No drill sling swivels

[JRs12Valve]

I really don't know how to go about this one. I've read and read, and all the feasible ideas seem unsatisfactory.

I am looking to put some sling swivels on an 870 Wingmaster. I am NOT going to ruin the factory wood by drilling a stud in there, and I don't want to buy new furniture.

When at the house or on the ranch, an extension is thrown on, with a 20" barrel. When hunting, it's wearing a 30" barrel.

Is there some way I can have sling work for both setups? If not, I reckon It will be used when it has the short barrel on most often, mag extension will come off if need be. I do not intend to leave the sling on when it's around the house.

I have heard about the Specter slings, but a few folks that I've heard from have actually had their extension fly off under use. Piss on that.

Any ideas that could work?

Cheers,
JR

There are sling mounts that replace the magazine tube end cap on the front end, and for the rear you will need a sling that will fit to the buttstock.

Or you can use this rear sling mount:

I have looked into the mag caps with swivels, I just need to be sure and find one that uses the old ball detent system.

I forgot to mention, I don't want to use any mount that adjusts the LOP, as the GG&G mount does.

If that adjusts the LOP it is by 1/8" at most. Your other option is either to try to find an adapter that uses fabric, or drill into the stock.

I am NOT going to ruin the factory wood by drilling a stud in there,

Installing a QD stud does NOT ruin the factory wood.

Some of the finest & most expensive guns in the world come with them already installed.

I am not going to alter anything factory on this scattergun. Be it changing the furniture, drilling into the stock for any reason at all, or adding a sling plate between the stock and the receiver.

One Ounce Load nailed it.

Probly should have bought a different gun. I agree that a Remington stock is not exactly a collectible work of art that would be ruined by the proper installation of of a little bitty sling swivel stud. But to each his own.
