Does anyone know of a sling attachment, swivel, or hardware that is coated with something quiet, like nylon or rubber that is noiseless?
I plan to put a light dip of rubber based caulking on the pair I will use next. It's pretty tough compared to the silicone version, but is also clear. I see no reason why it will peel if it's cleaned well with the right solvent first.
One other set is plastic and made by Outdoor Connection. I like the Brute, but won't buy off of Amazon.. Spend the extra buck and get a set from a sporting goods store (not Dicks SG though.) đ They are quiet and strong.
I build my own using 1" lightweight nylon webbing and ALWAYS use the Outdoor Connection polymer swivels mentioned in the post above. They are pretty much bulletproof and completely silent. I use Chicago screws (screw rivets) to fasten the swivel loops on each end.

Thanks Happy_Camper, that looks like it will be very effective for close range hunting.
https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2403860152?pid=264850 I just found a bunch of reviews at Midway. They charge just $7 not including shipping (maybe a coupon code?) I don't know of any drawbacks. If the knurling on the little bolt / screw bothers you, it can be wrapped with a tight rubber band or rubber ring. I have had a set of metal swivels (unknown brand) break unexpectedly. I have this 1.25 size OC Brute and don't expect that to happen.
