fjrdocWTB: Remington 30 Express Sling Swivels
Hello
I just purchased a Remington 30 Express rifle. The original Swivel eyes are present front and back. I'm trying to locate sling swivels for the rifle. The "eye" opening is larger than new production swivels.
Thanks.

fjrdocInteresting hoofnit. I saw swivels like that in my search and didn't give them a thought. This is my first foray with a vintage American hunting rifle. Were the hook swivels bent closed after placing them through the eyes?

hoofnityes, they were bent so they were just touching at the curve, probably can find a better example picture on the internet, have used them in the restoration of some early mauser rifles

fjrdocThanks for your help hoofnit. I'll keep an eye open for some. There's a pair on Ebay but I'm to cheap to pay $199 for a pair!

fjrdocI found them here. Price is for a pair. Mine are on their way to me in the mail. Can't comment on quality but price was right.
