Description
Plenty of great slings out there still ride on a traditional sling stud, and the GrovTec Flanged Stud Mount is the piece that bridges that gap on a modern rail. It bolts straight into an M-LOK slot and gives you a standard 1/4-inch stud, so you can run the kind of swivels and padded slings folks have trusted on hunting rifles for decades. If you picked up an M-LOK-equipped rifle and found yourself with no clean way to hang a sling, this is the little part that solves it.
What the GrovTec GTSW112 Is Built From
The body is machined from 6061 aluminum and wears a Type III hard anodize finish, which is the tough, matte-black coating that holds up to years of field use without looking beat. The stud itself is steel with a black oxide finish, so the part that actually carries the load is the part that needs the strength. It all keeps a low profile against the handguard instead of snagging on gear or brush.
Getting the Flanged Stud Mount Dialed In
Installation is about as simple as it gets. The mount includes the hardware you need to fasten it into any M-LOK slot on your forend, so it's a quick job with basic tools. It's designed to accept standard locking sling swivels, which makes it easy to pair with the sling you already own or a new setup you have in mind.
One thing worth knowing: this mount is made for sling swivels, not bipods. If you're looking to hang a bipod off your M-LOK rail, GrovTec builds a dedicated bipod stud mount for that job. For slings though, the GTSW112 is a clean, no-fuss way to add a classic attachment point to an AR-15, a new-generation lever gun, or any M-LOK forearm. GrovTec has long been a go-to name in slings and swivels, and this piece fits right into that reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the GrovTec GTSW112 stud mount attach to?
It's built for M-LOK slots, so it fits any M-LOK handguard or forend. That covers a lot of modern AR-15s along with newer lever guns and rifles running M-LOK rails. Once installed, it gives you a standard sling stud where there wasn't one before.
Can I use the Flanged Stud Mount to attach a bipod?
No, this one is designed for sling swivels only and shouldn't be used to hang a bipod. GrovTec makes a separate M-LOK bipod stud mount that's engineered for that load. Stick to slings with the GTSW112 and you're good.
What kind of swivel works with this mount?
It accepts standard locking sling swivels, the same style used on countless hunting rifles. That means you can pair it with padded carry slings and other traditional setups rather than being locked into QD or clip designs. If you already own a stud-style sling, it'll likely drop right on.
Is the GrovTec stud mount durable enough for hard field use?
The body is 6061 aluminum with a Type III hard anodize finish, which is a rugged, corrosion-resistant coating. The stud that carries the weight is steel with a black oxide finish for extra strength. It's a low-profile piece built to hold up season after season.
