Best ak sling
Just an amazing sling hands down. Great quality. It's the only sling I will use on my ak's now. My only wish is they would make a padded option.
The Standard AK Sling was designed from the ground up to be the perfect sling for the world’s most prolific small arm to match the qualities of the AK – simple, durable, functional, and comfortable. If you have been long dissatisfied with the issued canvas strap or can’t seem to get commercial slings to fit right, this sling is for you. The Standard AK sling is what you want for your AK-47, AK-74, or other AKM style rifles.
We started with the Vickers Sling platform used by good guys the world over. With over 500,000 in use with the US military, the Vickers Sling with its quick adjust technology has a track record of being combat proven.
The Standard AK Sling maintains the same instant adjustability that has made the Vickers Sling but with a shortened, value engineered quick adjust pull tab. Like the Vickers Sling, the Standard AK Sling can be instantly lengthened and shortened with no sling tail to get caught or parts to break. This allows close, secure weapon retention that can be carried all day, but instantly lengthened to be shouldered and fired without removing the weapon or untangling the sling. The sling can be sized to the individual, with or without body armor or other gear.
The Standard AK Sling comes with a Molded Universal Wire Loop™ for the perfect frontend sling hardware attachment point. Best suited for the AK, the UWL™ attaches to the elongated eyelet on handguard retainer or gas block quietly and securely with nylon coated aircraft grade stainless steel cable. The UWL can also be passed through underneath the gas tube for left hand installation. The UWL is threaded on the front and can be removed for a more custom application. The rear of the sling features two triglides to attach to buttstocks, folding stocks, wire stocks, or any other stock type.
At Blue Force Gear, our slings are sewn right here in the USA: making this the best sling for your AK. We take great pride in American Manufacturing and the attention to details our experts provide. From the quality of material to sewn in details, the Standard AK Sling comes with lifetime warranty.
The Triglides and Quick Ajuster are built with lightweight glass reinforced DuPont Zytel® Nylon hardware that lays flatter for comfort while carrying an AK.
As seen on this AKS 74, a sling utulizing the Universal Wire Loop system was created for a custom build. For additional color options for your sling, simply use the Custom Sling Builder: Kryptec Highlander, Kryptek Tropic, Multicam Black, Multicam Arid, Multicam Tropic and more colors are available.

"These slings are awesome! After having a "Clip" let go and drop my Arsenal SLR 101S on the deck from using a competitors sling, I switched to the Vickers Sling for all my long guns"

Just an amazing sling hands down. Great quality. It's the only sling I will use on my ak's now. My only wish is they would make a padded option.
I bought the standard ak coyote brown sling, it functions wonderfully. It handles heat very well I thought the plastic wire coating would melt from the hot metal near the gas tube not to mention the direct heat from the barrel… nope! The pull tab to loosen and tighten the sling is innovative. I’d rate higher but the mobile version for reviews is kinda messed up. 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was bit hesitant to purchase the sling due to cost but I'm so glad I did because I am immensely happy with it. Very simple, sturdy and the OD green color looks awesome on my Zastava Zpap M70 rifle with walnut wood furniture. I would definitely purchase it again in the future.
Best sling ive bought so far , definetly worth the price Simple but high quality Wire loop is great for Type 81 front sling mount I will be getting a wire loop for the rear sling mount instead of having the sling loop around the stock
Really appreciate the simplicity and quality of this product. Works for all my needs in general shooting or any shtf senerio. Fast shipping and easy online shopping experience. Thank you Blue Force Gear for providing us with this excellent, must have sling for our AK's.
This is the best option I have found for the AK. The color contrast on the pull tab is cool! I have two of these and I have one issue with them both. When aggressively and/or repeatedly sliding the pull tab adjuster, it eventually moves the buckle and the sling can come undone. It happened to me in the middle of a match. Now, once I get them adjusted how I like them, I sew the two sides together near the buckle so it can't move. Great product!
I’ve always been a fan on the BFG slings since I was issued one in the Marines and when I picked up a new AK, I had to give this one a try. Their wire adapter is fantastic and doesn’t scratch the piss out of everything up there like the traditional hook does. Plus it’s much quieter. In general it’s just a very well made sling.
I just bought and received the Vickers AK sling for my NPAP underfolder and couldn't be happier, this sling is beyond functionally perfect! It makes transitioning from rifle to pistol a breeze, as well as make carrying my rifle comfortable, I'm also highly pleased with the coloration of the OD green sling and FDE tan pull tab for easier and acquisition. Thank you for making such an awesome product!
Vickers AK sling works out on my VZ 58, like the adjuster no worries of slipping, good material.
