	Dixie Gun Works also carries the Winchester sling hooks, and cheaper than anyone else. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

The kits he sold also included an eyelet on a wood screw and another for attaching to the brl. by dovetailing or soldering. I installed them on 4 or 5 of the SSs I used to hunt with, and liked them as well as QD swivels. Don't know who was actually making them--I think Cape Outfitters also sold them.

	Cape Outfitters is now Jeff's Outfitters. Under the old name it was the original importers of the dreaded mini-Fraser finished rifles and kits. Can't say anything about the quality of their current products. Bill Lawrence

	Jeff's Outfitters has shown them out of stock for a very long time!

If a guy can't bend those little hooks slightly closed, he probably ought to sell all his tools.

True, but why should he have to at $40 a pop? Because not all sling eyes are the same. And $40 a pair is half or less than what anyone else charges. Takes all of maybe 30 seconds to do both of them. Try and make them for less.
