Rotation limited tends to be more common these days. Out of curiosity, any particular reason or application for a free spinning one?

I'd like to carry the carbine slung around my neck but free to rotate to the rear-downward when shouldering it.
I just think a free rotating swivel will work better for me. Dodge223 Thanks for the link, I'll look into that one. |

After looking at the above link and places like Brownell's and Optics Planet, I went to Amazon and found exactly what I needed..........
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0813K6MD4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A lot of M-Lok mounts say they allow 360 degree rotation, but they mean that if you press the unlocking button on the swivel you can rotate it to another position, where it re-locks in that position. I wanted free rotating M-Lok swivels. |

I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the one they send you is rotation limited and they didn’t update the description. I had to call them 4 separate times to explain they had the wrong parts in the bin they pull from. They had to contact the manufacturer to get updated information. It was a month long 4 shipment and return process. |

I'm well aware of the risks in buying gun items from Amazon.
In this case that's the only free rotating M-Lok swivel I could find, and I figure it's no great loss if it doesn't work out. |

That one on Amazon looks like garbage.

I have a UTG pro QD socket that doesn’t have anti rotation. It’s yours for the price Of shipping if you want it.

OP, I initially got free-rotating, then tried limited. Not looking back.
I throw my rifle over the strong shoulder so it's muzzle up on my back no problem. Why are you trying to carry it just around your neck? |
