How To Put A Sling On A Shotgun Without Swivels? 2 Easy Methods

If you need to put a sling on a shotgun without swivels, you can use a few methods.

Method 1: Using Paracord

1. Cut a length of paracord to the desired length of your sling.
2. Tie one end of the paracord around the barrel of the shotgun, just behind the forend.
3. Wrap the paracord around the barrel and forend several times, making sure to keep it tight and secure.
4. Tie the other end of the paracord around the stock of the shotgun, just in front of the buttplate.
5. Test the sling for stability and adjust as needed.

Method 2: Using Zip Ties

1. Cut a length of nylon webbing to the desired length of your sling.
2. Slide one end of the webbing through the front sling swivel stud hole, then fold the end back and secure it to the webbing using a zip tie.
3. Wrap the webbing around the barrel and forend of the shotgun, making sure to keep it tight and secure.
4. Slide the other end of the webbing through the rear sling swivel stud hole, then fold the end back and secure it to the webbing using a zip tie.
5. Test the sling for stability and adjust as needed.

Note: Both of these methods are temporary solutions and may not be as secure as using swivels. If you plan on using the shotgun for an extended period of time with a sling, it is recommended that you install swivels.

Ultimate LOOP SLING for Guns Without Swivels

The Ultimate LOOP SLING is a great solution for guns without swivels, as it allows you to easily and securely attach a sling to your gun without the need for swivels. Here’s how to make an Ultimate LOOP SLING:

Materials:

• 1-inch nylon webbing (at least 5 feet in length)
• Paracord (at least 3 feet in length)
• 2 tri-glides
• 2 plastic buckles

Instructions:

1. Cut a length of nylon webbing to the desired length of your sling. Five feet is a good length for most shotguns.
2. Thread one end of the webbing through the tri-glide, then fold it back over itself and sew it in place. This creates a loop that will attach to the gun.
3. Thread the other end of the webbing through the plastic buckle, then fold it back over itself and sew it in place. This creates the adjustable portion of the sling.
4. Cut a length of paracord to the desired length of the loop. Three feet is a good length for most shotguns.
5. Tie one end of the paracord to the loop of the webbing using a square knot.
6. Thread the paracord through the other tri-glide, then tie the other end of the paracord to the loop using a square knot.
7. Adjust the length of the sling by moving the plastic buckle up or down the webbing.
8. To attach the sling to your shotgun, slide the loop over the barrel just behind the forend, then slide it back towards the receiver until it is snug.
9. To use the sling, simply wrap the loop around your arm and adjust the length using the plastic buckle.

The Ultimate LOOP SLING is a simple and effective solution for guns without swivels. It is adjustable, comfortable to use, and can be made using readily available materials.

Butler Creek Sling Without Swivel Installation

The Butler Creek Sling is a popular option for shotguns without swivels, as it features a universal design that can be installed on almost any shotgun. Here’s how to install a Butler Creek Sling without swivels:

Materials:

• Butler Creek Sling
• Allen wrench or screwdriver (depending on the sling)

Instructions:

1. Choose the appropriate size of sling for your shotgun. Butler Creek Slings come in several sizes, so be sure to choose the one that fits your shotgun best.
2. Locate the sling attachment points on your shotgun. These are typically located on the barrel just behind the forend and on the stock near the buttplate.
3. Slide the sling over the barrel of the shotgun and position it just behind the forend.
4. Use the Allen wrench or screwdriver to tighten the screws or adjust the tension on the sling attachment points, making sure that the sling is snug and secure.
5. Repeat the process for the other end of the sling, attaching it to the stock near the buttplate.
6. Adjust the length of the sling as needed by using the adjustment buckles on the sling.
7. Test the sling for stability and adjust as needed.

Note: If your shotgun does not have sling attachment points, you can still use a Butler Creek Sling with the addition of sling swivels or the Ultimate LOOP SLING as described above.

Muzzleloader Sling Without Swivels

If you have a muzzleloader without swivels, there are several ways to attach a sling. Here are a few options:

1. Use a Muzzleloader Sling with built-in loops: Many muzzleloader slings come with built-in loops that can be used to attach the sling to the gun without swivels. Slide the loops over the barrel and stock of the muzzleloader and adjust the length of the sling as needed.
2. Use Paracord: You can also make your own sling using paracord. Cut a length of paracord to the desired length of your sling and tie a loop at one end. Thread the other end of the paracord through the loop and tie it in a knot, creating a loop that can be attached to the muzzleloader. To attach the sling, slide the loop over the barrel just in front of the forend and slide it back towards the receiver until it is snug. Repeat the process for the other end of the sling, attaching it to the stock near the buttplate.
3. Use a Sling Adapter: Another option is to use a sling adapter that attaches to the muzzleloader without swivels. These adapters come in various sizes and shapes and can be attached to the barrel, stock or forend of the muzzleloader using screws or adhesive. Once the adapter is in place, you can attach the sling to the adapter using the standard swivel attachment.

Regardless of the method you choose, it’s important to test the sling for stability and adjust as needed. Make sure the sling is snug and secure before using it to carry your muzzleloader.
