I ordered an AK sling last week on eBay for under $20.00. I got it to go on a 10.5" AR pistol I have. Done this before with an SKS sling but those damn leather sling tabs dry rot like a sumbitch.
Anyway I dig this setup. Maybe because it's so wrong.

Well hold on now. My other 10.5" retroish build wound up as a 16" pin and weld transition to a carbine. I dig it a lot too. So I ordered a traditional U.S. milsurp style sling last week. It looks right but I still dig the AK sling better.

Blasphemy! Lol

If you dig it and it works, who cares really. Looks effective and stable
Yeah I just prefer a good old 2 point sling. I got 2 more Chinese SKS slings in my parts drawer. But the leather sling tabs dry rotted and had to be thrown out. Well...just a few minutes ago I found and ordered those leather sling tabs from Numrich. I hope they aint dry rotted too.
Anyway, I like to put these Commie slings on everything. I have a Hi Point 4095 carbine waiting on one now. And I might put one on a real ugly Maverick 88 pump.
 
If it works and does what you want, it's not stupid,

This stuff will help keep your leather from rotting:
