Zastava 85 sling swivels same as Sako Vixen??
Does anyone have one of these? If so, what is dia of the stud portion? Also what is length and width (not height) of mag spring? Trying to find stuff that's NLA here.

Thanks much

Well I ordered the parts so I am going to find out if they work ... I have been looking for the Sako original parts for years with no luck.

I am happy to report that the stud diameter is correct. As I suspected, Zastava copied Sako. The wood screw for the rear stud is too skinny but that's an easy fix with a wooden plug or just some epoxy. And now that Zastava has a US subsidiary, with an easy-to-use website, you can find all sorts of useful parts there at reasonable prices (for the commercial mauser M70 as well....)
