Jake.243 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have a section 1 Armsan A612 with an extended magazine tube that I want to attach a sling to. There is a swivel mounted on the butt still but I lost the one up front on the magazine end cap when it was modified. The magazine is longer than the barrel and would not work with a sling even if there was a swivel there. What is the best way to mount a sling to the gun please?

Jake.243 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I was given the option of 5+1 mag or “more” they weren’t sure how long it was so I chose more, I never use it in the real world as it’s too heavy fully loaded but fun to play now and again. With 2.75 cartridges it holds 12+1! Edited February 7, 2021 by Jake.243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Yes I used to load 9 x 2 3/4 rounds plus one in the breech. Edited February 7, 2021 by TIGHTCHOKE Spellage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 No, but if you have a figure of 8 bracket between your barrel and your magazine you should be able to connect a sling swivel to the screw that fixes that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake.243 Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 That’s what I have been looking for but only coming up with American sites or out of stock in the uk, I haven’t looked at the bolt on mine to see if I can be modified though so will check it out! Thanks mate 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 How is the magazine attached to the fore end? If it’s held in place by a hollow end cap as some are, can you not buy a ring of the relevant size with a swivel attachment capability? Im pretty sure such things are made.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Extended mag Tube normally has the same fitting as the mag cap, just with further capacity added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it has the hollow cap mate, that was the first thing I looked for as had seen similar before but can only find in much smaller sizes but will look a bit more, any idea what it would be called?

Scully Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Try this: https://www.ant-supplies.uk/gun-sling-fittings/ I think there is one like the figure of 8 you show in your pic’, but with a swivel?

Yeah, I know what you mean. My Mossberg doesn’t however, nor did my Model 12’s. This is what my Mossi looks like.

Thanks all the ones on there I believe we’re out of stock when I looked but just seen this on there that I hadn’t noticed before that would probably work with my clamp just swap out the bolt, or at least be made to work!
