Installing Sling Swivels In Your Rifle Or Shotgun

In this video I show the proper way to install sling swivel studs in your rifle or shotgun. In many instances I see sling swivels installed improperly, (either improperly distanced front to back or offset side to side) which to the informed individual immediatly indicates that they were installed by either a novice or if they were installed professionally it was done by a hack. Not only is such an installation unappealing to the eye but it has immediatly devalued the gun. While a gunsmith will I am sure give a reason why it was installed that way the bottom line is that it is due to poor craftsmanship or lack of knowledge. A business card and a hung shingle does not a gunsmith make.

@@hillsgun my shotgun is Winchester SX4. But, the magazine cap doesn't have the stud for install slings. After viewing your video, I think to drill the magazine cap similar as you do. Than, no need to buy the new magazine cap with the stud that already originally install in it. Besides that, I'm not confident to do so. Because, fear that it will be effected the magazine to cycle reload through receiver. What's your opinion about this?

Hi there. Good video and perfect advice for my project of adding a sling mount to my Mossberg 500 with wood stock. When drilling the butt stock do you drill 90 degrees to the butt plate or to the bottom edge of the stock? Thank you.
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 4 года назад
90 degrees to the bottom edge of the stock. The flat on the base of the stud (between the threads and the attach point for the swivel) should always be flat to the stock.

I have a new 1897 Cimarron Arms Reproduction 12 gauge shotgun (20" barrel") and I have just bought a new 1-1/4" leather sling. I can understand, from your video, how to install the butt swivel, but the forward one has to be attached to either the barrel or the magazine tube with a split band type device (or replace the existing end cap on the tube) to hold the sling swivel. Not sure how to proceed with this. Also you placed some sealer in the drilled hole in the butt. What is this sealer? Dan
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 5 лет назад
Hi Dan: You will need to use a barrel band as you have already stated. Depending on your preferences, if you are going to sling it barrel up or down, and your height you can attach it to either the magazine tube or the barrel, The sealer is tru-oil but any sealer can be used, just used to protect the stock from moisture in the tapped area.

Greetings Hillsgun, I have a Remington 783 (.308) and am wondering if the process is similar on a non wooden stock? Thanks, - M
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 6 лет назад
process is the same for any stock. the differences you may encounter with a synthetic stock is the nut used on the stud for the forend may have to be epoxied in place to hold it in position and provide support on the inside of he stock if it is hollow and on rare ocassions I have had to add material (usually a wooden block) on the inside at the butt for the same reason. Hope this helps.

What about on a synthetic shot gun stock? Machine screw thread stud?? My turkey gun needs a stud. Thanks.
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 3 года назад
I normally prefer to contour a hardwood insert to fit in the botton of the stock where the stud installs and epoxy it in place so I can use a standard wood screw style stud. Be sure to either encapusalate the insert in epoxy or use some sort of sealer or finish to prevent the possibility of it absorbing moisture.
@garrettsmith7949
@garrettsmith7949 5 лет назад
What is that sealant you use to seal the threads?
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 5 лет назад
I use tru oil . you just want to seal the wood so that moisture hopefully doesn't penetrate the stock. any sealer will work but tru oil is one of the normal finishes that is always at my bench.

Why they no color spacer to somewhat match stock ?
@hillsgun

Personal choice. I do them with white,black,or no spacer. This particular stock is plain and has no white line on the pad so it looks best with no spacer.

I bought a Ruger 10/22 Deluxe Sporter awhile back. Decided I didn't like the factory fixed sling swivels and that I wanted to replace them with QD swivels. Bought a set of Uncle Mike's QD swivels, removed the factory swivels and ran into a small problem. I can't get the rear one "clocked" correctly, if that makes sense. What I'm trying to say is that when the swivel stud is tight, the hole in the stud runs parallel with the stock and I feel like turning it another 1/4 turn will strip or crack the stock. Tried both with and without the washer with same result. How would you remedy this?
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 2 года назад
you can slightly counterbore the stock to get the stud indexed correctly, just be sure not to tighten it to tight on the wood or you will crush it and it looks like crap. I think I show it in the video but I have a counterbore that slightly flattens the curve of the stock for the shoulder of the stud to set on and allows me to index the stud. Also do not counterbore it to deep or the swivel where it connects to the stud will contact the wood and mark it. Good luck, Dan.

I have a Remington 870 express super mag with a synthetic stock. Can I drill the back mount with my synthetic stock? I heard that there might be issues if the stock is hollow (I'm not sure whether that's the case). Also, would you recommend using glue to secure the back mount? If so, what type of glue would you recommend? Thanks!
@hillsgun
@hillsgun 3 года назад
On the hollow stocks I usually install a hardwood insert into the stock where the stud will go and encapsulate it in epoxy

@hillsgun
@hillsgun 5 лет назад
Eyeballing center is indeed “Properly”. If you were to take the time to look at a variety of stocks you will find that none are symmetrical so there is no true reference to measure from. The proper way is to eyeball them so the stud is centered at the peak

When I made this video I had the apparently mistaken expectation that if you have the ability to safely drill into a stock of a gun potentially worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars you would have the basic cognitive skills to at least ascertain the size of a drill bit.
