Uncle Mike's SS BL Nickel Quick Detach Sling Swivels

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.I hope I have helped your purchasing decision of this product.

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.

Great product for the money.

The slings are pretty solid in construction. They are 1.25 inch. A 1.25 national match leather sling will have to be trimmed to fit through these. They fit well on any regular sling stud, and these will work with a Harris bipod. I was a little disapointed with the quality, there was plastic shavings caught in the threads making them difficult to open, and it feels like the screw stud to open the swivel is plastic. I would trust them for really really heavy work, but if your just slinging your rifle from the truck to the blind they are not a bad deal

Clean, looks nice. Quality material.

Pretty good sling swivels. I like the brand, but I was in Sportsman’s Warehouse today and they were selling them for less. Check your local sporting goods store and see if you can find them for less.

I needed wider swivels for the leather sling on my scatter gun and it works.

sturdy

Excelente producto como todo lo michels

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
