Matrix 2-Point Sling for AK Series Airsoft Rifles (Color: OD Green)

"Steel construction. Feels rugged and comfortable.

"I just received this sling today, and as someone who has done a lot of leather work/sewing/gear making over the years, I have to say that this is very well made.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the hardware is steel, not aluminum like it says in the description, (I used a magnet to confirm), which is coated to prevent corrosion. The attachment of the D-ring to the strap is with a heavy duty, toothed buckle plate which is clamped and riveted.

The other strap end is fitted with a sliding buckle, and is melted at the end to prevent fraying, and is stoutly sewn to secure the buckle. The strap keeper is a reinforced vinyl cloth with a rivet-which seems sturdy enough considering that there isn't a lot of stress on that point; and it seems to be exactly correct for Soviet slings from what I can see online.

In fact, it seems to be a faithful replica of a Soviet sling with one exception: The rivets on the Soviet sling appear to be hollow quick (akaTandy) rivets; while the ones used on this is the double-headed quick-rivet design. That is a minor quibble for a sling that costs half what the genuine Soviet slings cost.

"This is a well built sling, but you can get a real ak sling from russia for the same price.
