Rather than the classic slot-and-pin swivel that needs a screwdriver and patience to remove, each loop here locks onto a stud with a spring-loaded push button, so a sling can be clipped on or stripped off in a couple of seconds - useful when moving between a sling-carry walk-in and a steady rest for the shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set includes two complete swivel-and-stud assemblies: one for the fore-end and one for the butt stock. Each stud has a coarse wood screw thread that bites directly into the timber, with a nylon washer under the swivel head to stop metal-on-wood wear and keep the fit snug as the wood moves with humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRAM is a budget-friendly name well known in the South African gun trade for exactly this kind of practical hardware - swivels, studs, slings and small rifle fittings that do the job without the price tag of the premium American brands. This set suits anyone re-fitting an older wood-stocked rifle or shotgun, or simply replacing worn or missing factory swivels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-detach heads use a push-button release so the sling loop can be removed or refitted in seconds, without tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoarse wood screw studs are driven straight into a wood stock and fore-end, needing only a pilot hole and a screwdriver or hex key to fit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon washers sit between the swivel body and the wood surface, cushioning the joint and protecting the stock finish from scuffing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte black finish blends with most factory stock hardware and sling fittings, so the set does not stand out against a blued or black-finished rifle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a matched pair, giving one swivel for the fore-end and one for the butt, so both mounting points are covered in a single purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:15px 0;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; width:35%; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eRAM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eQuick-detach sling swivel with wood screw stud\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSet of 2 (fore-end and butt swivel)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWood screw stud (self-tapping into timber) (typical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eRelease Mechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003ePush-button quick-detach\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eMatte black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eSteel (typical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eWasher Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eNylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eLoop Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e25mm (1 inch) (typical)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eStock Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWood stocks and fore-ends only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd; font-weight:600; background:#f5f5f5;\"\u003eFitting Tools Required\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px; border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eScrewdriver or hex key, pilot drill bit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFit \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese swivels suit any shotgun or rifle with a solid wood stock and fore-end, where the stud can be driven directly into the timber - think classic bolt-action hunting rifles, double-barrel and pump shotguns, and older lever-actions. They are not meant for synthetic or polymer stocks, which generally need a bolt-through swivel stud or sling attachment point moulded into the furniture rather than a wood screw thread. If the stock already has swivel studs fitted, check the thread and head size before drilling new holes, as the stud supplied here is a one-piece wood screw rather than a drop-in replacement for a bolt-on stud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing \u0026amp; Adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth swivels in the set are the same size, so either can go on the fore-end or the butt depending on how the rifle is set up. The wood screw stud is driven in with a pilot hole slightly narrower than the screw's core diameter, to stop the wood splitting, and should sit flush so the nylon washer takes the bearing load rather than the wood itself. Once fitted, the push-button head opens by pressing the knurled plunger, letting the sling loop swing free of the stud without removing the stud itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo complete quick-detach swivel assemblies, each with its wood screw stud and nylon washer pre-fitted.

Check the stud periodically for any loosening in the wood, as repeated sling tension can work a screw stud free over years of use, and re-seat or replace if the swivel starts to rock in its hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHunters and sport shooters running a wood-stocked rifle or shotgun who want the convenience of quick-detach sling handling without the cost of premium branded swivel sets. Also a sensible pick for anyone restoring an older rifle whose original swivels are missing, bent or seized.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill these fit a synthetic stock?\u003c\/b\u003e No - the wood screw stud needs solid timber to bite into; synthetic stocks need a different stud type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo I need to drill a hole first?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, a small pilot hole is recommended to stop the wood splitting as the screw is driven in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I use just one swivel from the set?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, though they are sold and priced as a matched pair of two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAre these compatible with other brands' QD slings?\u003c\/b\u003e Generally yes, as the push-button QD head follows the common industry pattern used across most sling swivel brands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68109021249765,"sku":"CDX-SS1008","price":522.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/0010\/6725\/files\/ram-wood-screw-swivel-set-1.jpg?v=1794472785","url":"https:\/\/guardsondutyshop.co.za\/products\/ram-wood-screw-swivel-set","provider":"Guards On Duty Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
