I’m no expert on sling eyes. Most of the older lever guns I see have the inletted sling swivels. The sling eyes were more of a aftermarket add on sold by Winchester and they were put on by the factory if so ordered. Kirk, what does the gun letter with? Does it say sling eyes or sling swivels. Most of the older guns I have seen in the records just say S & S (sling swivel). If its not mentioned they were added afterwards which happened quite often and does not hurt the gun as long as they are placed correctly.
I would go with the ones that match the finish the best.
