10/22 Takedown sling swivel installation

[jefftk]

I just got 10/22 takedown and I would like to put a sling on it, and therefore a sling swivel set.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this and what swivel sets to use?

Here is one set, for example http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=40168/Product/SWIVEL-SETS

I saw a thread for making liberty training rifles, but all the links to parts from midwayusa were broken.

I found this video about installing sling swivels on the 10/22 TD http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rooCvJ6Bd_o
I guess the 10/22 TD buttstock is hollow, so the guy recommends using epoxy on the screw for the rear swivel mount.

He also suggests removing the barrel band, does anyone have insight on whether this a good/bad idea, or pointless? I can certainly see how less stuff touching the barrel would allow for greater accuracy, that is the whole idea behind having a floating barrel anyway, isn't it?

Won't you defeated the purpose of Takedown rifle design by installing a sling?

No?

Having a removable sling will not prevent the rifle from being broken down...

the stock is hollow plastic, it might be hard to mount something in there

you can also change out the barrel band for one that has rails which also has an attachment point for a sling

I bought this recently for my marlin xt22. Seems pretty good. Comes with instructions and you can check out the reviews for more tips.
