Are the Yugo SKS and M70, M72 slings all the same sling? I am talking about the green sling with the flat metal tab on one end and a curved flat hook on the other. I know that the SKS 59/66 rifles come with this sling but am unsure about the AK rifles. Did they use the same for both? I have an M72 and an M70AB2 and want to sling them each. |

Thanks for the Pics!! I have not see any of the clip-on Yugo slings, but I have seen the hook type slings all over the place. Including on new Yugo SKS rifles. I figured the Army would use the same sling and save having to produce another. I was at a gunshow this weekend and picked up two Yugo SKS/AK slings for $4 each. Is that a good price? I have also seen a lot of east German Blue/Grey clip on type slings but wanted to keep it as authentic as possible with my two Yugos. MJKBERG |
Do you have any pics? That reminds me of a guy on Gunco named Ned Haken who sells them, harping about them being the only true M70 slings. I've had dealings with him... he's a snake. I've had many SKS/M70 slings and I have noticed what i consider to be manufacturing variations. I have had some that the clip is wider than others, and the greens have been different too. I thing it's a manufacturing issue. The same as with the Krink swivel slings, you'd hold 10 of 'em in you hand and they'd all be different colors. Every time I wash one the color fades also. |
Who cares. You spent $4.  I would guess so, I havent ever seen AK slings go for to much unless they are some "Spetznaz Commando Cosmonaut" version.

Actually I do recall seeing a guy on ebay with a whole clothesline full of Yugo slings and they were around $10-$20 each. In that case I got a deal. My sling is like the first of the two pics but with no rust. The east german slings I saw were going for $10 each. I think there are more east german slings than there are East German AK's on the market. |
