Elevating Your Mossberg Shotgun Experience: The Uncle Mike's Quick Detach Super Swivel Set for 590 & 835

For any serious shotgun enthusiast, hunter, or tactical user, the ability to comfortably and securely carry your firearm is paramount. A well-designed sling system transforms your shotgun from a cumbersome burden into a seamlessly integrated tool. At the heart of a reliable sling system are robust, easy-to-use sling swivels. This is precisely where the Uncle Mike's 18112 Mag Cap Swivel Set, specifically engineered for Mossberg 590 and Mossberg 835 shotguns, distinguishes itself. It provides the essential quick-detach capability that allows for immediate sling removal or attachment, enhancing both convenience and operational readiness.

Imagine trekking through dense brush, navigating challenging terrain, or standing ready during a sporting clays event. Carrying a shotgun hands-free significantly reduces fatigue, frees up your hands for other tasks, and ensures your firearm is always in a ready-to-deploy position. This Uncle Mike's swivel set solves the common dilemma faced by Mossberg 590 and 835 owners: how to effectively mount a sling without permanent modifications or compromising the firearm's integrity. It's the ideal solution for those seeking a dependable, durable, and intuitive way to equip their beloved Mossberg with a sling.

Why Every Mossberg 590 and 835 Owner Needs Quality Sling Swivels

Many shotgun owners acquire their Mossberg 590 or 835 for its legendary reliability, pump-action versatility, and rugged construction. However, these powerful firearms often lack integrated sling attachment points directly out of the box. This is where the Uncle Mike's 18112 set becomes an indispensable upgrade.

• Enhanced Portability: Whether you're a hunter covering miles in the field, a competitor moving between shooting stages, or a homeowner seeking a ready-to-deploy defensive tool, a sling vastly improves how you carry your shotgun.
• Operational Readiness: A sling allows you to quickly transition from carrying to aiming, or to drop the shotgun to a low-ready position while maintaining positive control, crucial in dynamic situations.
• Reduced Fatigue: Long periods of holding a shotgun can be exhausting. A sling distributes the weight, freeing your hands and shoulders from strain.
• Improved Safety and Retention: Keeping your firearm securely attached to your body prevents accidental drops and makes it more difficult for others to disarm you.

The Uncle Mike's 18112 Quick Detach Super Swivel Set directly addresses these needs by providing robust, dedicated sling attachment points designed specifically for the Mossberg 590 and 835 models, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum stability.

Unpacking the Uncle Mike's 18112 Quick Detach Super Swivel Set: Components and Features

This comprehensive set includes everything necessary to outfit your Mossberg 590 or 835 with a quick-detach sling system. Each component is meticulously crafted to integrate seamlessly with your shotgun, reflecting Uncle Mike's long-standing reputation for quality firearm accessories.

Key Components Included:

1. Replacement Magazine Cap with Swivel Base: This innovative component replaces your existing factory magazine cap, transforming the front of your shotgun into a robust sling attachment point. Crafted from durable steel with a blued finish, it's designed to withstand the rigors of regular use while blending aesthetically with your shotgun's existing finish. Its design ensures a secure fit without interfering with your shotgun's operation.
2. 3/4" Wood Screw Butt-Stock Swivel Base: For the rear attachment point, this swivel base is designed to be installed into the buttstock of your Mossberg. The 3/4" wood screw ensures a strong, stable connection, crucial for the rear point where significant sling tension is often applied. Its discrete design ensures it doesn't snag or interfere with your grip.
3. Two Quick Detach (QD) Super Swivels (1" Loop Size): These are the heart of the quick-detach system.
   • Quick Detach Functionality: The QD mechanism allows for lightning-fast attachment and removal of your sling. A simple push of a button or lever instantly releases the swivel from its base, offering unparalleled flexibility for various scenarios. This means you can quickly remove your sling when storing your shotgun, cleaning it, or when a sling might be cumbersome in a tight space.
   • Super Swivel Durability: Uncle Mike's "Super Swivels" are renowned for their strength and reliability. Made from hardened steel with a blued finish, they are engineered to prevent accidental detachment, even under heavy load or dynamic movement. This gives you peace of mind that your shotgun will remain securely attached to your sling.
   • 1" Loop Size: The 1-inch loop size is a universal standard, accommodating a vast majority of tactical, hunting, and general-purpose slings available on the market. This ensures compatibility with popular sling designs, whether you prefer a traditional leather sling, a modern nylon two-point sling, or a versatile single-point setup.

