On my 56 32sp 94 there is a sling eye, and it is touching the barrel. not hard, I can move it a little. But, I wonder if it effects accuracy? I doubt I’ll ever use it, should I take it off? And if so, how do I do that, by removing the tube?
Thanks.

I assume that the ring on the magazine tube is somehow fixed in position on the tube so it won”t slide up and down. Is thst right?
Can you tell how the ring is held in place on the magazine tube?
Is the protrusion that impinges on the barrel threaded ?
Is the ring itself solid or split and held together by a screw or pin?

It will not affect the accuracy since the mag tube is going to be connected to the barrel near the end. Its not like you have a floating barrel. Your sling eye is clamped to the magazine tube. The split in the ring looks like it runs through the eye since i can see a slotted bushing. a screw diver will tighten it if there is still clearance in the split. If it was mine I would loosen it and rotate it to the side and use a file and take some off the top so when its in normal position it clears the barrel then put a little cold blue on it.

It looks like an “Uncle Mike’s” sling attachment. If you are not going to use it, I would remove it.

Concur. He asked how to remove it. Is the protrusion at the top a screw that holds the ring pieces together?

You would have to remove the mag tube if you can’t slide it off the end.
