Using vintage SKS sling with tapco stock?

[Jumbalaya]

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to adapt an old green Russian SKS sling to work with a tapco stock? The plastic loop on the buttstock is too narrow to be able to thread either brass end of the sling through. I don't want to alter the sling I was thinking that there must be some kind of way to fabricate an adapter loop?
Thx!

I used a heavy duty black keyring (came with a handcuff key) for my shotgun sling. Maybe you can find something similar?

Try and find a Chinese sks/ak web sling, it's got leather attachments instead of the Russian style of sks sling. Lever Arms has them on their website for $10 if you aren't familliar with the style. I put them on a few different rifles, new to old. The canvas webbing is heavy duty.

Yeah, the Chinese one would work well.

Like we did in the army. Before fancy 2 point slings, Para cord.

Like this. But loop it thru the buttstock.

I'll try the paracord thanks for the advice guys.

im having trouble with mine, was going to file the hole on the plastic ring on the tapco stock so its a bit wider. or just buy a tactical sling... if the gun itself isnt dragging on the ground lol
