Is there a nice and strong but silent sling swivel out there? I'm tired of the no-name swivels that I've got constantly squeaking on my rifle.

I usually start the season with a “squeaker”! A little dab of grease and “Silence is Golden”! memtb

Quake Hush Stalkers are quiet. But I have not worked them hard, so I don't know how they would hold up long term.

If you have QD swivels like Uncle Mikes get an O-ring that fits over the stud.
I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.

somebody told me that Grovtec swivels are the schitt as they are a direct copy of the uncle mike pattern but made in the usa and all metal whereas unclemikes uses plastic on the threaded collar that pretects the pushpin used to unlatch the swivel. i personally like the old school uncle mikes swivels before they did the threaded pushpin protector and you could just push the pin without having to thread in or out the protector. mine that have this feature usually are threaded out when i look at them anyway.

Put a drop of oil on the pin and wrap them with electrical tape. No more noise
