139—was likely to have been mounted—by Klein's, or likely to have been mounted subsequently?
