Title: Mag 10 ?
Post by: earlybird on February 08, 2011, 06:04:56 PM
As previously mentioned,i have a mag 10 that i got for christmas.It's an older gun and i would like to put a set of sling swivels on it as it is quite heavy.Does anyone on here know someplace that sells these?My local sports shops keeps telling me that they have been backordered and i'm tired of waiting,i want to get this done before season.

Here is "uncle mikes" site - you just need to see if your magazine cap can be tapped , no need for a gunsmith if you have a drill your good to go - Shannon

Earlybird, you will need a 1/4" drill and a 5/16" x 32 NF tap for the threads for the magazine cap stud.  I installed mine over 20 years ago and it is still on there.  JDD

Thanks for the info.I just checked out the end cap and it appears to already have threads.It looks like fine threads for a short way then coarse threads on down. ???
