ferretmanabu Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I've just bough a semi for pigeon shooting and I want to fit a sling on it. I'm happy with getting a hole drilled into the wood stock and putting a swivel in the butt but whats the best way of getting a fitting onto the barrel without the sling hindering the view down the barrel? Are there any special types of swivels for shotgun barrels? The gun is a 301. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyCM Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Not sure on the 301 model, but most semis have a screw cap (removed for taking off the forend / cleaning) You can buy a replacement with a sling swivel in the end - if not already there. Works a treat. Have fun AndyCM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferretmanabu Posted July 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I like the screw cap idea. I'll have a look for one in the gun shop tomorrow. Any ideas where I can get one from if my gunshop doesnt have it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth a look 'eh LB Do you mean the one that loops around the butt and barrel LB? I got one that does that and wouldn't throw it in the fire incase it'd put it out, interferes with the rib.. can't look down it. Unless I'm using it wrong which is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
