Best sling?
I have a romy G/NDS3 build that I am using Tapco fusion foreend(with rail) and standard Tapco buttstock on, with bulgy waffle mags. The gun will eventually have a vertical handle and a light on it. It no longer looks like a traditional AK at all, it is all black, with a ton of polymer parts. I want a sling, but not a standard 1" AK sling, that I can use with a standard attachment (front side and rear buttstock). Since I have gone so far from tradition, and made the thing more "tacticool" than I had ever planned, I want a sling that goes in the same vein. Are there any multiple point slings I should be looking for (specifically with a buttstock wraparound) or that I should avoid?
My main concerns, in order of importance, are :
Durability/Strength
Appearance
Ease of Adjustment

I have one of these: Sayeret Special Forces Rifle Sling | ZAHAL
Seems to suffice for my purposes.

I'm curious also. I've been looking for a single point sling option for mine as I have the fixed Tapco buttstock coming in. I assume the best bet would be what you suggested a stock wraparound type of sling.

is there anything about this set-up that is bad? It looks like a great way to go from carry to fire easily with one snap, and allows you to carry high? Is it just gimmick, or is this style good?

Thanks for the pics. Do you have to have a forward mounted sling point for that to work? I ordered a regular style buttstock non-folding and the sling point is towards the rear but still on the side of the buttstock.
