Hoyt03 Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Has anyone rigged a gun sling on their 870? I saw in the catalogs you can buy one that fits this gun. Anyone try these or have any advice. Carrying this thing all day without a sling gets old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Re: Gun sling for 870 shotgun I have slings on all my 870's. Drilled the butt, and installed a swivel, and i tappe and drilled the end cap for a swivel. I believe you can buy end caps already with a swivel installed now.

AJ Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Re: Gun sling for 870 shotgun Yep, there are a couple otions. You can get a slip on shotgun sling. It does not need holes drilled in the stock. It has loops that wrap around the wrist and barrel of the gun. Like tedicast mentioned, you can buy a new magazine cap that has a stud installed, or you can DIY with a drill and tap. My Wal Mart has them for a very modest price. You can then use a sling with a wrap loop around for the buttstock, or you can drill and install a swivel stud in the butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
