    Are side sling swivels supposed to be slightly loose on the barrel?

    Are side sling swivels supposed to wiggle on the barrel when installed?

    Swivels

    You're talking about the type retained with 2 roll pins?

    I've never seen one that wasn't slightly loose. They work fine, though.

    Yes it's the one with two roll pins that fits around the barrel under the front sight base. I just wanted to make sure that I had installed it correctly.

    I thought most people took those off!

    My side swivel fits slightly loose and has been since I got it.

    Mine is slightly loose; came that way from S&W. I've thought about going with a rail mounted swivel but that would prevent my thumb from pointing forward when choked up on the VFG.
