If you own one of multiple AK clones, Blue Force Gear has laid out a comprehensive how-to guide on slinging your rifle.
For example, the AKM will require a Vickers Sling with Uloop Hardware. They not only tell you how to rig the sling, but also offer links to the right parts. This one is pretty straightforward, but several are more involved and they have photos to help guide you through the process.

PROOF Research®’s latest contract award builds on their small caliber barrel technology already in service with U.S. Military Forces.
Columbia Falls, Mont. (July 2021) – PROOF Research®, has been awarded a $12.7 million contract for the development and delivery of prototype advanced composite medium caliber barrels and components for next generation weapon systems. PROOF Research is the leading manufacturer of advanced high-temperature composite aerospace/defense materials and components, cut-rifled steel and carbon-fiber composite precision rifle barrels, and custom rifle systems that deliver extreme accuracy and enhanced performance with up to a 50% weight reduction.
The program builds on PROOF Research’s successful small caliber barrel technology already in service with U.S. military forces, and will enable medium caliber weapons with increased performance that provide overmatch capability on tomorrow’s battlefield. “This project demonstrates the scalability and performance advantages of PROOF’s technology in any weapon system,” stated PROOF Research CEO, Larry Murphy. John Clements, PROOF Research VP of Business Development and Military Programs, underscores the importance of the program to defense, “It is a progression of our commercial and military small caliber products that will generate a tactical advantage in larger weapons. We are extremely excited about this opportunity to improve the tools available to our Warfighters.”
“PROOF’s composite materials technology is unique in that it opens up the weapon design space to enable performance advantages that cannot be achieved with traditional materials and techniques. We design and build medium caliber weapon system barrels and components with characteristics previously not attainable,” said PROOF Research Advanced Composites Division General Manager and project Principal Investigator, David Curliss, PhD.

Available soon from Veloxtraininggroup.com, the Velox Edition Emissary Handbrake was created at the specific request of Velox Training Group. It is custom coated with a layer of ultra grippy silicone carbide (applied by Velox Training Group).
This is a fantastic option for those who are willing to ditch some comfort for maximum grip retention and control (silicone carbide is abrasive but extraordinarily grippy).
