Sling swivels

I have a niggeloh backpack rifle sling and one of the swivels I used has started to squeak and I can't get it to stop. I am going to get a new set but the webbing straps are very narrow on these slings. To that end can anyone recommend a set that are suitable, preferably narrower than 1".

Thanks

There was a thread a while ago on this very problem. I put copper grease on mine to sort the problem. Also was looking for sub 1" and didn't have any joy.

Still looking. Got an email back for niggeloh to say that the straps are 20mm wide but not recommending a swivel for it. So if anyone can recommend/point me in the direction of a set of quick release sling swivels that are 20mm wide it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Another reason I make my slings that marry oversize leather to a set of those Uncle Mikes swivels that allow the leather to be an interference fit with the stud when closed.

As others have said, it was the leather on the d ring that was squeaking. Some Vaseline sorted it on mine. Best of luck.
