That link you posted Grease monkey wasn't even close to the one i have. No disrespect you never seen one before , you  thought it was a modified Mosin sling.

And it was not only with me, but another member as well apparently had the same findings.
Same here.   :-\

Without a link or something more definitive, maybe clearer search terms, something.. it's anyones guess.

And no disrespect to you. If you go back and look, it's not only just me whos first though was, it was a Mosin sling.
 
I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse......

Leave the gun, take the cannoli.

I said I was an addict........I didn't say I had a problem

I guess I'm still in the dark as to what it is because Pinterest is just a pic housing deal and dont exactly say what rifle its for.  :-\

Chinese SKS slings. A rare late 1960's version top with strap and buckle attachment points retained by "D" rings front and back. Simple zinc buckles are used. The strap attachments are retained by a single rivet. The bottom is the typical T-56 style sling used by China. A rear swivel was utilized and the sling fed back through the green painted zinc buckle to attach on the forward sling point with a small leather strap doubled back over itself.  The forward "D" ring that retains the front leather strap is green painted as well. This is the most common style sling seen on the SKS rifles in the US and is a typical sling set up for the T-56.

Now how rare... considering that page was updated in '08-'09 timeframe, about 10 years ago... how many hundreds have sold on Ebay and other places since..

It's just an odd variant of the Type 53 sling. I've seen a few that came back from Vietnam. I had one with the odd leather/buckle on one end and a standard SKS leather tab on the other end, it was clearly a field job.

Here is one for sale on a cool site with nothing but bring back items: https://enemymilitaria.com/product/chicom-type-53-north-vietnamese-army-viet-cong-k-44-sling/

If you haven't browsed it before it's worth a look...

That would look sooooo very cool on my T53.

But, IIRC....that was the same price that the gun had on it when I parlayed it into a swap....I will have to be on the lookout for an uninformed seller.

so...too rich for Hell Blood?

That sounds like a very bad band name...  :))

Hi guys i have a 6 digit ghost Chinese sks that came with this sling , but can't find any information on it . Thanks

Your sling is a great find! It's a legit Chinese variation. I have a new one dated 1959 intended for a Type 56 weapon, which of course, Mosins are not, so it isn't a Mosin sling.

It most likely came out of Albania with the latest influx of Chinese SKS's.

I'd be very interested in it if you wanna part with it. Jon
