Please measure your sling stud locations for me

[bigalexe]

I am working on an engineering design and need to know some ballpark numbers for the location of sling studs. What I would like to know is the vertical and horizontal distances between your sling studs when the gun is held level and some general information about the gun you measured like if it is adult or youth model. These numbers don't have to be exact but at least +/-1/4" would be nice.

This is open to any and all long-guns that have sling studs mounted in the stock and the fore-end area. This means rifles, shotguns, and carbines.

Also this is open to guns with forward rails underneath the barrel (or Quad-Rails) and a rear sling-stud. In the case you have one of these then please measure vertically from the stud to the rail and then from the stud to the front or rear of the rail, just make sure to please include to the length of the rail and whether you measured to the front or rear of it.

I have measured my own guns already but I only have 2 guns so that's not a very wide variety. What I am looking for here is to reach people with a variety of different firearms.

the vertical and horizontal distances between your sling studs when the gun is held level

I'm not sure I understand your question.

In general, sling swivels are put on stocks where they look right.

For a bolt-action rifle stock, that is generally 1 1/2" to 2" from the heel of the butt, and 2" - 3" from the end of the forearm.

Hard kicking elephant rifles might have the front swivel attached further foreword on the barrel to prevent hand damage from recoil.
Lever-action carbines could be even further foreword on the front barrel band.
Shotguns generally have a swivel stud attached to the magazine cap.

Vertical distance from the ground depends on the drop at heel of the stock design.
And there a lot of stock designs.

In any case, the distance apart, and the distance from the ground when held level is not even considered when the swivel placement on the firearm is chosen.

Instructional Diagram is now posted, thanks RC for telling me I was confusing everyone.

Also credit to Educational Edition AutoCAD 2011 for Diagram creation, there are pluses to being a college student.
