Page 4 of 5 - Slings, Swivels & Access.
What are Slings & Swivels?
Slings and swivels are important accessories that allow shooters to carry and stabilize their rifles or air guns. A sling helps to distribute the weight of the firearm across your body, while the swivels and sling mounts allow the sling to be securely attached to the rifle.
There are a few styles of sling systems:
- Single-point slings that allow for fast transitions
- Two-point slings to balance between carry and general carry
- Three-point slings for additional retention and stability
Gun sling swivels and rifle sling hardware make attaching and detaching items quick and easy, while rifle sling swivels, in conjunction with your featured mounts, allow for your sling to pivot with your movements while nearly eliminating tangles through the adjustments of your body.
How Slings & Swivels Work
A complete sling configuration usually includes the sling, sling mounts, and gun sling attachments such as quick-detach (QD) buttons or traditional loop swivels. The sling inserts through the rifle sling swivels, or attaches to the front and rear of the rifle, which allows the shooter to carry the firearm over the shoulder, across the chest, or on the back and still have two hands left free.
- Rifle swivel sling systems allow for rotation and movement without binding the sling or pulling the rifle out of position.
- AR-15 slings and swivels often feature QD mounts and modular setups for tactical flexibility.
- Air rifle slings are designed to match the lightweight, compact profiles of modern air guns, providing comfort without bulk.
Selecting the proper rifle sling mount and hardware can ensure your firearm is secure and easy to carry as you scout it while you are on the hunt, or walking a long day at the range.
