I have actually been a fan of the USAF issue nylon "seatbelt" slings for the Carbine. They are longer (52 inches, IIRC) and lend themselves to a muzzle down, under the arm, sling over shoulder carry. I have seen cheaper ones that came in on the Blue Sky Korean import carbines, but the USAF ones used in Vietnam are better quality. Occasionally I see them used, but found a source for NOS ones on EBAY for about $15.00. I ordered one for my potbelly stock.
