    There's an excellent discussion about sling swivels by Peter Laidlericon and others under most Knowledge Libraryicon entries for various No.4(T)'s ...

    As an example, check the "Collectors Comments and Feedback" for:

    Milsurp Knowledge Library - 1944 Enfield No.4 Mk1(T) Sniper Rifle

    The Military issue sling swivel, B1/CR-540, WILL FOUL the steel loop at the front of the trigger guard. Read that again. It WILL FOUL the loop at 180 degrees of rotation either way. The reason is to prevent the sling loop and sling rotating and getting itself into a twist.

    The post war commercial item that fakers use is slightly longer and will just clear the small wire loop. This allows it and therefore the sling to rotate through 360 degrees. The sling can and will twist.
    Also, here's another older thread in the forum on the same subject which has a lot of interesting information and feedback:

    Center Sling Swivel
