Just to help out anyone else trying to put sling swivels on a Browning BLR TD "takedown", the Uncke Mike's kit made for all BLR's "except lightening models" will not fit. The kit requires the front sling swivel to replace the spacer on the front of the forearm. The takedown model has no such spacer. I bought a different Uncle Mike's kit that has a 3/4 inch wood screw for the rear and a 1/2 inch wood screw for the front. I was going to install it myself but decided to send it to a gunsmith with the proper tools for $25.00.
I guess my confusion came from the term "lightening models", since Browning doesn't use that term to describe any of their current BLR models. I only see one current BLR sold by Browning that has the spacer on the forarm, the BLR Lightweight 81. Maybe Lightening Model is any BLR made with an aluminum receiver.
