need solution for mossberg 500 front sling swivel

QuietMike · Jul 2, 2020

I have a 500 with the 18.5" barrel, it has a sling stud in the pistol grip, and in the front,the takedown bolt is threaded 10-32 for a swivel stud,

but i was looking for something that would be free to rotate, -I'm sure when i go to screw in the basic stud, it will end up at a weird angle, or make the sling get tangled at some point.
I've seen a couple like this

on ebay, but they are from china which i don't really want, and also it doesn't look like they will 'click' when you tighten the bolt, like the factory one does.
Who has a good sling set up solution

Slip a thin washer underneath to time it where you want it. IIRC, they often come with a plastic washer that will compress slightly to allow you to time the stud. The pictured accessory seems to have the detent ball, so it should click just fine.

I had a front magazine sling swivel set up on my 20" 500 during a run-n-gun class. This put the swivel close to the muzzle...really close. The sling got in front of the muzzle and I ended up shooting my sling in half.

I switched to a single point configuration...

I saw that happen at the range one time. My buddy did the same thing with his Remington 870. Went right through the sling and cut it in half.

I have two 20ga Moss500s. I thought the same thing about my slingstuds but I was able to crank both studs in and was able to get both guns studs completey lined up. Those theads took quite a bit of torque and neither the threads or the stock had any issues. Try the factory studs they work fine if you put a bit of muscle in to get them aligned unless you just really want a rotating stud. GL man

I see these are out of stock but you could easily make your own by drilling all the way through the cap and using a longer shafted sling stud. Make the bore hole large enough so that the threads won't catch and pin the far end of the stud shaft to hold it in the cap. Not a hard project to accomplish.
