Hunter Arms Co. sling swivels

Posted by LCSCA on December 30, 2025, 1:08 pm

In response to Roger Domer
I'm searching for information. I have a field grade L C Smith 16 gauge, serial number 100306, manufactured in 1927, with what looks to be a factory installed under the barrel sling swivel. There is a look-a-like one under the stock too. I've seen one other in years past that looks similar. Swivels on shotguns are usually seen on foreign shotguns.
Does anyone have information about Elsies with sling swivels? Thank You in advance.

It is of course possible that other after-market swivels were used.

The pictures are exactly what is on my shotgun. Really nice to know they are factory swivels.
Thank You LCSCA.

I have a 12 ga. 3E circa 1903 with factory sling swivels that match the dimensions in Plans and Specifications.
