Best SKS Sling

[Paco Bedejo]

Can anyone tell me what they think the best sling would be for this SKS configuration? Please note the areas indicated in RED. These are the available sling mounts w/out modifications.

I would like something for under $50 which allows secure front/side carry. It would be nice if back carry was an option too, but that's not necessary.

I've asked google & even used google to search our site, but my search-fu isn't strong today apparently.

PS: I needed to learn how to use GIMP instead of Photoshop anyhow, so I butchered up some stock photos to show what my setup is.

All I can find is the sling shown here: Cabela's -- Advanced Technology (ATI) SKS/AK Rifle Sling

I can't tell how it would attach. Does the end illustrated on the left attach to the bayonet mount or something? Maybe I just need to drive down to 21st Century & look around.

You might try the basic original SKS canvas sling with leather tabs.

It will fit the front gas block loop as weel as the loop on the pistol grip.

It actually looks fine with "Tacticool" SKS's, and is very fuctinal. It was designed to attach more near the end of the buttstock, so will give you a bit more length making front side carry possible.

comand arms IDF Isreali department of defense sling. Or IDF sling. They run 15-25 depending on how strong your google foo is. These are popular and sometimes hard to find in stock. Im outfitting all my rifles with these. There are a few makers but I can vouch for comand arms.
