Elmer Fudd. Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'm trying to find a decent barrel clamp sling swivel to fit on a Weihrauch HW95k with a barreldiameter of 16mm. I bought a Bisley thinking it would be OK, but it is too tight and I don't wantto mark the barrel when sliding it on and I wasn't particularley impressed with the quality. Are split band QD clamps worth considering and what could you use to wrap the barrel with underthe clamp to protect the bluing? Any suggestions/recommendations please gents? P.S. I can't find anything in the search facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAS 15 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) I cannot help you with what clamp to use but to protect your barrel I would suggest a product called Cohesive Bandage. I use it covering my barrel and moderator to protect them from scratching. It is a stretchable bandage that only sticks to itself and it does not leave any adhesive or marks on your gun. You can get it in various width and colours including DPM. Hope this helps. https://www.millermedicalsupplies.com/first-aid/bandages-dressings/cohesive Edited April 7, 2017 by SPAS 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find anything in the search facility. You could try a thin strip of rubber? That'd give a good bit of compression and not slip properties, without scratching the barrel? As to actual fixings, I'm not sure. Perhaps having a browse at http://www.bestfittings.co.uk/ would provide something? or airgun spares: http://www.airgunspares.com/store/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmer Fudd. Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 SPAS 15 I can't get your link to work. I get a "connection error" and "internet explorer cannot display the web page" messages. Thanks all the same. Chris John Nibbs only seems to stock Bisley barrel clamps and Best Fittings only do stud fittings for pcp rifles, nothing for break barrel rifles. Thanks for your reply and I can lay my hands on some rubber strip so hopefully that is one problem sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
