RIFLE SLING:

This example of Bulgarian styled sling is the unique design for the AKSU. This is a copy of the Russian AKSU sling, but has black painted hardware and lighter weight webbing material. The leather and color of webbing is a perfect match for the pouch. Notice the sling has no hardware holding the D-ring to the webbing, and that the end of the sling is not sewn, but tipped with a sheet metal fitting. The belt buckle is not captive. This is the design also for the Russian version of this special sling.

 

MAGAZINE POUCH:

Another example of Bulgarian AK-74 pouch, a four cell design similar to above but with a heavier cotton webbing almost identical to Russian, and with brown leather tabs. Flap has Bulgarian ink stamps including the year of manufacture. Excellent fit and finish. Black painted tab thorns. Note the more blue-green color of the fabric.
