Sounds about right. Use a drill press to keep everything nice and straight. You can drill and tap you mag cap no problem. Again, use your drill press for this. Go to a gun shop and measure where to put the stock screw. I like the Uncle Mike's quick detach swivels.

Sounds like you are g2g. Use a drill press as bmyk said or use a drill with a built in bubble level if you have one.
I have also read that some people like to make a small dent with a nail where they are going to drill the stud. This keeps the drill bit from skipping around if you use a hand drill. You can also get the GG&G sling mounts that clamp between the mag cap and barrel. There is another that clamps between the receiver and the stock. I have both and love them. |

Do shotguns require a certain length sling or will any rifle sling pretty much fit?

I'm looking at the Uncle Mike's swing swivels for the Rem 870; there's one for internal ratchet type system and one for ball and detent type. How do I tell which one I have- it's a Rem 870 Express, that means internal mag tube ratchet-type system, correct?

Thanks for the advice everyone, I installed a set of Uncle Mike's swivels & sling tonight and it turned out perfect. I also couldn't resist adding a stock shell-holder after seeing one in Soileater's pictures. Will probably take it out into the field this weekend...

haha, cool, i also cut a little hole, in the shell holder to prevent it from sliding, and burnt edges so it wouldn't unravel . and slid it over the stock swivel mount, and then attached the sling over it. this makes the elastic shell holder not move. Glad to hear everything turned out good.
