NoStyle1 0 Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I ordered a sling swivel but the holes for the screws are too far apart relative to the holes in the reciever. Reciever holes are 1.8 cm apart, measured from the middle of the holes. What sling swivel do I get? Bulgarian, Romanian, etc.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Inebriated 31 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) 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).

NoStyle1 0 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
