This steel swivel casting has a round cross section. A forward sling swivel should always be placed to rest against a ramrod pipe. This placement will prevent the swivel from interfering with the installation of the ramrod. Secure it to a underlug dovetailed to the bottom of the barrel. We recommend our #UL-DH-1. The swivel is just over 15/16" wide inside dimension at the eyes, and includes a 6-40 mounting screw. Inside corner measures 1-1/4" at the base. This casting will need to have the casting gate removed.
