Looking for an AK sling

[pandemic]

Where can I find a cheap surplus sling for an AK? I looked at jgsales and aimsurplus but they didn't have surplus slings.

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has the best AK sling IMHO, it's not surplus though....it was a piece of para cord on each end, it goes around the sling loop then onto the hooks at the end, makes for a great quiet sling. You can also just use the hooks without the para cord.

Also, I think I have 2 surplus slings I got with my AK purchases...if you want I'll sell one to you, I won't really use them. Let me know, if needed I'll take some pics of them.

Thanks. I'm just getting into AKs. I made an impulse buy and now I have a tricked out WASR. lol

I think I'm going to un-trick it and get it looking traditional again. It was setup as a night weapon, but the NV optics and cool stuff weren't part of the deal.

Centerfire Systems is cheaper @ $3.99

But Copes has Leather for $5.00

Where could I find those IDF slings? I'd like to see one.

How much for one of your surplus slings + shipping? Snap a pic or two unless they look exactly the same. Please.

I'm keeping mine as is. It's little more than 2x4's and spray paint but it's still mine. I can't import it to Canada so I'm going to save for a 1911, AR, and safe. When I can, I'd like to duracoat this AK.

Wow, can't beat $4.

Not sling specific but here are some good sites to look for AK related stuff:

apexgunparts.com
centerfiresystems.com
copesdistributing.net
cogunsales.com
aimsurplus.com
k-var.com (not the cheapest, but has hard to get parts at times)

These are off the top of my head.

$4 for a sling is great but $10 to ship that sling... is not. I wish there were some gun shows coming up.

You'll spend 5 bucks or more to get in the door at a show, plus gas to get there, not to mention what you'll pay for a cardboard hamburger from a food vendor.
A shop local to me has Romanian slings for $6, so even at that, I would have to travel 30 miles round trip. Heck, even if I wanted to be a nice guy and get one of those for you and ship it out to ya, it would still cost you close to $10 alone.

I know it sounds like you are getting ripped $10 just to ship a $4 sling, but the charge is not just for postage, it's also for foam peanuts, envelopes, tape, boxes and employee wages.
If you really want to see a rip off, just pay attention to those TV ads that claim they are going to give you another trinket for free then add:"just pay seperate postage and handling". $10 for two pairs of sunglasses seems like a deal, until you add $9.95x2 for shipping.

If you are interested in a $4 sling from Centerfire, there has to be a few other odds n' ends that they have that you can buy to ease the pain of the $10 shipping.
There are a few on ebay with free shipping, but they are asking close to $10, so I don't see a huge savings.

Just a little perspective, I hate shipping fees also.

Where could I find those IDF slings? I'd like to see one.

I would also like to see these IDF slings.
