I'm looking for a gunsmith shop in Colorado Springs.

Gary Schmitt built an elk rifle in the late 90's for me. Gary is gone now (RIP), but I'd like to find whoever continued with his business to see if they might have some hard-to-find sling swivels like he installed back then... get them to check the old parts bin and search for 3 of the Pachmayr flush mount swivels.  They're worth a premium to me to replace the ones lost in woods on the original sling.

Anybody else have some of these old swivels? I'd pay a pretty price for 3 of them for a new Ching sling!

ETA: Found what I needed. Thanks for all your help.

I wonder what it might mean that the two mentioned were/are just a block from each other.

I actually have the installation jug in my basement somewhere but only a couple of the sockets and they are earmarked for a project.

If you find any I’ll loan ya the installation jig.

I sent Hickman a note this AM asking to buy or trade for 1 swivel to complete the 3 loop set I need for a Ching sling. I found 2 sets NIB on EBay recently,  and just need the swivel loops, so I can trade the bases.
