Benefits in the Field
Hands-Free Carry
Long walks to the stand or stalks through brush are easier with a sturdy sling. Properly installed studs give you confidence to carry over shoulder or across the chest.
Faster, Steadier Shots
A sling can act as a shooting aid for kneeling, sitting, or standing positions. Solid studs ensure the sling holds tension without shifting.
Cleaner Transport
In boats, trucks, and UTVs, a secured sling prevents accidental drops and keeps the muzzle oriented safely during travel (always follow safe handling practices).
What’s Typically Included
Front and rear sling swivel studs (low-profile heads)
Mounting hardware (wood screws and/or machine-thread posts and nuts, depending on stock type)
Spacers/washers as needed by the kit configuration
Basic instructions for typical wood- and synthetic-stock installations
(Exact contents vary by production run and firearm type. Verify the kit contents match your stock configuration.)
Installation Overview (High-Level)
Confirm Stock Type: Wood vs. synthetic and whether the fore-end is solid or hollow.
Mark Locations: Typical placement is fore-end centerline and buttstock toe-line (avoid thin areas).
Pilot Holes (Wood Stocks): Drill carefully to recommended diameter/depth; avoid splitting.
Install Studs: Apply steady torque; do not overtighten. For hollow or synthetic stocks, use the machine screw + nut style with backing hardware if included.
Verify Alignment: Ensure studs are square to the stock and swivels articulate freely.
Attach Swivels & Sling: Test full range of motion and perform a safe function check before field use.
If you’re unsure about drilling or backing access on your stock, consult a qualified gunsmith.
Compatibility Notes
Rifles: Suitable for most bolt-action and many semi-auto hunting rifles with sling-ready stock areas.
Shotguns: Popular for pump and semi-auto field guns; some platforms may require barrel bands or magazine-cap adapters (sold separately).
Swivels: Works with Uncle Mike’s and many third-party detachable swivels sized to the stud and sling width.
Synthetic Stocks: Use the provided machine-thread + nut style hardware (when applicable) or an appropriate insert to prevent pull-out.
Care & Maintenance
Check Tightness: Inspect stud tightness periodically, especially after temperature swings or heavy carry days.
Protect Finish: Wipe with a lightly oiled cloth after wet hunts.
Inspect Swivels: Ensure locking gates (on detachable swivels) close fully before each outing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit my synthetic stock?
A: Yes, most synthetics are supported. Use the machine-thread and backing hardware when available, or appropriate inserts. Avoid wood screws in thin synthetic shells.
