Getting a browning bbr and would like to replace the factory flush mount sling swivels with the more traditional protruding ones... i don't think they are as secure and I would like the option of putting a bipod on when I'm at the range. Does anyone sell kits to do this ? Or am I stuck with them unless I feel like getting creative.
replacing pachmayr flush mount sling swivels
- Thread starter polskiogorki
- Start date
The Pachmayr flush mounts are really oversize compared to conventional QD swivel studs, 1/2" in diameter. I have them on my 9.3mm and I hate them. I'd love to get rid of them, but there's no way to plug the holes so it wouldn't show.
Yes, my issue exactly. Someone should offer a direct screw in replacement for different applications!
I'm going to try and find something with the same size and thread that I can drill and tap if my search for something factory made doesn't turn up anything

If you add these you can use standard QR swivels

I think Brownells carry's both.

Yes that is very close to what I am looking for. Will look into them more. Thanks!

You can order right from grovtec or try amazon, or pm me I might have a couple to part with for a fee. As long as the ones installed in your rifle are to the same size as the grovtec flush cups. 
Why not install a single stud 2" behind the current one.
Then you could use your bipod with a Uncle Mike's sling swivel and the factory sling attachment to the rear.
I would be only a little different that a rifle with two studs and if done right would not really be bubba'ed.

This will be my final option ... I don't want to use the pachmayr ones at all... I have heard stories of un wanted swivels poping out and damaging the gun. Going to try the grovtec first. Pm sent Silvertip.
