A common accessory for the Ruger 10/22 rifle, this type of sling attachment method avoids permanent modification of the firearm’s stock. It typically involves utilizing existing features on the rifle, such as the barrel band or receiver swivel studs, or employing specialized clamps or adapters that secure to the stock without requiring drilling. This allows for easy installation and removal of the sling, preserving the original condition of the rifle.
Preserving the original condition of a firearm can be beneficial for resale value and collector appeal. Non-invasive sling attachment options provide flexibility for users who may wish to change sling styles or remove the sling entirely without leaving behind permanent alterations. This approach also caters to those who prefer not to alter a factory stock or who lack the tools or expertise for drilling and installing traditional sling swivel studs. The popularity of these methods has grown with increased interest in maintaining the original configuration of firearms.
