TonyH Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I don't use shoulder slings, so sling-swivel studs get in the way, especially for load-development etc at the range when shooting off a rest + bags. Anyone know of a source for discreet threaded blanking studs that will fit flush? Thanks, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Could you use the studs themselves? Cut them back to almost flush and put a radius on the edges so that they won't catch on anything. Cut the screw slot with a fine hacksaw and then cold blue.~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two difficulties: I don't know how to measure threads, and finding specialist suppliers of e.g. good quality pan-head machine screws is problematic, even using Ebay and other Internet facilities. I suppose I thought that someone like Brownells or B-Square would have the item I'm after, and someone here might know of a UK dealer who stocks them... But I'll certainly pass on anything I discover. Regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty handy and i could certainly manage that - though the finish might not be 100% and I've never done any cold blueing (think Birchwood Casey make this stuff?). I like the idea of a ready made product, perhaps in s/steel... Regards, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 midway sell stainles steel studs ,if you have access to a lathe turn them down ,round them so thier flush and polish with fine git paper ,not every 1 has a lathe but you could cut and grind them ,or file then spin them in a drill and polish with fine grit paper ,would give the same effect ,a lot of work if you have the time but it would make them look pretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
