I have a 70's vintage winchester 94, that I want to put a sling on. I purchased an uncle mikes full band magazine tube kit as a start.
First, I noticed that it was loose on the tube, allowing front to back sliding. So I took the ring off, and gave it a little hit with a hammer to make it slightly egg shaped, so that it would squeeze on the sides more. This gave it just enough tension so it wouldnt slide about.
Then, upon installation, I noticed, that while the band doesnt move on the tube, the tube itself is moving left and right some. Seems the magazine plug screw which protrudes through the plug and into a shallow hole in the barrel has a touch of play.
I surmise, that this wont be a problem, but im not sure that I want to trust it. I could modify my forearm band and install a swivel stud on that. Does anyone else have a say? How does the uncle mikes band hold up and is there any problems after a while associated with the magazine tube having play?
