Blue Force Gear Rapid Emergency Detachment (RED) Swivel

The Blue Force Gear Rapid Emergency Detachment (RED) Swivel is a true emergency quick release that allows the user to quickly free himself from his weapon. 

The RED Swivel replaces standard push button sling swivels with a pull-knob emergency release swivel that fits any standard push button socket; including sockets inset into popular stocks and handguards, the Burnsed Socket, or rail mounted sockets. 

Operation

The Patented RED™ Swivel releases with a straight pull on the sphereo-conical knob instead of the fine motor operation of the "push-pull" of standard push button swivels.  Only 7 pounds of force is needed to install or release the swivel, however accidental release is minimized by the knob shape and angle of operation.  A pull of more than 15 degrees off axis will not release the connection; eliminating the possibility of release if caught in vehicles, doorways, other gear, or brush. 

Uses

If you work with a rifle over or near water, or in other conditions where sling entrapment is a substantial risk; the RED Swivel can save your life. The 1" RED is recommended for the standard Vickers Sling (which has 1.25" webbing). The 1.25" RED is for best used with slings made from wider webbing (such as 1.5" slings like the Armageddon Gear Heavy Carbine Sling).
