I would like to attach a sling to this stock. It has 2 holes over the pistol grip that appear to be mae for attachment of a sling swivel, but the attachment pin for the sling swivels I have are too short to reach through both holes.

Is a special swivel needed for the rear end of this stock?

I have a factory folder that uses this Blackhawk sling adapter. 35649BC6-C784-4351-AB4F-52055153892D.jpeg
 
Is the attachment pin longer than other attachment pins on sling swivels?
 
It’s my only sling swivel!Lol 01BB419A-FEE3-4DE1-A13C-9218F3CBB13F.jpeg
You want a measurement? The Samson stock is supposed to be a factory clone, should look just like mine.

That pistol grip is plastic. Not sure how it would tolerate a sling swivel working back and forth.
There are other sling swivel studs that could be attached to the wooden stock.

The attachment point is above the plastic grip.
 
Attachment point is way above the grip. Balrog, if your mounting is like mine, one heavy boss with a small boss under it, the pin only goes through the top boss. The swivel plate swings between the upper and lower bosses.

Yep, that was my problem. I was trying to cross both bosses with the swing swivel pin. Thanks.
