stap for Ak

[sting]

does anyone know where to get that strap fot the Ak? Viking i think you have one. also does anyone know where to get a tac. vest that can hold Ak mags?

silent, I know you really love MiA, but we're not the only airsoft site around.... nearly all of your questions could be easily answered by browsing/searching the other major sites such as www.airsoftzone.com  www.airsoftohio.com www.airsoftplayers.com and plenty of others.   I for one am getting just a little tired of all the new topics you've started lately posing very simple questions that could be answered by just the smallest amount of research.  Don't get me wrong, I like helping people out, but you have to show a little initiative man!

Now, on to your questions:  I'm assuming by "that strap" you mean a sling.  Pretty much any rifle sling should work on the AK, so just swing by a sporting goods store, Walmart  or whatever and get whatever you think looks good.  As for a vest to hold AK mags, I've read that some people have had luck fitting the mags in LBVs or other gear used for M16 mags, but it really depends on each specific piece of equipment.  One makers pouch might fit M16 and AK mags just fine, while another's might fit only M16 mags.   The easiest answer would be to run a search on www.google.com or any other search engine to look for gear designed just for AK mags, as you should pretty much be guaranteed a proper fit.

sorry guys. i will try other sources for help.

Sting,

Computer searches are your friend.

But, there are some really great places you can rely on for decent quality and decent priced mil-surplus....

www.cheaperthandirt.com

www.sportsmansguide.com

Or, for one of the ultimate in AK-47 knowledge sites (the real steel)

www.ak47.com

Or, just start doing some google searches on military surplus will get you wonders.  Hell, it is all over ebay too, tons of militaria... at pretty good prices usually....

But trust me, you DON'T want an AK-47 strap unless you just wanna say that you have the real deal.  They are uncomfortable and a pain....  Using a different, more modern, padded rifle sling will be much more comfortable.

Remember, there hasn't been an AK-47 made in years, so the stuff for them is really old and old-fashioned.  And painful...

Oh, and btw, when you are looking at the military surplus stuff, the most common you will find is the East German items.  It is all pretty good.

Later,

Vitalis

Silent, I'm currently selling my black LBV which should fit AK mags easy. Check the commerce section for more information.

Well Sting, you will need an AK sling, its different from other slings. I picked up an authentic one at my local gun shop for about 9 bucks, sporting good stores don’t really carry them or any military surplus. As for the mags, be careful AK mags are big and awkward, my Blackhawk Cross Draw vest holds them pretty nicely. Its obvious the vest wasn’t made for them but it does work. Hado’s LBV should work as started already.

ok thanks guys, would cabbelas have one? they sell guns and are a sportsman store. where did u get urs viking?

[Bigmack]

i don't think many sportsman use AK-47's for deer hunting....  

[sting]

hmmmm... could be. anyway where did u get urs?

[Vitalis]

Sting,

All kinds of surplus stores carry them

www.sportsmansguide.com/showad.html?promo_code=WX2&item_id=57036&ticket=12386254&urlseq=1097331260

That is the sportsmans guide link to AK slings

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2100409026

This one is for sale on ebay.

You just have to look.

I am your basic armchair survivalist, I either own or have fired the real steel of many of the guns we use in airsoft...  I also collect military surpluss stuff just cause I like it.

Trust the links I sent you, you WILL find an AK-47 strap.

And I would have to disagree with Viking on the mounting of the strap on the AK.  I used a M-60 GPMG strap on my Bulgarian AK clone for years.  Just takes a little modification to get the strap to work.

i was lookin around and i found one at www.tapco.com/product_information.asp?number=SLG8601&back=yes&dept=51&last= will this fit?

[Bigmack]

a CETME is *not* an AK 47.
a CETME is a G3 that's made on HK equipment in South America.

[Vitalis]

The link you point to goes to a CETME sling, which is a type of G3 rifle.

Yes, it will fit, but ONLY after you futz around with the damned thing.

Just GO TO THE LINKS I GAVE YOU AND SEARCH FOR THEM....

The AK-47 is the most cloned rifle in the world.....  Just about every third world goober out there has one.

those are grey and i like the brown color that the CEMTE one has.

[Bigmack]

that brown color looks like rust to me.
