If you are looking to buy them here you are on the wrong place.  Classified ads are not allowed on discussion forums.  If you want advice where to get them, I got mine from Uncle Mike's.

I think UM quit making the sling kits, can't find them anywhere except a few on ebay once and a while.
Bullberry makes them out of replacement hex head bolts with the short machine stud silver soldered in the hex hole. For the Contender I just added a machine stud to the grip cap. This works on wood and composite caps but not the rubber grip. Screw style stud work on the wood grip.Use a thick spacer or the bolt will bend under pressure.
For my Encore i made my own using a hex bolt with stud added and a spacer. I drilled and tapped the bolt head and loctited the stud. Soldered machine stud in hex bolt works also.The spacer I used pressure fit the grip making it solid and not letting the bolt bend.
The G2 is not like the origional Contender. G2 and encore use the same . Wood grips I would just use the screw type stud.I just left the cap off. If you instll cap you will need a longer bolt and need todrill hole in cap so stud fits thru.

pic 4  stock bolt, bolt with stud added, machine bolt, hex head bolt , spacer , machine stud and screw stud. Spacer is 3/4" x 5/8" and pressure fit into composite grip.  Works on both encore and G2.

Hope this helps. maybe Mark or quick2do could sticky this so it is easy to find.

     I got a couple of kits(Uncle Mike's) from Fox Ridge Outfitters last fall although a quick check on their website didn't show any.  I'd still give'm a call. 1-800-243-4570.
