Wrapping a Pull-through

"How do I wrap a pull-through" a question quite often asked and this is the method I use. Place looped end on opened hand with half an inch or more at the top. Wrap the cord around hand 2 ½ times, slip off hand and wrap the cord tightly around it, leaving loops at one end to feed the weight and about 4 inches of the cord through. Pull on weight to tighten the wrapped cord.    

Then place weight into small hole in end of butt-stock (under butt-plate trap) and cord into larger hole, leaving spare cord to help with the removal of the pull-through later as required.

Bottom is a Mk V plastic/bakerlite variant oil bottle, introduced as an economy measure during WW2. Many makers and variations of both the brass and plastic oil bottles can be encountered.

  Pull throughs can also be encountered with a metal instead of brass weighted end, this was another WW2 economy.
