Midwest Industries Heavy Duty Swivel, Each
The Midwest Industries Heavy Duty Swivel is a reinforced sling attachment point built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability in the field. If you're running a sling on a rifle equipped with quick-detach bases, this swivel gives you the strength and durability to handle heavy rifles, rough terrain, and years of use without compromise. The heavy-duty model steps up from standard swivels with a beefier base and push-button, plus a thicker 3/16" diameter loop that won't flex or fail when you're shouldering a loaded gun or carrying all day over uneven ground.
Smooth rotation is the whole point—a centrally-located push-button and polished ball bearing surfaces let the swivel spin a full 360° with minimal friction, so your sling won't twist up and tangle during the hunt. The knurled base gives you a solid grip even with heavy gloves on, and the polished blue finish resists corrosion and looks clean on a quality rifle. One-piece steel construction means there's nothing to rattle loose or require maintenance; it just works.
Whether you're spending a season glassing from a ridge, hiking steep canyons, or running drills at the range, a quality swivel keeps your sling where it belongs and lets you move without fighting your gear. Midwest Industries is known for no-nonsense American-made components, and this heavy-duty swivel reflects that standard.
