I have added QD sling studs in every rifle I own...

Short wood thread for front and std wood thread for butt.

I used a QD swivel kit with screw into the butt and a threaded stud in the forend with a round 'nut' on the inside.  Had to cut a larger sized hole in the inside of the forend for the 'nut'.

And... I used a shotgun kit with a barrel band on a couple of 20ga Pardners.

If it's a 45-70 BC, you'll most likely want to use a traditional muzzleloader type leather sling that attaches to the barrel well above the forend, most either use a butt cuff type or a barrel band mounted front stud. 45 Colt BC Carbines will work with regular sling studs tho with proper attention to the forend stud mounting.

I agree with Tim 100% on the Buff Classic sling set up:
 
"If it's a 45-70 BC, you'll most likely want to use a traditional muzzleloader type leather sling that attaches to the barrel well above the forend, most either use a butt cuff type or a barrel band mounted front stud."
 
It's called a Buffalo "CLASSIC", so a classic ML sling set up is the best fit for it with a butt cuff and a simple loop arond the barrel, classic in every sense of the word, and a little fringe or long hanging laces on it would not hurt either and really enhance the classic look....<><....

Here's one that was on mine when I bought it.Wrapped around and slid up and down the barrel and a lace up but pad.Worked great and sold with the gun when I got rid of it.Dave

Another good one is the 'express rifle' look, with a butt stud and the barrel band/stud in front of the forestock. The downside for me was that that screw on Uncle Mike's barrel band would shift/twist a bit; there is quite a bit of force being applied on it. It is a good, classic look though, and for safety you can do a simple loop up and over the barrel from the sling swivel so it cant all just drop out on you. 'Google' up 'express rifle pics' and you will see what I mean.

Check out 'Grovtec" for better swivels made in USA.

Great looking setup Dave. Thats just what the sling setup on my TC Renegade looks like except the sling on my TC is a buff color. It is exactly what I was talking about. I would like to get one for my Buff Classic now that I have seen this thread. I really like the traditional and classic lace on butt cuff and split leather loop just slid over the barrel with no studs. Thanks for the great picture....<><....
 
P.S. - great wallpaper/wall art...
