Chi-Com AK Sling. These are original, 1960's / 1970's vintage military surplus Chinese Type 56 slings designed for use on the AK Rifle. This style sling features a leather tab at one end of the sling that laces through a square buckle creating a loop at the rear of the sling. The leather tab is affixed to the front of the rifle and the rear loop is run around the sling swivel at the rear. We have the hard to find 1960's brownish color slings.
The stamping on the brown slings translates to: SLINGS FOR TYPE 56 7.62mm SUBMACHINE GUN
(The Chinese referred to the Type 56 AK and subsequent versions as sub-guns until the Type 81 Auto Rifle)
*It wasn’t until the Type 81 that the Chinese referred to their rifles as “auto rifles”

AK-47 Blank Firing Adapter (BFA). These are BFA's for the AK-47 in 7.62x39. BFA is predrilled to work with many surplus blanks / guns, however some rifles / blank combinations require more gas pressure. Styles vary based on availability, but all can be made to work with just about any surplus style AK rifle with a threaded barrel.
The smooth body BFA have an opening of .250, the fully knurled tend to run about .205 and the smooth with knurled top around .180. If you have difficulties with a BFA, you can place a thin washer with a smaller hole (it must have a hole to relieve back pressure) inside the BFA before installing. Changing washers / disks gives you the ability to fine tune your rifle. As a starting point, try .180 as this should make any riifle work. If the brass is hevily deformed, work up to a .205 hole and see if it will still cycle without deforming the brass. Most rifles will work best in this range.
To install, simply remove the muzzle device currently on your AK and thread on. Overall condition is excellent used. The style may vary slightly based on country of manufacture and availability. BFA's can easily be painted. Price is per piece. Currently we have the smooth body with the .250 starting hole. Learn More
