Sling swivel hole measurements


Recommended Posts

If it's what I think you're talking about (and I measured mine, they were a little under 2 cm apart), those are holes from the trigger pins that are removed during the conversion. No one that I know of makes a sling swivel to mount there.

 

I made an MI QD mount work, though. Had to drill a new hole, but it successfully closes up that side. You have to modify your stock to make it fit over the screws. I could detail the process if you're interested (or if these are the holes you're even talking about lol).

Those holes on the reciever in the pic are the ones I am talking about. I do not have metalworking equipment, so can't do any custom stuff now, but thanks. I need a second loop for a sling on the rear area so the muzzle won't be pointing up at me, only have a loop up front.

Thank ya sir!

 

NoStyle1, if you or a friend has a hand drill, you could easily do it. Ream out one hole with a 3/16" bit, drill a new hole with the same bit, and install. Covers up the hole left over. Then if you have a regular stock, a small Forstner bit works beautifully at removing just enough material to allow it to pass over the bolts used to install the mount. I'll probably do a write-up in a bit, so if you do find yourself interested, you can give it a go :)
