Regardless of the negative comments, I'm grateful for the video. I've used old-fashioned rifle swivels all of my life. I was unaware this change had been made. I thought the swivel might be malfunctioning or that I was doing something wrong. Turns out I was a bit confused. I was able to get the gist just from the explanation, though. For others who might still be struggling, what he's saying is: Unscrew or unwind the knob. Picture winding an old-fashioned watch but in reverse. Unwind the knob until it moves all the way out and comes to a full stop. Then push in on the knob. The other side will move away from the fixed post so that it can be rotated out of position. On mine, the top post is fixed. It rotates at the bottom near the webbing and detaches from the top part of the swivel. Afterward, put the fixed post through the swivel mount hole, then rotate everything back into position and close it. Last, screw or wind the knob back in, forward, just like you would wind a watch until it free spins. I hope this helps. Thank you for the video. It did help me.
You made this look so easy and I don't have great vision. Thank you for the clear explanation while making this video. I had no clue what to do until I seen this. It's my first rifle sling, can't wait to put it on. Thanks again! 👍🏻💯☺️
I just got one of these today for my new Winchester SXP shotgun. It’s super easy to install with the swivel locks. It’s really comfortable, but the rubbery inside of the pad sticks to your shirt too much. Not really a problem though; I just swivel it around to the nylon side. Overall a really well made, solid, comfortable sling. I give it an A-.
Why feed the bottom of the sling thru two retainers? I’d think the other retainer would be to secure the extra slack of the sling. I’m asking for understanding brother.
It's hard to see admittedly but you explain things very well. I suppose there is only so much hand holding to be expected and you're the first video I was able to find that explained the keeper setup.
The sleeve is free spinning, simply pull upwards so there is slight force on the spinning sleeve and unscrew it out. Once unscrewed press down on the sleeve to push out the pin and rotate the lock open 90 degrees. Put the pin through the hole on the screw stud and reverse to close and lock the swivel.
2:01 The part that I'm having trouble with was breezed over in 5 seconds, far away, out of focus, and with a one-sentence description no different than the instructions on the package. My swivel doesn't open when I loosen the peg, and I'm afraid of snapping something by getting too forceful with it. This video isn't helpful.
@@nigelhardy3978 I figured out mine. You need to loosen peg, then _push it in_ to unlatch the swivel so that it can rotate and open. After the swivel is loosened, you can thread it through the sling hole, realign it, then tighten the peg to lock it back in place. Hope that helps.
Not helpful. Too dark, camera is too far away and doesnt really show what hes doing and he goes through it too quickly. Guess I'll just go spend another 20 or 30$ for the sling with the swivels already on.
I’ll just buy a leather sling or make one out of an old belt. The Grovetec instructions that came with the sling are indecipherably cryptic, as is this video.
This must be the tutorial for Braille , Special Olympic Shooters and deaf gun owners. I cant see jack and cant hear Jill... this video wasted 3 minutes of my life.. Fire the cameraman and the lighting technicians too
Dude, I cannot see what you are doing. 1) your camera is way too far away from the action, 2) maybe black straps and black hardware with black swivels was a bad choice for a tutorial, 3) please consider that there are people in America (and around the world) who have NEVER done this before and are looking to you for help.
Why do I have to take apart your product and put it back together for it to work correctly I’m just gonna get a refund I can’t even see how you’re installing it everything is black

I can’t for the life of me see or understand what he is doing. I wish the camera is closer or he would slow down.

Black shirt + black rifle + black sling + camera 10 feet away = huh?
Really, 57 people had trouble with this? Might wanna get your eyes checked
He probably got a black dog as well
Looks soo much more complicated than it is. Thank you for this clear explanation!
To those confused - it's not a screw. It's a spring-loaded latch. Push in hard on the 'knob' of the sling and turn.
Thank you, that's all I needed to know.
Appreciate the clarification. I was really scratching my head on that...
I've watched many videos on installing slings. You have the best by far!!!! You know exactly what you are doing...Thank You
Way better than the Butler Creek vid, Thank you!
Fellow confused buyer here. Butler creek's videos really sucked
Great method, but could do with the camera being closer to see what's going on. Especially with the black sling
True can’t see shit
Yea, poor angle.
The lighting is too dark. I can barely see what he's holding or doing
Blind ass
How do you attach a sling that has swing swivel on it already? I feel like they will scratch my guns swivels? Thanks, great video!

Now THAT'S the info I needed! I was starting to feel really dumb. Thank you!
I have a different type sling. 2 keepers total, same principal though. Thanks.
WOW that maid it simple ! Thanks
Great content! 👍🏻
Sure wish I could have actually seen this install.

where i can this buy online?
Simple explanation. I don’t know why people are saying “I can’t see” or sarcastic comments like that. It was pretty clear to follow along and see.
Thanks for the great video
Thank you!

I think you just want to hold his hand queen. Or you are him...either way this video is some old fool with too much time on his hands.
Thank you, you saved me much aggravation
All I can say is thank u 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you
Great video help a lot
Excellent and thank you!
Mine only came with 2 fasteners
Or you could leave the tails on the opposite side of the sling so you don’t scratch your neck to pieces 100mph tape em down.
The keeper is calked a tri gluide
But how do you open the swivels?🤷🏼♂️
The sleeve is free spinning, simply pull upwards so there is slight force on the spinning sleeve and unscrew it out. Once unscrewed press down on the sleeve to push out the pin and rotate the lock open 90 degrees. Put the pin through the hole on the screw stud and reverse to close and lock the swivel.
It shows the process at the end of this video th-cam.com/video/0eqk_F_tIAw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yCX7Wn8UhNXLa7Fg
Zooming in would be nice you know.
nothing like knowing how
I can’t see what’s going on at all.

Hope that helps.
@@meatmachine144 i will try this. Thanks!
@Cody Phinney thats what I needed to know, works now thanks
You went way to fast& camera footage need to be zoomed in. I kinda got the idea, but now gotta see other videos.
Camera work could use some improvement ,as you can barely see how the sling is supposed to be pulled through the keepers
Who found this video useful ???
Was about to say I cant see a thing he just did
Theres no keepers on sling
Huh?
Hard to really see, you have on a black shirt the sling is black and the rifle is also very dark, really needs to be brighter.
Need better close-ups!
I wish I could see what you are doing. The hardware is dark, the sling is dark, and your shirt in the background is dark
You have camera angles use them lol!!!
Can't see anything you're doing
Not clear
Okay so why zoom out while youre doing the important hand part? Makes no sense.. just focus on one angle this aint an action film
Dude if you’re gonna make a instructional video have someone film closer. 12 feet away is useless!
Not helpful. Too dark, camera is too far away and doesnt really show what hes doing and he goes through it too quickly. Guess I'll just go spend another 20 or 30$ for the sling with the swivels already on.
Camera too far away, black shirt, black sling and rifle! Not a good presentation.

Not the best method or instruction bud

Bad camera angle. I can't see nothing.
Who else is still confused after watching this
Literally can't see anything you're doing! Bruh smdh!!!!
You just wasted our time and yours. We really couldn't see none of that!
