Can the swivels be changed out on these? I think the webbing is molded into the rubber part.
Thanks.
Yessir they can be. And yes the webbing is molded/stitched.

Yes they can. I never hunt with a sling in place, and those original Hush swivels were a PIA. I switched mine out to some Uncle Mikes to make it easier to remove. The Newer Hush slings are much better.
I got one of the sling last year after turkey season and i tried it out on one of my guns and i hated the swivels and i really didn't care for the sling...i guess two of the reasons i didn't like it was that the rubber on the sling was stiff in the cold weather and the swivels. After that hunt i took it off and put back on one of my old military slings..another thing is if you have a UTV with the over head gun rack it's hard to place it in the holder with that big piece of rubber on the sling...WANT buy another one that's for sure..i will just stick with the old web type sling.
I have one of the slimline models and really like it.
I have the newer green tapered model. Love this sling. I agree, the older models had a terrible swivel design, which made it very tuff to remove or install on your gun. :gobble:

I just got one in bottomland and it was a pain putting it on my benelli. the coating on the swivel seemed a tad thick. had to work with it to get it through the studs. once I got it through , it seems fine. I will like it most likely. slim line and comfortable.
Best out there in my opinion, I like them. Some of the old ones had a swivel screw with a wing nut type head, those were easier to take on and off. Have not purchased one recently though. Stays in place when you're walking.
Love the claw...
(slimline or contour)
Yep, the one swivel style is definitely a PIA -

The one i have has that big chunk of rubber that's kind of like a square i don't care for it at all..You guy's must never carry your gun in a over head gun rack..you can almost use that rubber piece as a weapon..again i will stick with regular web sling..
The slime line models are nice I liked mine.
