The_Lord_Poncho Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 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!
