pegasus bridge Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 i always end up having crows and pigeons floating above me when out with the hmr,( and then tons of 80 yard bunnies when i'm out with the shotgun) - so... i've picked up a dirt cheap single barrel 12g (baikal) which i'm going to paint greenish / camo type and stick a a sling on it to take along as well when i'm off with the rifle. i brought a set of bisley sling swivels off fleabay - '20mm - 12g said the description' - but i'm absolutley stuffed if i can get it to go on - i can get it round the barrel - but i reckon its at least 2-3mm from the screw even getting through, let alone it doing up so - i'm either after a longer screw/nut or a bigger band - has anyone else had any joy with this? know where i can pick up a neat looking (ie same colour- blued type) longer screw/nut from ? or where i can get a bigger band from ? your advice would be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katzenjammer Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) Just put the Vernier caliper on mine and yes it is 20mm. Not that I was doubting you. Did you measure the internal diameter of the barrel sling? Is it 20mm when clamped up? I drilled my forend and just screwed a stud in tbh but I did have trouble finding a barrel sling clamp for my Hubertus o/u as I recall and had to try a few in the shop. A barrel clamp fitting may be the option? http://ant-supplies.co.uk/UncleMikesSlingFittings.aspx Edited April 5, 2011 by Katzenjammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
