Uncle Mike’s QD Magnum Split Barrel Band 12 Gauge 1″ Loop Swivels

Description

Slinging up an over/under used to mean either drilling into a nice shotgun or living without a sling at all. Uncle Mike's built this Magnum split barrel band to fix that. It's a two-piece band that wraps around the barrels of a 12-gauge over/under and gives you a 1" quick-detach loop, so you can carry hands-free in the field or on the way to the blind without touching the finish of your gun with a permanent mount.

The whole thing goes on with the supplied Allen wrench. No dismantling, no gunsmith, no permanent modifications to the shotgun. You clamp the split band around the barrels, snug it down, and you're ready to attach a sling. The steel construction and classic blued finish keep it low-key and durable, which matters when it's riding along on a wood-and-blue classic like a Winchester 101.

Fitting the QD Magnum Split Barrel Band to Your Shotgun

This particular model is sized for 12-gauge over/under and single-barrel shotguns with a barrel diameter between .775 and .825 inches. That's the sweet spot for the Winchester Model 101 and 201 series. Uncle Mike's makes this Magnum band in several diameter ranges, so if your barrels measure outside that window, there's likely a sibling model that fits. It is not meant for 28-gauge or .410 shotguns, so keep this one on your 12-bore.

Why a QD Loop Makes Sense on a Break-Action

The quick-detach design means the sling comes off in seconds when you're breaking the gun down or want a clean look at the range, while the band itself stays put. The 1" loop handles just about any standard hunting or field sling you already own. Uncle Mike's has been making swivels and slings for decades, and this split band is a straightforward, field-proven way to get a carry strap on a shotgun that never came drilled for one.
