QUICK DETACHABLE SLING SWIVEL
1. When attaching any QD swivel to its base, make sure the rotating gate is
FULLY ENGAGED on the pin and there is no gap between the rotating gate
and the swivel body. (See illustration below). A QD SWIVEL NOT ENGAGED
CAN ACCIDENTALLY BECOME DETACHED FROM ITS BASE.

To Attach Swivel To Base:

c. Insert pin into base.
d. Rotate gate until pin enters hole in gate, then release plunger.
e. Make sure spring plunger fully engages pin, leaving no gap between gate
and swivel body.
f. To detach swivel, reverse the above procedure.
2. Each time you use your rifle with a sling, be sure the QD swivel is fully
engaged. Also, be sure to check the swivel periodically in the field to make
certain it is fully engaged.
3. Brush, tree limbs or other obstructions can pull at the swivel, sling, carry
strap, scope or the firearm itself. If this happens, always check the swivel
IMMEDIATELY to be sure it is fully engaged.
4. NEVER CLIMB OVER A FENCE, JUMP A DITCH, SCALE STEEP HILLS OR
ROCKS, OR CLIMB A TREE OR TREE STAND WITH A LOADED FIREARM.
PRACTICE THE RULES OF FIREARM AND HUNTING SAFETY.
(See pp. 35 - 38.)
Failure to follow these safety rules could result in a swivel accidentally becoming
detached from its base. If this happens, the firearm could fall, causing damage to
the firearm or scope, and even accidentally discharge resulting in injury or death
to yourself or others.
