GrovTec US Inc GTSW23 1" Locking Forend Set for Rifle - Black Oxide Steel

The GrovTec US Inc GTSW23 1" locking forend set for rifle brings rugged American-made steel to your sling attachment. Built entirely from steel with zero plastic components, this quick-detach sling swivel system lets you move one sling between multiple rifles without fuss. The forend stud uses a wood screw for straightforward installation, while the swivel itself locks down tight via a knurled cylinder nut—no wobble, no accidental releases in the field. If you hunt with more than one rifle or want the flexibility to swap gear on the fly, this is the kind of solid hardware that earns trust.

All-steel construction means these swivels are built to take a beating. No plastic tabs to crack when you're navigating brush, scrambling through rough terrain, or working in cold weather. The quick-detach design is the real workhorse feature here: attach the sling to the swivel once, then pop it on and off different rifles as needed. Comes as a matched pair, so you have both ends covered.

GrovTec has been making swivel hardware in the USA for decades, and it shows in the finish and fit of this set. The black oxide steel gives good corrosion resistance for field use, and the knurled nut provides a solid grip even with gloved hands. Whether you're setting up a hunting rifle, a backup gun, or just want the flexibility to consolidate your sling collection, this locking forend set delivers no-nonsense durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this GrovTec locking forend set on multiple rifles?

Yes. The quick-detach feature is designed exactly for that—attach the sling to the swivel once, then move it between rifles as needed. It's a smart way to consolidate your gear if you hunt or shoot with more than one gun.

What does "locking" mean on this sling swivel?

The knurled cylinder nut locks the swivel onto the mounting stud, preventing accidental opening or detachment. You tighten the nut by hand, and it stays put until you intentionally loosen it.

Is this set for the front, rear, or both ends of the sling?

This is a forend set, meaning it's designed for the front (muzzle end) of your rifle. It comes as a pair, so you have two swivels—typically one for the forend and one for the receiver or stock.

What size sling does this work with?

This model is built for 1" wide slings, which is the standard width for most rifle slings.
