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 brown slings as well as the late war / post war Bright Green.
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”
