Step Four

Tighten the chicago screw with a flat head screwdriver.  Make sure it is securely fastened to prevent the chicago screws from coming apart resulting in your firearm dropping.

If you’d like, you can apply a little glue (like Loctite) but make sure the sling is a comfortable length first because it may be very difficult to remove the chicago screw after it is glued.

Warning:  Always ensure the sling is securely fastened and swivels properly installed on your firearm.  Check that that chicago screws are fastened securely before each use. Always practice firearm safety, only use our products with a safe and unloaded firearm.
