Do any of you guys have a recommendation for a sling to work well with a AK-47 underfolder? There are 2 point to connect to but the distance is pretty short.
 
Blue Force Gear makes nice stuff. Knotted shreds of fabric, or extension cords also work in a pinch.

For an underfolder I'd stick with a basic two-point sling. All of my underfolders rock basic combloc surplus slings.

For an underfolder I'd stick with a basic single-point sling since the connections are so close to each other. All of my underfolders rock basic combloc surplus slings.

You doing the surplus as a 2 point and drawing up the slack?

Yes, an old ratty Lowe's extension cord that has turned that yellowish color from being in the sun too long. Bonus points it it was a grounded plug that you cut the ground off to use in a 2 plug outlet.

Khyber pass style.

Idk about a single point on an AK. That’s a lot of weight to smack ya in the boys.

I just reread my reply and it was super confusing because I misspoke - my bad. I've drawn up the slack on those surplus slings, yes. But they are basic two-point slings, not single point. Sorry about that. BFG/Vickers has some 2-to-1 options that are excellent.
 
I 2nd the bfg vickers sling even though the name sucks I love mine the tag end is very easy to grab to loosen the sling.

Does it get tight enough for the underfolder? I've tried a few of my AR slings and they are too loose - would like an adjustable like the Vickers so I could carry it high and tight but easily lengthen if needed to deploy. Thanks to both of you for the suggestions.

Not sure. I ran it with a qd slot at the back of the receiver with another qd at the front of my 13" rail just to try it. Whatever that distance is I was able to get it tight enough. But I'm pretty fat so there is quite a bit of man the darn sling has to go around. I'm 5 10 I think 250? Maybe 260 idk. I'm a desk jockey if that gives you any kind of visual explanation.

I ordered one of the BFG Vickers AK slings for my other AK a week ago and am expecting it today - can't wait to try it on the underfolder.
 
Not a fan of a single point in a underfolder. I just use mil spec com bloc.
