Gary Chatham who I got a forearm from said he didn't know of any supply.
Sure would like to find something.

What kind of swivels are you looking for? Is it the recessed kind? If it is, Sako makes a swivel that will work.

I need the loops to fit the recessed factory studs. Else some kind of retrofit set to replace the factory ones.

My 1885 has the same setup. Sako. Check with any of the large distributors.

I bought a set from Michaels of Oregon to put on my B78. I cannot find them on their website so you will have to call them. The number is (800) 423-3537.
If you strike-out completely, send me a PM. I sold the gun but still have the swivels, and will part with them equitably.

Pachmayr still makes the flush mount swivels. Unfortunately, they changed the diameter of the shank so new ones won't fit in the B78 without changing the sockets as well.

The old ones still turn up occasionally on fleabay.

Yes, you're right, and it was Pachmayr that I bought, not Michaels. I was mistaken (first time today ;)). You're also right about the older loops not fitting the new Pachmayr sockets. I had to change both.
