I don't like these "noose" slings. A sling over the barrels is also in the way.
Would work if carrying the gun a long way. Then completely removing the sling for shooting. But not for carrying slung then unshouldering for a shot

or in the case of many shotguns or rifle/shotgun combination guns, an attachment for a swivel is brazed to the sxs centre rib or o/u bottom barrel.
Yes. It's normally a fixed swivel. The reason I am asking about "studs" which look right.

I don't know that I would trust a sling attached to a stud on the forend.
A stud on the forend is obviously stupid as it will be under the hand. And as you say, pull the forend off.

I've often thought of putting a sling on my Miroku O/U gun
Easy. Barrel band with stud on the bottom barrel.
I'll probably get my Tikka/Valmet so modified one day.it has a stud in the butt stock I think. Have to look.
On a side by side, one of those vintage style large hole ball studs would look fine on a SS. Got to find who sells them.
