Midwest Heavy Duty QD Front Sling Adaptor
April 30, 2010
TL;DR
The Midwest Industries heavy duty swivel is a robust, quick-detach attachment designed for reliable rifle sling use.
- The unit features a push-button detatchment and incorporated turn locks that prevent the sling from twisting.
- It is built for mounting on a standard Picatinny rail and maintains a visibly heavy-duty construction.
- Dimensions are fixed at 1.125in x 0.875in x 1.125in, and the swivel core is 1/8 in thick.
- Users should be aware that the black bluing coating appears excess and may require routine wiping to prevent discoloration.
The Midwest Industries Heavy Duty front swivel, upon first impression, is definitely heavy duty. It has weight to it, and at its thinnest point is 1/8 in thick.
The swivel is detachable via push button and also has turn locks to limit rotation. This is a huge help with keeping your sling from getting twisted up. The one thing that I did notice about the swivel is that the bluing (or whatever they used to make the metal black) appears to stick to things and come off. It appears to just be excess coating, as rubbing it does not cause you to get to bare metal, but I did need to wipe the parts off a bit to keep it from turning everything that touched it black.
