Here I'm test fitting the flush cup into it's new home
and so for things look pretty good. But when I tried inserting the
mating part into my new hardware, it wouldn't fit because the sling
swivel hit the angled sides of my rifle stock.
|
|
 |
I placed the stock back on my milling
machine and removed the area that was in the way (arrows). I had to do
this at both ends.

New Rifle Sling My new sling is made by
Quake Industries and is
made out of rubber. The sling will remain flexible down to -40 F,
is U.V. stabilized to eliminate fading or cracking and it's adjustable.
Also, the sling will not hold water like foam, urethane or leather
which is a good thing.
|
|
 |
|
To insert or remove the sling you just push the button and it
fastens. But you have to depress this button all the way down to
release it so there's no fear of just bumping it and having it come
loose. What a great design!
|

 |
This fits great now and it still swivels, but not 360 degrees. This is a
good thing because I won't have to worry about untangling
anything or flip the sling around at anytime.
|
|
 |
Here you can see what I'm talking about. This is the max distance it will
swivel before the sides of the stock hit the sling swivel. At this point
I'm very happy with how it fits.

Now it's time to make things permanent so the flush cups stay put.
|
|
 |
Here is what they look like up close. You thread them in using a hex
wrench, which is very easy.

|
The arrow is pointing to a groove that the quick detach
swivel balls lock into. This allows for the swivel action and keeps them
from coming out. This works out for a very strong and stable setup.
|
|
 |
|
I'll be using epoxy to keep the flush cups from coming
out which will make them permanent. This is a five minute epoxy made by
Loctite. I've used this stuff for many other projects and it works great.
