Best source for Chinese SKS Sling?

[Hobnob]

I'm looking for a sling to attach to my Type 56 SKS. I've seen them on eBay, Amazon etc... but I've read some are of lesser quality and some don't even attach to the rifle properly using the factory mounts.
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I have a few firearms that wear those slings, five in total and they are great. Leather parts are thick and real leather, and the webing is strong. Hopefully they get more, for $10 you can't beat them.

Are you referring to the ones that have the spring attachments as opposed to the leather loops?

I have an extra one to sell for sure. If you can't find one go ahead and PM me.

The Chinese sks and ak47 sling has the leather loops, the Russian sling has the spring clip at the muzzle end.

My unissued ChiCom came with the spring mounted sling. My impression was that this version was best suited for the jungles of Vietnam, whereas the leather looped slings would rot in the humidity.
Note: my sling has actual springs on each end that must be threaded onto the mounts. I don't use mine because it was scraping the bejesus out of the metal.
