Sling on factory Rem LEO folding stock?

I've got an 870 Wingmaster with the factory Remington folding pistol grip stock. I use it for hunting now.

As deer season starts to wind down, I find the need for a sling (longer walks farther back into the woods).

The pistol grip has a swivel hole that's 3/4" long. Any idea what I can use to properly attach a sling to it?

I currently just have a super swivel installed in one side of the hole, but I know it's probably gonna break the pistol grip someday. I'd like to get it right before that happens.
 
Uncle Mike makes swivels for specific models of Remington police guns, including 1 or 2 for factory folding stock equipped guns. I think Brownell's and Gun Parts carry them, and I think you can buy direct from Mikes.
These attach to the factory guns with no mods needed.

Early Remington stocks had swivels attached to the holes at the bottom of the grip, and sometimes to the top of the grip.
Remington soon found out that their plastic grip was no match for the destructive abilities of cops, they broke them.

The best mount attaches to the steel stock, just behind the plastic grip. The Mike's set uses a bushing that the swivel plugs into. This is very strong, and is easily detached. The Remington factory stock has a number of holes the swivels can be atttached too, at different locations.
