What is a reasonably strong, inexpensive sling for AKs available to purchase out there?

Not cheap, not super expensive: Vickers AK sling or go home.

I've gone to these long slings on all my rifles:

They allow for a comfortable commie carry as seen in this pic:

Being left handed these things work great:

I will always chime up for Specter Gear. I prefer them to the vickers.

Amazon has unissued Russian surplus slings for $25. The downside is the clips are so stiff you'll have to squeeze them with some pliers to get it on but once they are on it aint going anywhere. They're nice, sturdy, and smell like cedar!

@TheHungarian

That's exactly what I received a few days ago. The clips are stiff. I didn't smell it yet.

As an aside, I'm part Magyar.
