As the title says, what is the correct "sling swivel" for these double rifle studs?

There are 3 ideas normally encountered, leather tie - Hook type or the semi old larger screw type, away from home right now or I’d put up a pic.

Oh there is a Clip Type, bit like a Dog Collar clip as well !

Traditionally they used a leather lace and tied the sling to the stud. It is a very effective connection and guaranteed to be silent.
 
My advice is if you go the leather thong from Els Leather, don’t opt for the canvas. I have the canvas strap version and the rigby stamped leather version on a couple of rifles. The canvas does tend to slide off your shoulder. It’s not terrible but I’d opt for the leather version if I bought a third.

I’ve heard that trader Keith has a rubber weave or something similar in theirs which would be handy.

Either way they are extremely quiet and I like them both for stalking thick bush with rifle in hand.

I don’t know if this is the best, worst or just an acceptable way to tie it but it’s how I do it on my Rigby.

This is one of them & I can’t find a Dog Collar type clip on line right now as in between jobs.

This is a old type QT sling clip that has different size strap sling holders, this looks like a very narrow one.

Anime Slayer APK is honestly one of the best anime apps I’ve ever used. It’s packed with a massive collection of both popular and underrated titles, and everything streams smoothly without interruptions. I appreciate how well it runs even on mid-range Android devices.

Between Blak Rock and Pocahontas, I did not want to say that on the forum. That's a nice Cat!
