Beeman Chief II air rifle question

[falcon4311]

Hey Gents,

I just received this PCP rifle which I absolutely love, best magazine I've ever used and the price was insane. My question is what the hell do I use for a sling swivel? My other swivels I use on my firearms are nowhere near wide enough to fit the rifle. Do I have to buy special swivels to fit the gun?

Most air guns don't have sling studs or method to add slings.

Gonna have to Jerry rig something. Rear you can do a traditional. The front might have to do a threaded nut or wood thread insert and the machine thread sling stud.

Personally I wouldn't do anything that clamps of the air tube.


Unless you got the syn one which I seen has molded tabs with holes for some.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it is synthetic and yes it has the molded tabs but are quite wide.

Like how wide?

4.14mm which the swivel isn't close to that.

Well standard sling studs are 7.80mm wide and pin for sling swivel are under 4mm.

Oh, I guess I gave you a bad explanation. I measured to opening of the tab which exceeds the opening on the swivel. If that makes more sense.

Well how about that, I screwed it up again thanks to Trudeau's legalized pot. I took my calipers and measured the thickness of the tab, when you unscrew the swivel and open it up the thickness of the tab does not allow it to go in the hole. And once again I did that on Trudeau's legalized pot. I think it might make sense now, I hope.
