I'm thinking about getting a sling for my AK.  I'm looking at blue force gear's victory sling (unpadded) and not sure if that's a good choice for it.  So, what do u ladies and/or gents have on ur kalashnikovs?

If you want something modern, tactical and practical check out the slings by Specter.

They only have 3pt slings?  I'm more of a two pointer, rather using the swivel hook on the buttstock. thanks though!

I like cheap East German slings used with a buttstock that has the sling swivel on the side, AK74 style.

The East German slings cost $5 and can be dyed easily.

Also they are long enough to use them Commie tactical style, on the opposite shoulder.

Personally my AKs are all as authentic as i can make them.  Egyptian sling on my Maadi, Soviet sling on my Soviet AKM.  

That said, if you want a functional, quality sling, it doesn't get any better than the ones sold by Blue Force Gear.  The M-203 strapped to my side as i type this has a BFG Vickers sling on it.  Ashley (a man) stands behind his product.  In the freak chance you ever have a problem with his products he'll make it right without hesitation.  Last time i was over here (Afghanistan) we'd ordered what we later learned was a prototype SAW sling.  There was a defect in the buckles.  He sent us the proper replacements as well as extra M-4 slings as a way of saying "thanks".  They may be more sling than you're looking for, but since you mentioned Blue Force Gear, I'd rate them among the best out there.

www.onesourcetactical.com/index.asp?PageAction=PRODSEARCH&txtSearch=sling&Page=1 has a pretty good selection of two-point slings.

The Spec-Ops Mamba sling is another good one.
