Going to classify sling swivels into to types: Classic/Old Skool, and all the crappy rest...

Classic: What I call the 'true punch button' type. You punch the button/open the swivel flat block, and rotate the flat block over/attach swivel to the stud, and punch the button/rotate the flat block back and lock up.

All the crappy other junk: Unscrew button/push/open/insert/close/SCREW down. Again, for my $ - Junk. I hate this type.

Having clarified (I hope) the above - Anyone know where I can find available Classic style swivels? I have 4x 1". I need 4x 1 1/4" Classic style.

Thanx!

NO
I have seen nothing but the screw out to push the button and the abysmal plastic with knurled bolt type. There is another that has an odd awkward push the button twist inner and outer type made of flat steel bent to shape, but I have never seen these in 1 1/4".

I was gonna offer to see what I had as I have some. But know very few 1.25" mist are nearly all 1". There was a transition model with metal screw. I liked those but agree the plastic jobbers can be crapola.

There is a number of different companies besides uncle Mike making these today.

Ill do a search and see what I can find.

Merry Christmas

What I could find-



I have a bunch of Uncle Mike QD swivels from the late 70's/early 80's. I'll look but I don't think I have any 1 1/4".

I like these. https://www.boytharness.com/product/titan-qr-sling-swivels/

They make a lot less racket in the field than any of the Talon/Uncle Mike's.
That's why I switched to the nylon ones. Can't recall the brand. Not a big fan of slings on firearms, when hunting out of a ground blind. They always seem to get in the way. I use a sling when I hunt in treestands to aid in hauling it up there and I can hook the firearm on a optimally placed lag bolt.

Good grief! Even QD sling swivels have gone out of vogue?? Didn't they just start making those? They still seem novel to me.

EDIT: Trying not to be grouchy on Christmas, but if it isn't, "new," "improved" and gimmicky, so you can creaate an illusion of being on the cutting edge, ahead of your buddies, it has not place in the market, I guess.
