Monday, December 1st, 2014

Due to an overwhelming demand, Blue Force Gear is offering a second version of the Vickers AK Sling. Functionally similar to the Version 1 sling, the Vickers AK Sling V2 features a brand new front connection piece in the Universal Wire Loop – Push Button, which uses a high heat resistant, non-marring, nylon coated stainless steel cable.

Like the AK Sling V1, the V2 features custom “plum” polymer hardware, leather pull tab pieces, and ink stamping complete with inspector’s proof stamp.

The Vickers AK Sling V2 will only be available in a limited quantity, so if how quickly the last batch sold out is any indication, you’ll want to get your order in ASAP.

Available in Coyote Brown and OD Green.
