The Standard AK Sling by Blue Force Gear stands as a testament to simplicity, durability, and functionality—all hallmarks of the iconic AK platform. Designed from scratch to complement the world's most prolific small arm, this sling is an answer for those long dissatisfied with traditional canvas straps or ill-fitting commercial alternatives. Whether your allegiance lies with the AK-47, AK-74, or other AKM style rifles, this sling is crafted precisely for you.
Inspired by the Vickers Sling—a model trusted by over 200,000 US military personnel—the Standard AK Sling boasts quick adjust technology that has been combat-proven time and again. Like its predecessor, it can be instantly lengthened or shortened without any trailing tail or fragile components prone to breakage. This feature allows for secure weapon retention throughout prolonged carry while enabling rapid deployment when needed—without removing your firearm or wrestling with tangled slings.
The versatility of this sling extends beyond mere adjustment ease; it's designed to fit comfortably whether you're clad in body armor or not. At its front end lies a Molded Universal Wire Loop (UWL), ingeniously devised for seamless integration with elongated eyelets on handguard retainers or gas blocks using nylon-coated aircraft-grade stainless steel cable—ensuring silent and steadfast attachment. For left-handed users—or custom applications—the UWL threads through underneath the gas tube effortlessly.
The rear section showcases two triglides adaptable enough to secure buttstocks, folding stocks, wire stocks—essentially any stock type imaginable. Adding a unique aesthetic touch are limited-run Plum hardware variations available on OD and Coyote Brown slings—a nod towards Russia's famed "plum" furniture from the late 1980s era.
In essence, Blue Force Gear’s Standard AK Sling embodies what every serious rifleman seeks: reliability under duress paired with intuitive usability—a perfect match indeed for such legendary firearms as these.
