    I’m assuming this was originally an idea intended to slim down the dress (less equipment at the hips) for certain specialist missions.

    Nah, it’s just like 90% of aftermarket parts for the AR. It’s sole purpose is to look cool to guys who are in private militias.

    Deployed troops are rarely issued sidearms, and when they are it’s primary purpose is typically just dressing for officers. Plus, that wouldn’t last a month on deployment, it’s held together by a plastic alligator clip and a pin set into plastic. Shit would be flopping open and getting caught on straps all day.

        Pssh, you don’t need to clean your rifle. What you need is a couple extra pounds of weight in your stock. I am designing a new attachment for the AR that molds the butt stock into the shape of a rucksack.

        This sounds unwieldy and unnecessary, but we’ve designed your rucksack to be easily stored away in your rucksack for safe keeping.
