| Cant help you with hooks, but www.jeffsoutfitters.com sell the proper leather thong ones. Have been told the hooks are not designed for use against metal and will scratch the barrels. |

| On mine I turned a bolt down to fit inside of the metal loop then drilled a hole through it for a qd sling swivel. that was on the barrel. on the buttstock I replaced it with a new swivel stud that fit the Uncle Mikes type QD swivels but was built to look like the old british loop.

| moodyholler, I got mine at www.dixiegunworks.com They are $39.95/pair. Well made and the bluing is good...had a little corrosion inside the swivel part....don't think they have sold many in the last 50 years. I soaked mine for a day in WD-40, and they came out great! I used a sling from Trader Keith's. As far as scratching the barrel...cut out a 1.5" circle, from heavy leather...cut a slot in the center...place it over the stud...and attach your sling hook  . When stalking, place sling and leather discs in your pocket  . Hope this helps, ND

| While hook sling swivels might be traditional... I could never use them on any rifle, much less a mega thousand dollar double rifle...

| Try Norman Clarke in Rugby, Warwickshire, England. He probably has some old stock original Parker Hale ones. You also see them on British eBay from time to time. www.normanclarke.com |
