I have 2 SxS I would like to have sling studs added. On both I need a stud mounted on the barrels as well as add an inletted stud in the stock. One is a 1970 Ugartechea .410 and the other is a CSMC RBL 20 gauge. Not looking to go cheap. I want a quality job with an emphasis on aesthetics. On the .410 I also want the stock and forend refinished with an oil/satin finish and a recoil pad added. Any recommendations? I live in the Baton Rouge, LA area.

Wolf, if you wish to shoot with the sling on, you'll need a stud welded to the rib. If just for carry, use a slip on sling...Geo

I haven't used them for this, but New England Custom Guns has a great reputation for excellent work and has what looks like one of the better selections of quality swivels and mounts suited for side-by-sides. https://www.newenglandcustomgun.com/Gun_Services/search.asp?CI=296&ST=Slings%20&%20Swivels I'm thinking of adding swivels to a couple guns and would probably have NECG do the work.

Go ahead and put on an adjustable comb, get it ported, add a gold grip cap, and cut the barrels to 24".

Jeez, that is a bit harsh (and, unhelpful) isn't it Mr. Roberts? A guy with an Uggy wants to sling and use it, as opposed to just having it sit in the gun room, smelling like bourbon/cigar smoke? I'll second the notion of NECG for swivels. Classy and useful. Have a different version of slings on a few of my guns. Handy option to have, if you end up carrying a Setter, or, your Dad, out of the woods in their old age. Been there, done that. Other times, too. Good luck. Best, Ted

Come on Mr. Roberts fella is just like most of us he goes deep into the bush shoots twice and always eats what he shoots. NECG seems to carry components from Recknagel AG. Being that capable gunsmiths here are far and few in between the guns might have to be shipped there for service.

What ever happened to the company that made reproduction Winchester Super Grade swivels and bases? Other than hooks and eyes, they are my favorite.

My apologies to the famous wolf. As Ted alluded, I was half drunk when I typed that, the Henry Mckenna was fine. I just hate sling swivels on a nice sxs. The slip on would be fine though.
The 90 degree temps with 90% humidity at 6 o'clock in the evening start to take its toll on one's patience...
