uh...all the Euros I have ever seen only have 1 clip. It feeds thru the rear mount, then thru the slide, then clips to the front point.
this is an AA-OK Russian tan sling

Rotdorn,
Are the Russian slings from AK-USA and Tantal just like that too? none have two metal clips? Maybe I am mistaken then, I must be. The ones from Hi-Vel (AA-OK) are authentic russian then correct? I'll have to get me one of those too! Thanks for correcting me! |

Yup, those say Made in Russia alright. The ones I got from Tantal had a clip on one end only. Also the boonie hats they had look nothing like the ones Tantal sells.
Even if you could find one with 2 clips, I would prefer 1, as it is less metal clanking around. BTW the one in the above pic came from AA-OK. |

Perhaps the slings with 2 clips are for the AKSU/or folder models?
I'm with RotDorn on preferring only 1 clip, 1 is noisy enough. The one on AKUSA's site looks like it's really noisy between the clip, sling mount and aluminum buttstock. I've read that a small piece of aquarium air line slid over the clip quiets them down and reduces scratches but I haven't tried it yet. I've got some in my attic, might have to give it a try. |

Some clear heatshrink tubeing would also work, and possibly be a bit cleaner and more form-fitting. |

BaNo, that sounds like a far better alternative.
I've got some errands to run, think I'll pick some up and try it tonite. |

Will do. I have a feeling I should be able to find the shrink tubing in black which would be fine for this Rommie sling. Clear would probably be better for the gold colored hardware on the Russian slings though.

shrink rap in black is common and would work great. also you can take a old bike tube and cut it up then carefully superglue it tight
