Hello Everyone I hope today finds you well and happy even with all that is going on...
I'm a newer member on the site and also happy Shockwave owner. Mine is a 12 gauge. It came with the sling stud-eyelets on the end of the Raptor grip and also on the magazine tube cap. The problem I'm having is with the mag-cap stud-eyelet. It is just threaded through the cap but it does not swivel at all by design. To me this is a real problem. On my existing sling I have Uncle Mikes Quick Detach sling swivel mounts from my other shotgun (870.. gasp) that works great. When mounted to the Shockwave MagCap any movement starts to loosen the cap even when cranked down as tight as it will go. (My mag cap loosens quite easily and I guess this is normal ?) My 870 mag cap is tighter with more anti reverse clicks i.e.
I find this very dangerous if the mag cap starts to come even slightly loose. In my mind this could cause a catastrophic failure. I noticed this because I had initially put a drop of blue locktite on the thread of the stud-eyelet but quickly realized it made the cap start to loosen even faster. I could leave the stud-eyelet slightly loose so it would sort of swivel and probably would not completely unthread itself but I'm not happy with that idea.
I have been searching to see if there is an stud-eyelet that will swivel freely??
I have been looking through the forum and have found some alternative solutions for mounting slings. GGG etc. are good products I've used before on other firearms. Honestly at this time I don't really 'need' a sling because the SW is my newest HD solution. I do like to have some alternative accessories though i.e. if I travel with the SW and need to be out in the bush fighting off zombie types.
Further, I'm not an accessorizer and like things simple. I am not really a Laser fan either but I do have a green Bulldot on my SW and it works great. I will not be holding this firearm up past my waist area so the Bulldot is awesome. It’s not a flashlight but illuminates quite well and hopefully will burn out the eyes of my intruders before I would shoot at them. Humor...
I'm glad to be member on this site and find a lot of great info.. thanks in advance.
