Description
Getting a sling onto a shotgun that came without swivel studs used to be a headache. Uncle Mike's put together this QD Sling Swivel Set to fix that, giving you everything needed to add solid sling mounting points to most pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns. The kit covers both the front and rear of the gun, so you're not left hunting for a separate stud or base.
Inside the pack you get a magazine-cap mount for the front, a wood screw base for the stock, and a matched pair of 1-inch quick-detach Super Swivels in a blued steel finish. The 1-inch loop fits standard slings, and the blued finish blends in nicely with most factory shotgun bluing.
What Sets the 15612 Swivel Set Apart
The swivels use Uncle Mike's Swivelock design, which pairs a spring-loaded plunger with a knurled, threaded sleeve. Once you thread that sleeve down, the swivel won't pop open from side contact or brushing against gear in the field. That's a big deal when you're covering ground for hours and don't want your gun swinging loose off your shoulder. The closed-link construction gives the ring a permanent bond, so there's no weak seam to worry about.
Fitting the 15612 to Your Shotgun
Installation is straightforward for most guns, though the front magazine cap mount typically calls for a little drilling and tapping to seat properly. Folks who've done it report it's a quick job with a #3 drill bit and a 1/4-28 tap, but if that's outside your comfort zone, a gunsmith can knock it out fast. This set fits the majority of pumps and autos, with a few exceptions like the Browning 2000, Winchester 1400, Ithaca 37, Savage 30, Sears 21 and 30, and Stevens pumps, and it isn't made for gas-operated recoil designs.
Uncle Mike's has been building swivels since 1947, and this set carries that same reputation for tough, dependable gear. It's a smart, low-cost way to make any afternoon in the field or the duck blind a whole lot easier on your arms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns does the Uncle Mike's 15612 swivel set fit?
It's designed to work with most pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns, giving you front and rear sling attachment points. A handful of models are exceptions, including the Browning 2000, Winchester 1400, Ithaca 37, Savage 30, Sears 21 and 30, and Stevens pumps. It's also not made for gas-operated recoil shotguns, so check your action type before ordering.
Does installing the 15612 QD sling swivel set require drilling?
The rear screw base threads right into the stock, but the front magazine cap mount usually needs a small hole drilled and tapped to seat correctly. Many owners handle it themselves with a #3 drill bit and a 1/4-28 tap. If you'd rather not do the work, any gunsmith can install it in short order.
Will the swivels come loose while I'm carrying my shotgun?
No. The Swivelock design uses a spring-loaded plunger paired with a knurled, threaded sleeve that locks the swivel down. Once it's threaded closed, side contact and gear rub won't pop it open, so your sling stays put through a long day afield.
What size sling works with this set?
The swivels have a 1-inch loop, which fits standard 1-inch slings, the most common size for shotguns and rifles. If you already own a 1-inch sling you're good to go. For wider or narrower slings you'd need a different loop size.
