Don’t come on to SSD and attempt a hatchet job on your competitor in my comments section. And don’t go one step further by sending me a bunch of “evidence” attempting to make the case that a company is violating federal law. I am not going to fall for bullshit and in fact, will turn the tables on you.
You better make sure the juice is worth the squeeze if you are going to insinuate I’m on the take. I’m coming for you.
Blackheart International offered this sling attachment tip.
It’s something we see all too often, and it drives us crazy…people attaching their rifle sling to the inside of their stock. Slings should be attached to the outside of the stock (the trigger hand side of the rifle). Doing so allows the stock to fit tight into the shoulder when the shooter’s support arm takes up the slack in the sling. A tight fit into the shoulder will provide much more stable shooting geometry and improved accuracy than if the sling is mounted on the inside of the stock. When the sling is adjustable, as in the case with the BHI Quick-Adjust Weapon Sling, stability and accuracy is further enhanced.

The decision is currently with the Secretary of the Army, The Honorable John McHugh. It is now his announcement to make. For the past month or so I have believed that the Army would make the announcement for the way ahead regarding camouflage on the Army birthday, June 14. This date has been used several times over the past decade to announce uniform changes, starting with both the ACU and UCP in 2004.
We may well see something from the Secretary before then, but I would not get worked up if we don’t see an announcement before the 14th of June.
