BL Nickel Quick Detach Sling Swivels

Good quality

I absolutely love these Super Swivels. I've been buying these for years. They work perfect for attaching a sling to your rifle. I have used these in a number of different capacities. I have attached both leather and paracord slings to them as slings. Here's my take on them, notes, and some precautions: Pros: - These are super strong swivels and I have yet to have one of them fail on me over many years of use and packing my various rifles through the Rocky Mountains and Texas brush - They are simple to use. Just back out the lock nut all the way, push in, and turn to open the locking mechanism and remove from your swivel stud. - The locking feature itself. I love this feature. When you place the swivel on the stud, close it, and then screw in the lock collar, it just spins on the shaft without engaging (sorry, it's kind of hard to explain, but the directions in the package do a pretty good job with pictures and narrative). You have to manually pull out the locking collar while twisting it to be able to screw it out to open the lock to remove the swivel. No ACCIDENTAL opening of the swivel, this means your swivel won't accidentally fall off your gun dropping it. Cons: - The locking collar is made of plastic. I haven't had one break or fail, but this could be the failure point of this swivel. Time will tell, although I have had them for years with no issue thus far. Notes: - The 1 1/4" swivels are perfect for a 6-strand wide paracord sling. I tried one with the 1" swivels and it was an utter failure. The 1" is just too small. - To dispel some of the confusion in other comments on how many you need to purchase, here goes... If you buy one package, you will receive 2 swivels (as shown in the second picture of the package on Amazon). For most standard rifles, you will need both swivels to attach a sling to it. One swivel will attach on the buttstock and one will attach on the forearm end. - For rifles that come with pre-installed swivel studs, this is the package you will need to buy. IF your rifle DOES NOT have pre-installed studs, you will need to buy (https://smile.amazon.com/Uncle-Mikes-QD-115-RGS/dp/B0009TTROW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1481138370&sr=8-9&keywords=uncle+mikes+swivel+stud) for wood stock rifles. You will need to install the studs prior to attaching the swivels. Overall, these are great swivels and I will continue to buy them in the future.

Work great. You need 1 1/4 for a USGI sling if you ever plan on taking an Appleseed workshop.

Don't buy the cheaper ones they don't work.

Easy to use and looks fine. The only thing I didn't like was the little plastic knob that tightens it down. It doesn't tighten down all the way I was hoping it was goin to be mafe of all metal but they made the part that u touch the most from plastic

excellent value. As advertised.

These sling swivels set the standard for quality and strength. I paired them with a magpul 1.25" sling for a great lightweight option on a woods deer rifle. They will last a lifetime of hard use. Money well spent.

Very nice to see a pair of swivels that are modestly priced, are well made and do what they're supposed to. One of my old slings came with an immitation pair of these and I wore them out in just a couple years - but even brand new they weren't as tightly engineered as these. Comparing the two side by side it's easy to see the difference in quality construction. The others probably cost nearly as much as these to begin with. Spend the extra couple dollars, people! Save your expensive rifle from a bad fall! These are very sturdy and fit perfectly with my already-installed studs. Took about 30 seconds to switch from old to new. Nice to not worry about my rifle falling off my shoulder from a swivel letting go. Cheers!

Functional, as described. Never yet had a problem with an uncle mikes product except for it doesn't survive being hit by a slug when the sling is folded upwards :)

Cant find better

excellent product

exactly what I needed

No real issues about this swivel, works as you thought it would. However, my only complaint is that the little plastic knob that covers the metal button breaks easily. You could still detach the swivel quickly but the quality wasn't as great as I thought. That's why it lost a star.
