    Question T-Type Sling Swivel

    Hi to all,

    I´m searching for a T-Type sling swivel for my rebuild No.4 "T". Is there anyone out there who knows a good source and not to forget a source that will ship it to Germanyicon?

    Thank you in advance!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    What is the difference between the No.4 T swivel and one from a No.8?

    I have one on my No.4. The threads fit fine so I don't see a difference. I got it here Swivel, Front w/Angled Loop
    Price was right also.

    The No8 swivel is the same as the No4T swivel. In fact the No8 design team snitched the idea from the No4T. But, be aware that the similar commercial sling swivel is NOT the same as it has a longer shank that will allow the swivel to rotate through 360 degrees whereas the T swivel will not rotate fully

    The one I have does not turn past the wire loop in the trigger guard.
    I believe Numrich ships outside the U.S. but I'm not 100% sure. Better order quick before everyone else finds out or Numrich finds out and raises their prices.

    What about the UKicon Peter? I have a Parker-Hale sling Swivel that I fitted to my No.4T that I'd like to replace with a 'real' one and move the PH to my No.5.
