Sling swivel stud
A rifle sling attached to a Marlin 25N rifle by using swivel studs screwed into the wood stock, one near the butt of the rifle and the other attached to the forearm.
A sling swivel stud, sometimes called an "Uncle Mike type swivel", is a type of mounting point used for attaching slings[1] and bipods[2] to rifles.
Mounting a stud to a firearm[edit]
Sling swivels can be mounted to a long gun in various ways, for instance with wood or machine screws attached to the stock,[3] a barrel band, or by using adapters to other mounting standards such as Picatinny or M-LOK.
Stud dimensions[edit]
The widest round part of the stud typically measures around 8.9 mm (0.350 inches), the spacing between the flats measure around 7.6 mm (0.3 inches) and the hole for mounting a sling adapter measures around 3.7 mm (0.145 inches).[citation needed]
