The Kns Precision Parkerized Front Swivel Stud is a no-nonsense sling attachment point for modern and legacy rifle builds alike. Whether you're running a free-float handguard or the classic A-2-style setup, this front stud gives you a secure, period-correct way to mount a quick-detachable sling without permanent modifications to your rifle. The parkerized finish matches mil-spec rifle furniture and won't stand out against a traditional build—or add unnecessary visual noise to a tactical one.
Most free-float tubes require you to drill a single mounting hole to install this stud, a straightforward task if you have a drill press and the right bit. The cross-drilled mounting holes let you orient the stud vertically for under-barrel carry or to the side based on your sling setup and rifle profile. That flexibility matters when you're fine-tuning how your rifle handles in the field, at the range, or from a sling carry.
Designed to work with standard 1-1/4" quick-detachable slings, this front stud pairs with a matching rear QD stud or your existing stock setup to give you a fully adjustable, rapid-deploy sling system without guesswork. If you're building or upgrading a rifle and want a sling attachment that looks right, functions reliably, and doesn't require permanent gunsmithing, this is a solid choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What handguards will this front stud work with?
This stud is designed for free-float tubes and A-2-style detachable handguards. If you have a free-float handguard, you'll need to drill a single mounting hole; A-2 handguards have existing attachment provisions.
What sling size does this accept?
The stud is designed for 1-1/4" quick-detachable slings, the standard width for modern rifle slings.
Can I mount this vertically or horizontally?
Yes. The cross-drilled mounting holes let you orient the stud vertically for under-barrel carry or to the side, depending on your preferred sling configuration.
Does this require permanent modifications to my rifle?
If you're using a free-float handguard, you'll need to drill one mounting hole. A-2-style handguards typically do not require modification. This is a much less invasive install than traditional permanent stud attachment.
