Notes on the sling swivels are still at the bench

Will it fit

No interchange recorded yet

Butch Schoeller writes these notes only from parts he has handled. A blank section means nothing has been checked yet — not that everything fits.

From the bench

Availability

Nothing of this type is listed at the moment. Most of this catalog is one-of-a-kind, so stock turns over item by item rather than being restocked — posting a wanted listing is the reliable route, and aggregated requests are what tell Butch which parts to make next.
