(I'm finally getting around to putting up better organized posts for my 3D products that are useful for AS shoots and shooters. Putting the sling adapters in this one, and another with the clicky triggers and other demo stock items.)

The links following are to eBay posts and the prices should be the most recent. If you contact me directly on the Forum and pay through Paypal, I take off 5%, or 10% if you order multiple items at the same time.

10/22 Barrel Band Sling Adapter

For owners of Ruger 10/22 carbines or take-down models that have a barrel band, this adapter provides a forward 1.25" sling mount without drilling into the stock.  It slides onto the fore stock ahead of the barrel band, or can be used to replace the barrel band (which is purely for show).  Instructors may also find these a useful alternative to the 'zip tie trick' for improvising sling attachments, as the connection is firmer and much easier to adjust.

Made of ABS plastic in black.  Friction fit, no hardware required.  Slides on and off easily, can be used as a quick disconnect.  Cannot be used for a carry sling unless it's mounted behind the barrel band. This will fit over a Tech-sight front sight.

Price is $15.95 apiece, shipping included.  Available on eBay or see above regarding other payment options.






Marlin 60 Barrel Band Sling Adapter

For the 'tuber' in your life or on your firing line!

Many tube-fed rifles lack sling studs.  The 'zip tie trick' and other temporary mounts, as well as installing a permanent stud, can be problematic due to interference with the magazine.

The Marlin 60 and its variants are the most common semi-auto tube-fed rifle on the Appleseed firing lines, so here's a slide-on adapter for the M60 that can take an M1 type 'GI' sling or any other up to 1 1/4" wide.  This will fit over the stock sights on either a long- or short-tube Marlin 60.  It's snug over the barrel/magazine attachment band and then slides back onto the Marlin's tapered barrel to meet the stock fore-end. Made of ABS plastic in black. Cannot be used for a carry sling.

This has been tried with the name-brand Marlin 60 as well as the 'Glenfield' version.  It has not been tried with the various private-label versions, though I'd expect it to work.  (See wiki on the Marlin 60.)

Asking price is $15.95 apiece, shipping included. Available on eBay or see above regarding other payment options.
