I'm failing at installing an A2 rear sling swivel :)

[DarkSyd]

For the life of me, I can't find the right length screw. I've ordered 2 "A2" screws, and both are 1-1/4" longish...while it would appear what I'm needing would be just under an inch.

The heck am I missing? Or where can I find one the correct length?

Thanks in advance

Does it thread into the sling loop? If yes, just cut the screw down to proper length.

Do you not own a bench grinder, angle grinder, Dremel, or hacksaw???

There are 2 different screw lengths and sling swivel slots. 1.359" and 2.035". Measure from the back of butt plate to the slot in the hole for the sling swivel, if you measure 0.965" you need the 1.359" screw and if you measure 1.683, you need the 2.035" screw.

So I just looked at your photo and the need the short 1.359" screw.

CF has 3 different lengths. CS, normal and spacer lengths.

OK, that made me laugh. Yes I do, but the OCD in me is itchy about not knowing what the actual part is supposed to be
