Mossberg sling swivels

[bernie]

I have been considering the purchase of an old Mossberg 151M(b) rifle for squirrel hunting. I think it would be cool to scope it up and try to rid the world of squirrels with it. However it has a sling swivel mounting system that is not like what we use today. The sling swivels would have to have a "T" type connection to connect to the rifle. Are these still available for purchase anywhere? I did not see them at Brownells.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like it uses a Garand-style sling to me.

ETA: I probably was mistaken, I am not familiar with the rifle, I just looked up some images, and Garand slings was what other people were installing, but you must be looking for the actual mounts themselves.

Parts house, ebay or gunbroker is where i would look. Or at Rimfirecentral.

The type in photo is on the butt end of my 144. The front is different.

I always search for sling swivels for my 46M but almost everything zi find is either incomplete, in bad condition & overpriced.
Numrich sold them new (after market) but they ran out some time ago & have not brought them back.
Maybe someone here at HR knows how to adapt another type of swivel system to vintage Mossbergs?
If there is we would appreciate any suggestions.

That is what I was afraid of. I guess I will just mount a standard swivel base (not QD) to it and go that route once I have gotten one.
