I would like to buy a surplus AK sling for my Soviet SKS. I don't care for what is correct to an SKS because the AK slings were most widely used.

 

There seems to be a cheaper leather tabbed variant(like Mosin dog collars), and another that is canvas with a metal clip. Is one better than the other? I dislike the Mosin dog collars so I'm leaning towards the metal clip type. Suggestions on what to buy?

 

Can anyone give any imput on these? They look like the AK metal clip slings, but I suspect they're repro based on price and vague description:

These are the type of slings I am more interested in:

Also, are there any 7.62x39 bandoleers that are NOT chest rigs? I have surplus 8mm on clips in a simple belt type bandoleer and I would like something similar for the SKS for no reason other than I find it to be convenient transportation.

 

Thanks!

There is a guy on AKfiles.com in the Marketplace that sells real surplus slings..

I also have a old sks slings, forget which ones, i will have to dig out.

heres some cool modern sks stuff http://www.strikehardgear.com/sks-carbine/

I believe the SG ones are Romanian, pretty good quality. The nylon ones it the first post looks like cheap crap. I would order the SG ones.

I bought the SG ones. Reviews were good, but all 3 of mine were rusty both ends. Cleaned one up a bit and most was surface rust, but still a good amount of deeper rust too. Based on the ones I got I would not recommend them and will not be using them. If anyone wants these real cheap I have no use for them.
