Blue Force Gear Vickers AK Sling Black Finish

The Standard AK Sling

In the world of firearms, simplicity and durability are virtues. The Standard AK Sling exemplifies these qualities with its design tailored specifically for the iconic Kalashnikov series—AK-47, AK-74, and other AKM style rifles. Crafted by Blue Force Gear, this sling is a manifestation of practicality and combat-proven technology.

At the heart of this creation lies inspiration from the Vickers Sling platform, which has seen extensive use across military forces worldwide. With over 200,000 units employed by U.S. armed services alone, its quick-adjust technology stands as a testament to reliability in high-stress environments. This innovation allows users to instantly modify sling length without cumbersome tails or fragile parts that could hinder performance.

The Standard AK Sling offers seamless weapon retention suitable for all-day carry while allowing rapid transition for shoulder firing without detaching or untangling—a critical feature when seconds matter. Its adaptability extends further; whether worn over body armor or casual attire, it accommodates individual needs effortlessly.

Molded Universal Wire Loop (UWL)

A distinctive component of this sling is the Molded Universal Wire Loop threaded at its front end. Specifically designed for compatibility with AK models, the UWL attaches silently and securely using nylon-coated aircraft-grade stainless steel cable through elongated eyelets on handguard retainers or gas blocks.

This versatile loop can also be threaded beneath gas tubes for left-handed setups if required. Moreover, customization options abound as users may remove or rethread it according to personal preference.

Rear Attachment Features

The rear section boasts dual triglides compatible with various stock types—from buttstocks and folding stocks to wire configurations—ensuring robust attachment regardless of your firearm’s configuration. Unique among slings available today is our limited edition Plum hardware option: an homage paying tribute not only aesthetically but historically too—to Russia's revered "plum" furniture era during late '80s production runs adding sophistication alongside functionally unmatched versatility offered exclusively in OD & Coyote Brown variants!