Material and Finish: Built to Last

The Uncle Mike's 18112 set boasts a construction primarily from high-grade steel. This choice of material is not accidental; steel offers superior strength, rigidity, and resistance to wear and tear compared to lighter alloys or plastics. The "blued finish" isn't just for aesthetics; it's a traditional firearm finish that provides an excellent layer of corrosion resistance, protecting the steel components from rust and environmental damage, ensuring longevity even in challenging outdoor conditions. This commitment to robust materials means your investment in this swivel set will endure for years of demanding use.

Installation: Simple Steps for Enhanced Functionality

One of the significant advantages of the Uncle Mike's 18112 set is its straightforward installation process. You don't need to be a gunsmith to equip your Mossberg 590 or 835 with this vital accessory. The design prioritizes user-friendliness, allowing most owners to complete the upgrade with basic tools.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide:

1. Safety First: Always ensure your shotgun is unloaded and cleared of all ammunition before beginning any modification or installation. Double-check the chamber and magazine tube.
2. Remove Original Magazine Cap: Unscrew and remove the existing magazine cap from the front of your Mossberg 590 or 835.
3. Install New Magazine Cap Swivel Base: Thread the Uncle Mike's replacement magazine cap with the integrated swivel base onto the magazine tube until it is hand-tight and secure.
4. Prepare Buttstock for Rear Swivel Base: Identify the optimal location on the underside or side of your shotgun's buttstock for the rear swivel base. Ensure it will not interfere with your grip or shouldering the firearm. Mark the spot carefully.
5. Drill Pilot Hole (if necessary): Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the 3/4" wood screw, carefully drill a pilot hole at your marked location. Take care not to drill too deep. (Consult a professional if unsure about drilling into your stock material).
6. Install Buttstock Swivel Base: Screw the 3/4" wood screw butt-stock swivel base into the pilot hole. Hand-tighten until secure, but avoid over-tightening which could strip the wood.
7. Attach Quick Detach Super Swivels to Sling: Attach the two 1" loop QD Super Swivels to your preferred sling. The quick-detach mechanism makes this an effortless process.
8. Connect Sling to Shotgun: Depress the quick-detach button on each Super Swivel and insert them into their respective swivel bases (magazine cap and buttstock). Ensure they audibly click into place, confirming a secure lock. Gently pull on the sling to verify the connection.

With these simple steps, your Mossberg 590 or 835 is now fully equipped to accept a sling, ready for improved handling and carrying convenience.

The Perfect Fit: Mossberg 590 and 835 Compatibility

The specific design for Mossberg 590 and 835 models is a crucial selling point for this Uncle Mike's swivel set. These shotguns are among the most popular and widely used pump-action firearms globally, trusted by military, law enforcement, hunters, and civilians for their robustness and reliability.

• Mossberg 590: Known for its heavy-walled barrel, bayonet lug, and sometimes extended magazine tube, the 590 series is a staple in tactical and home defense scenarios. The Uncle Mike's magazine cap seamlessly replaces the factory cap, providing a dedicated forward sling point without interfering with its robust design.
• Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag: This model is celebrated by waterfowl and turkey hunters for its ability to handle 3.5-inch magnum shells. The design of the swivel set ensures that whether you're using a 590 or an 835, you get a secure and integrated sling solution that complements the shotgun's intended use.

This precise fit eliminates guesswork and ensures that the swivels will not wobble, create excess noise, or compromise the firearm's function, a common concern with generic or ill-fitting accessories.

Real-World Benefits and Use Cases

The versatility and reliability of the Uncle Mike's 18112 Quick Detach Super Swivel Set translate into tangible advantages across various applications:

• For Hunters: Imagine long treks through the woods or marshes. A sling lets you carry your Mossberg 590 or 835 comfortably, freeing your hands for binoculars, game calls, or navigating difficult terrain. When game appears, the quick-detach feature allows for silent, rapid removal of the sling if it might snag, or you can keep it attached for supported shooting positions.
• For Sport Shooters (e.g., 3-Gun Competitors): Rapid movement between stages and quick transitions between firearms are common. A sling provides essential hands-free mobility and quick weapon retention. The QD feature allows you to ditch the sling quickly if a stage requires it, or to quickly attach it for transport.
• For Home Defense / Tactical Use: In a critical situation, maintaining control of your shotgun while needing your hands free (e.g., opening a door, making a call, assisting family) is vital. A sling keeps your firearm secure and accessible. The quick-detach function allows you to quickly remove the sling if it becomes a snag hazard in tight spaces.
• For Law Enforcement / Security Personnel: For professionals who depend on their Mossberg shotguns for duty, having a reliable sling system that can be rapidly deployed or removed is non-negotiable for operational efficiency and safety.
• General Range Use and Storage: Even for casual range trips, a sling makes transport easier. When cleaning or storing your shotgun, the quick-detach feature means the sling can be removed in seconds, making maintenance and storage less cumbersome.
