Description
Mounting a sling to a wood-stocked rifle shouldn't mean hunting down mismatched parts, and the GrovTec GTSW23 solves that in a single kit. It bundles a pair of GT Locking Swivels with a 1/2-inch wood screw fore-end stud, a 3/4-inch wood screw rear stud, and spacers to dial in the fit. The 1-inch swivel loops accept any standard 1-inch sling, and the black oxide steel finish keeps the whole setup looking clean and holding up in the field.
What Sets the GTSW23 Locking Swivels Apart
GrovTec builds these to tight machining tolerances with all-steel construction, and the locking design is the real selling point. The swivel features a free-spin sleeve that lets the loop rotate freely, then locks down once threaded, so your sling stays put whether you're climbing into a stand or trekking to a duck blind with cold hands and a load of decoys. It's the kind of small hardware you stop thinking about because it just works.
Fitting the GTSW23 to Your Rifle
This set is built for traditional wood stocks on bolt actions and other sporting rifles. The two different screw lengths are matched to the fore-end and buttstock, and the included spacers help you tighten things down without over-driving the studs into the wood. Folks running rimfires like the 10/22 have used these to swap out fixed factory hardware for a more comfortable rested shooting setup, and the same logic applies across most wood-stocked hunting rifles.
Why the Black Oxide Finish Matters
Black oxide gives you a low-glare, corrosion-resistant surface that pairs naturally with blued barrels and darker wood. GrovTec swivels have earned a loyal following among hunters who trust them to carry everything from an heirloom rifle to a brand-new magnum, and this set carries that same reputation in a straightforward, no-nonsense package.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sling size does the GrovTec GTSW23 swivel set fit?
The GTSW23 has 1-inch swivel loops, so it works with any standard 1-inch wide sling. That covers the vast majority of hunting and range slings on the market. If your sling is 1-1/4 inches wide, GrovTec offers the GTSW307 with larger loops instead.
What kind of rifle is the GTSW23 designed for?
This set is made for traditional wood rifle stocks and mounts using wood screw studs. It's a common choice for bolt action hunting rifles and rimfires with wood stocks. The two screws are sized for the fore-end and buttstock, and the included spacers help you get a snug, secure fit.
How does the locking feature on these GrovTec swivels work?
The swivels use a free-spin sleeve that lets the loop rotate freely until it's threaded down and locked. Once locked, the sling stays firmly attached and won't rattle loose during a hunt. It's a simple mechanism that adds real peace of mind when you're on the move.
Does the GTSW23 set include the studs, or just the swivels?
It includes both. You get a pair of GT Locking Swivels, a 1/2-inch wood screw fore-end stud, a 3/4-inch wood screw rear stud, and spacers. It's a complete kit, so you have everything needed to mount a sling to a bare wood stock right out of the package.
