M70 super grade swivel suggestions - 07/21/10 09:19 PM
My son drew a Elk license for Montana this year and it will be a good place to use the new to me old 1937 M70 in 300 H&H. And if he can be successful and take a criter with it then I can retire it.
Anyway I digress abit. The rifle has the wider super grade swivel bases and I am exploring options for a sling. Some I have thought of are:
1. Buy original Winchester sling swivels that fit the wider base of the swivels or aftermarket if avaiable. I do not know if they are.
2. Make my own
3. If something is available, replace the originals with newer narrow swivels that with fit a todays standard sling swivel.
4. modify the originals by machining them narrower to fit today's standard
Now before anyone goes off the deep end I also do not think much of some of the options.
However if you have an idea I would like to listen to it.
Thanks
