I used this thread as a guide to attaching a sling to my AK pistol. I put the loop around the pistol grip retaining screw for a little bit more support, but I think the way dfwgun shows in his thread would work just fine also. I'm using a Magpul MS2 sling right now, and it works very well in single point and two point mode. I added another small loop of paracord on the front sling mount also, to accommodate the clamp on the MS2 sling which was just a tad bit too big for the factory sling mount.
Feel free to post your ideas, and pictures of how you attached your sling! |

I saw where someone used nylon strapping, like from a sling which had a quick release buckle right behind the grip. Only got a quick look, but looks like he did something similar to the para-cord thing you did. I hope he sees this and posts his pics. Don't have one, yet, but working on it.

Anyone source a folding loop to mount at the side rear of the receiver? I'll try to find a pic as I know its a factory part on some AkK variants.

What I really would like to do is weld a Yugo rear sling loop to either the end plate or in the place it would be on a Yugo. But I know less than nothing about welding. Any info?

I drilled a hole in the back plate and put a single point sling in it. Works great and can be quickly attatched/removed. The cost was $7 for the mount and $4 for the leather Hungarian sling.

There's the Tapco "Single Point Sling Nut" for $6.99 with your own bolt:
http://tapco.links.channelintelligence.com/pages/prices.asp?sSKU=STK6601&nRGID=2414 and the eyehole "Clip Sling Mount" for $12: http://riflestocks.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=104&products_id=336&osCsid=3500be9a41b008fdb954d767fd14e39 Other suggestions in previous posts also good options. Haven't yet decided on which I will use on my 1st Draco which I ordered a few days ago. |

I drilled and tapped the center back of my Yugo pistol for a Yankee Hill 360 degree swivel base that has the uncle mikes TYPE post in the center except it swivels 360 and made an 1.25 nylon adjustable sling for it so it hangs very nicely under my right shoulder and comes up so very fast. I got pics but don't know how to post. If anybody interested e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send you one...........

I'm thinking about picking this up and doing the drilling & tapping:
http://riflestocks.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=308 I like the idea that it'll quick-release and swivel. Anyone use this set-up or something like it? I have a tap wrench and #21 bit/10-32 tap combo waiting to be put to use but I'd like to know what the general opinion on that swivel is before I order. Thanks! |

I dont know how some of yall did this, my rear trunion was too hard for a carbine bit. ........ideas?
I am thinking of making a small metal plate with a loop on it and tac welding it to the rear and repainting it. |

Also, this rivet pattern looks like you have an underfolder trunion........note the layout on the other pics compared to this http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4009/4325275888_8a1aab6a28_b.jpg I think it's an AMD65 side folding trunnion.... here's what it looks like inside... The rivets toward the front of the gun are not attached to anything, they are just there I'm guessing to fill some holes that might have been in the receiver. |

heres my method used a ar15 butt sling mount i had laying around. mounted it fixed with the sling mount hanging over to the left of the gunhttp://i48.tinypic.com/v32lh2.jpg That's a pretty good idea, looks good! Your Draco has got to be in the top 3 best looking AK pistols I've seen yet. |

ok here i go. this is one of those stupid ? but i gotta ask. i bought a sling for my draco all fine and dandy. my ? is how would i use it to better my shooting experence.
|
|
use reverse sling pressure to steady the weapon wile fireing. increases accuracy of fast follow up shots in the adsence of a stock
|
|
Reverse Sling Pressure. Push the pistol out away from your body, tight, against the sling. Never a stupid question.
|

I use this, it is called a VM1
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i68/eastbaysti/Draco/akplatevm1.jpg Easy to install and requires no cutting or any hard work. Just remove PG slide in between PG and receiver and re-attach :D -GioM |

Got bored tonight.... I was going to do the 550 cord idea, but could only find my OD green and not my black cord. GioM inspired me to try something different
I took some of my flat bar left over from the "poor man's bending jig" and Dremeled until I got this. I also heat treated the sling attachment end. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q170/defender92/S3010120.jpg Here it is attached to the rifle... I mean pistol. I was surprised to find that there was no play, it fits pretty tight. Tomorrow I will sand blast and paint. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q170/defender92/S3010117.jpg http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q170/defender92/S3010118.jpg |

How did you attach it? It doesn't look like either of those holes would reach the pistol grip bolt.

Thank you for the link. 5 for $7 + $2.40 for shipping. Anybody wants to splite these? |

So, did I miss the thread or reply that says how it is attached? Do the holes line up with the pistol grip bolt or do you have to drill another one? What's up with it?

|
so you're saying it is just basically wedged between the grip and receiver? Just the pressure is holding it in there?
