You can use any U.S.G.I. 1 1/4" sling, the British L1A1 slings are pretty cheap and simple as well.
A U.S.G.I. web BAR sling might be a good choice, it`s long enough for the patrol style carry and can still be adjusted for normal carry and as a hasty sling for shooting.

Re: sling for a fal
any sling will work, IIRC my SA kits had green nylon slings covered in that baby s**t paint.
if you want a more comfortable design, check over on the falfiles and get a "Sling Thingy" they were actually called something like that. i think Gunparts guy, or rooster had them for sale. it fits between the lower receiver and the buttstock and allows for a left or right side sling.

Re: sling for a fal
British L1A1 sling are cheap and are more authentic than the US slings. The L1A1 sling is just a copy of the WWI & WWII Enfield sling. Although anything that's 1 1/4" will work.

+1 for the G3 sling. Works nice. Keeps rifle tight to the body even when climbing. Easy to fire without unslinging.

Re: sling for a fal
some weaving...more of a sling pad for an existing strap really. something similar out of real 550 would be more aesthetic i think.

Local surplus store here sells webbing for about 25 cents per foot. Two buckles cost about 50 cents each. About $2.25 for a sling...cheap but effective.

Re: sling for a fal
Just get a GI web sling for an M1/M-14. You can get them for $15 or less, and you can use them as a marksmanship aid in the hasty or loop configurations as well as for carrying the rifle. It's a great inexpensive sling for a battle rifle. I have an extra front clip on all of mine from Numrich.
