Sling attachment guidance for the Marlin Model 795. Check your exact configuration and both connectors before choosing the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS). Factory attachment points do not by themselves confirm a direct fit.
Front attachment
Front sling swivel stud — factory attachment point.
Marlin's archived Model 795 listing describes a black fiberglass-filled synthetic stock with swivel studs. Marlin does not say where each stud sits; check under the forend for the front stud. A stud needs a stud-mount swivel. It is not a push-button QD cup.
Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud.
Rear attachment
Buttstock sling swivel stud — factory attachment point.
The same Marlin listing covers the rear stud on the synthetic stock. Confirm that it is present and tight under the buttstock before fitting a swivel.
Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud.

Why this sling on the Marlin Model 795
A rimfire spends its life being carried around a property, a range or a trapline. It is light enough that people put up with a bad sling — but the same cinch-and-release that suits a duty rifle just makes it easier to keep both hands free.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the rifle against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the rifle. Unload and clear it following the firearm manufacturer’s instructions before fitting any accessories.
- Front: confirm a compatible connector and follow the sling and attachment manufacturer instructions.
- Rear: confirm the matching connector for your stock or rear attachment; do not assume a slot, stud and QD cup are interchangeable.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Choosing hardware for your configuration
The Model 795 is discontinued and is listed by the current Ruger-owned Marlin only for support of pre-Ruger rifles. The cited page is Marlin's own archived 2018 listing for the standard black synthetic rifle. The stainless 795SS was not checked separately.
Marlin's manual for its clip-fed self-loading rifles lists no swivel stud among the 795 parts, so the stud claim rests on the product listing. A rifle restocked in an aftermarket stock may carry different hardware. Check what is fitted before choosing connectors.
Questions
Does the McLean Dynamic Retention Sling (DRS) fit the Marlin Model 795?
Compatibility depends on the exact configuration and connectors. Confirm both attachment points and the connector fit before ordering. A factory attachment point does not by itself confirm a direct fit for the McLean sling.
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Marlin Model 795?
The McLean sling already carries a front hook. Choose a compatible attachment loop or swivel for that hook, and confirm its clearance and closure on your exact setup before buying additional hardware.
What do I need to buy for the Marlin Model 795?
Front: Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud. Rear: Factory attachment point: a stud needs a compatible sling swivel to provide a loop. Confirm the swivel dimensions and attachment type; the sling hook does not attach directly to a bare stud.
What length sling do I need for the Marlin Model 795?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
