Sling for AK

[Guest bkelm18]

I've never had a sling for any of my long guns before but I would like to get one for my AK in the severely unrealistic event I have to carry it "over the river and through the woods" at some point in the uncertain future. So if you could, school me on slings and what you think the best options are. Thanks a bunch.

Co a search on Youtube.com there are several video's that demonstrate each type of sling as well as their strengths and weaknesses depending on the situation. I still haven't decided what is "best". Anyone else wanna jump in?

I'll be watching this one also. I have slings on two guns and I'm not really satisfied with either but don't really know what I want or need.

This is my favorite. I have them on most all of my defensive longuns.

This is my favorite single point sling, if you prefer or need those depending on your set-up.

Great thanks. What are the pros and cons of Two Point and Single Point slings?

One of the finest slings ever produced was the G.I M-1, M-14 web sling, and CDNN has them brand new surplus in olive green for $6.99. I have them on my AR's and have used them on a host of other military rifles. The only kicker is that they are 11/4" wide, so you'll need to measure your swivels before ordering one. Look here:

I saw this video posted on the AK Forum and thought it gave a pretty good discussion of single point vs. 2 point slings.
