Both of my WASR10s came with a very stiff leather sling. It seems that in everone else's pics on this forum no one else has the same stiff leather slings. They all appear to be a soft green cloth or canvas type sling. Does everyone immediately replace their leather slings with this green one, do some guns come with green slings or am I the only one getting leather?

If you guys are replacing, is there a good sponsor or someone the get the green slings??

My Wasr 2 came with the green sling.   If you want a replacement, Kvar has green and black ones.

Go to a sporting goods store and pick up some baseball glove oil or something similar.  I've been treating mine with Meguiar's Leather Conditioner.  Sold my car with leather seats and have a bottle of it sitting on the shelf.  I doubt a Romanian cow has never seen so much love!

My new WASR-2 came with the nylon green sling.

If you don't like the leather, order some East German slings at copesdist.com for 8 bucks each.  They're like the green Romys, but gray.

Or call Century and ask if they sell the nylon green slings separately.

The green slings aren't stiff.

just ask my ex-wife I'm going to make my own. I have some coyote nylon and assorted fittings, and I'm going to use the little hook from the front of the leather sling on it too.

I replaced my sling before I ever even got out of the gunshop when I picked it up.  The leather sling sucked, they had a nice wide green one and I put it on before I left the shop.  I've got a bucket of leather SKS and AK slings going now.
