Redgum Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I had a near expensive accident a few days ago while climbing into a high seat with my rem 700 over my shoulder, the top swivel decided to fall apart and, under the weight of a pred 8 mod fell straight back. Luckily I managed to grab the gun in time before it smashed against the steps. I check my swivels often but the pin had come out that locates into the gun stud, of course the gun was unloaded having been fresh from my DSC1 and remembering my gun safety. It was a close thing though and now I am replacing the swivels with the simple but reliable ones that just screw together. I never change slings and they only come off for cleaning really. On close study of these swivels the pins are only pressed in, anyone else had a problem with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
