Blue Force Gear engineered the Standard AK Sling from the ground up specifically for the world’s most prolific small arm, delivering the same qualities that define the AK platform itself: simplicity, durability, functionality, and economy. If the issue canvas strap has left you wanting or commercial slings haven’t fit your rifle properly, this sling addresses those shortcomings. The Standard AK Sling is purpose-built for AK-47, AK-74, and other AKM Style Rifles.
Blue Force Gear adapted the Vickers Sling platform—trusted by operators worldwide and proven in the field with over 200,000 in use with the US military—as the foundation for this design. The Vickers Sling’s quick adjust technology delivers a combat-proven track record. Like its parent platform, the Standard AK Sling features instant length adjustment with no loose sling tail and no parts prone to breaking. This design enables secure weapon retention suitable for all-day carry while remaining instantly lengthened for shouldering and firing without removing the weapon or untangling the sling.
The Standard AK Sling ships with a Molded Universal Wire Loop pre-threaded onto the front of the sling. Engineered for AK use, the UWL attaches to the elongated eyelet on the handguard retainer or gas block with nylon-coated aircraft-grade stainless steel cable, providing quiet and secure mounting. The UWL can also be routed underneath the gas tube for left-hand installation. The front-threaded UWL is removable, allowing customization for specialized applications.
