Overview
Built for securing a sling to a compatible rifle setup, this quick-detach swivel offers a lightweight alternative to steel without giving up a rugged feel. Its forged 7075 T6 aluminum construction is paired with detents for smooth, fast operation, making it suited to hunters and shooters who want efficient sling attachment and removal in the field or at the range. It accepts slings up to 1" wide and is rated to support loads up to 750 lbs when used in a steel socket. At 1/2 oz., it keeps added weight to a minimum, though it still requires the proper compatible socket to function as intended.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires a compatible steel socket to achieve the stated 750 lb load support; the swivel itself is not the complete attachment system.
- Accepts slings up to 1" wide, so wider sling setups will not fit.
- Lightweight aluminum construction is a trade-off versus steel swivels for buyers prioritizing a steel component.
- The product is a sling swivel only, so it does not include a sling or socket.
