Arcturus AK-12 HELP !!!!

[Sherminator1147]

Hi all, need help with my new Arcturus ak-12 AEG. I need a new sling for the gun. The sling hooks are quite awkward on the gun any help would be great. 
 

links etc… would be highly appreciated

I'm not familiar with that AEG, but from the pictures available, i looks like your rear sling mount (that hole in the rear stock near the hinge) is for a QD ('quick detach') type sling mount - e.g. one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191416931239?itmmeta=01HRS006PWDK24CSJ6RNEVRYRK&hash=item2c915693a7:g:~HAAAMXQlgtS78w6&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwJCTAfVE4%2BW0bpBhE4aIa%2BPp4TsNVv0fdi03cAE9IuIa6rQAlyJAyx%2BauRN3LiGg8g%2Fefh%2Bx8mkUZ5iY3IkQgk%2FwaqUocXjkz%2FaN%2BrgdK63F6PeslH9QzlCgwSt%2BZcGeVRX7KBwUcLJaOR5se2TGTqGzPKsXSc%2FVi80Zcb0Mx7%2BWWAvv6HtyxDpMRLfRkVIp63hjfb1jpDUWzveZ64zIEbVlvPOWyJTgsxu30OjoDvr7TNLa%2B3bokCWO%2BHoFsbN99A%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9zrgKDGYw

 

The mount on the front is a little odd - looking like it sticks out in front of the front sight rather than to the left like a usual AK. I might be tempted to use paracord to form a little loop through it, that would then be more forgiving an angle to clip the front of your sling into it - e.g. using an HK style clip: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285181190667?itmmeta=01HRS0A5Q5AV2HS9VK1YBZQZ8Z&hash=item42661fa20b:g:hLgAAOSwci9j~hlF&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwDRlQlHXZKHC93UCmme84kgQjGrfZL1fNuPAyS2HaWn2L8mXQ8Mnp%2Fwn5x3%2FR2JgHGpGOlfVQdCUjGqxMWzNciQiMuKBYZt25rO06JoZ7Vk4IbjlJesHKdt1DLS2mjbfx%2BcfbOnjdG7gc1%2F2WyYGeutRcJElNvmzaMzVDzfmEfOC%2FRN5nla360%2BftIKf%2BUgzSDmiGZLVETnIr0hYFW0%2BLMXBthdxz3L%2FlFOui3qTg2ouDQsb950lNdo18V4jssV9nA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR97bqKDGYw

 

A neat set of knots you could try for the paracord loop would be a double fishermans bend - youtube will be your friend - ultra secure, and very tidy.

 

edited - as I forgot to add that with those two attachment points sorted out, you could then pretty much use any two point sling you liked. I've made all of my slings out of 25mm webbing tape, a combination of the above attachment points, and triglide buckles that allow be to fix and remove the attachment points for use on other AEGs. I've also made adjustable two point slings, again you tube will assist. Making slings is super easy, and costs pennies - especially if you cut all the handy plastic buckles off old rucksacks before you bin the rest of the bag!

Thanks mate that’s really helped !

I have another question about the arcturus ak 12 PE (perun mosfet edition)

The one that arcturus sell says it will be fine with an 11.1v battery but when it comes to uk spec all the vendors say 7.4v is reccomended. Will I still be able to use an 11.1v battery on it or do you think it will damage it ?

My mate's tried 11.1v in his and while it cycles fine the mags can't seem to keep up with feeding because it's really chucking some ammo out. You can always use the perun's ROF reduction in the programming mode (white light) to reduce the ROF if you're adamant on using 11.1v - although 7.4v is more than enough to be fast on semi with a decent ROF in auto. 9.9v LiFe would be awesome but I doubt there's one that'd fit inside the dust-cover properly because they tend to be fucking massive lol
