Got a Winchester or Marlin lever gun with no way to hang a sling up front? That's exactly the gap the GrovTec GTSW41 fills. This one-piece barrel band slips over the magazine tube and locks into place, giving you a sturdy front sling loop where the factory never put one. It's built entirely from steel and finished in black, so it looks right at home on a classic lever action and holds up to years of hauling your rifle through the field.
The band is sized for tube diameters between .645" and .660", which covers a lot of the popular Winchester and Marlin centerfire lever actions, along with replica models like the Uberti 1866 Yellow Boy and 1873. It's also relieved to sit properly under the magazine tube on install, so it seats clean instead of fighting the tube. Measure your mounting surface before you order, since GrovTec makes these bands in a few diameter ranges and getting the right one matters for a tight, quiet fit.
GrovTec has earned a reputation as an American-made standard for slings and swivel hardware, and this set backs that up. The close-tolerance machining means the band clamps down snug with minimal rattle, and the loops accept any standard 1" sling. People who've swapped these in on rifles like the Marlin 336 tend to note it feels like a clear step up from cheaper import swivels.
Installation usually means partially disassembling the front of the rifle so you can slide the band into position, then reassembling. It's not complicated, and there are plenty of walkthrough videos out there if you want to follow along the first time. The kit gives you a complete two-point setup: the front band, a rear wood screw swivel stud for the buttstock, and a matched pair of GT locking swivels to clip your sling onto.
It's designed for Winchester and Marlin centerfire lever actions with a magazine tube or barrel diameter between .645" and .660". It also works well on replica lever guns like the Uberti 1866 Yellow Boy and 1873. Always measure your mounting surface before ordering, since GrovTec offers these bands in several diameter ranges.
Most people find it straightforward. You'll typically need to partially disassemble the front of the rifle so the band can slide into position over the tube, then put it back together. There are plenty of video walkthroughs available if you want to follow along your first time.
The loops are sized for standard 1" slings, which covers the vast majority of rifle slings on the market. The included GT locking swivels clip right onto your sling and hold it securely to both the front band and the rear stud.
Yes. The kit includes the front one-piece barrel band, a rear wood screw swivel stud for the buttstock, and a matched pair of locking swivels. That gives you everything needed for a complete front-and-rear sling mount on a rifle that came without a forearm swivel stud.
