Grendel 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 OK guys....what options do I have regarding mounting a sling to my gun with Tony's folding stock and Galil style handguard installed? Obviously, the Galil style handguard doesn't have the sling mount that the stock forend has. I see a threaded hole on the side of the folding mechanism - is that meant for installation of a rear sling mount? What can I do up front - do they make a clamp-on swivel big enough to go on a S-12 barrel, or have y'all done it another way? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Just screw a sling swivel into the side of the hinge, and replace the screw that is holding the handguard, with a sling swivel as well. Tony 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grendel 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Didn't even think about putting a swivel in place of the front handguard screw - that would work great. Thanks Tony! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grendel 0 Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Been too busy working (and actually shooting the gun) to get this done yet, so does anyone have any suggestions on a front swivel that would work in this application? What is the thread size on that front screw - is there a swivel that would screw in as a direct replacement? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elvis christ 451 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 If its an ACE hinge, it should have included a sling swivel (mine did). I'd contact them about purchasing one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the rear swivel, yes, I know that. I'm looking for what to use for the front swivel. Not really interested in a single point setup unless that's all I can get to work.

TonyRumore 1,332 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 The front is M5x.80 which is VERY close to 10-32. Just get a standard 10-32 sling swivel and screw it in the forend. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
