Features

The RED Swivel is a true emergency quick release swivel that allows the user to quickly free himself from his weapon for emergency egress and other times when the user must untangle himself from his weapon.Ā  The PatentedĀ RED Swivel, or Rapid Emergency Detachment Swivel,Ā replaces standard push button sling swivels with a pull-knob emergency release swivel that fits any standard push button sockets, sockets inset in popular handguards and stocks, the Burnsed Socket, or the Rail Mounted Push Button Socket.Ā 

Operation

The PatentedĀ REDā„¢ Swivel releases with a straight pull on the sphereo-conical knob instead of the fine motor operation of the "push-pull" of standard push button swivels.Ā  Only 7 pounds of force is needed to install or release the swivel, however accidental release is minimized by the knob shape and angle of operation.Ā  A pull of more than 15 degrees off axis will not release the connection, eliminatingĀ the possibility of release if caught in vehicles, doorways, other gear, or brush.Ā 

Uses

If you work with a rifle over or near water or in other conditions where sling entrapment is a substantial risk, the RED Swivel can prove itself to be invaluable.Ā  The RED swivel can be paired with the Burnsed Socket or a Universal Wire Loop- with push button (available separately) to make the fastest 2- to 1-point sling. See the Applications Tab for more uses. The 1.00" RED is recommended for the standardĀ Vickers Sling (which has 125-inch webbing). Where the 1.25-inch RED is for wider slingĀ webbing (such as 1.5-inch webbing); itĀ will have more wiggle room, slides,Ā if used 1.25-inch sling webbing.Ā

RED Swivel Care

Like all push button swivels, RED Swivels should be oiled periodically to maintain smooth operation.Ā  Make it a habit to oil them every time you clean and lube your rifle.
