Early 700 sling swivels

Post by MHobbs »

I just acquired a early model 700 .270 (SN 87## with 20in barrel) and the swivels do not match. The front is a fixed type ring and the rear is a standard stud for a detachable ring. Does anyone know which type is correct for this rifle and where I could obtain a replacement? Thanks

Is it an ADL or a BDL? Typically, the ADL models didn't come with factory-installed sling swivels unless they were ordered that way from the factory (at an additional cost). I "believe" all the BDL models came with detachable swivels and a sling.

I believe it's a ADL. It has a checkered stock but no caps or anything fancy. I just noticed that the front is a Williams so they were most likely added on. Thanks!
