Guys,

Thanks for the comments. You'll have to wait for the pictures until my camera's batteries are reloaded (misplaced the loader, but found it).

Ron: Excellent illustration and not very far from the truth, certainly not during my first attempts at positioning the straps.

Jerry: The CMR strap has a metal plate attached to one of the ends (some 3 - 4 inches from the end) which makes it difficult to get it attached to the stock and holster. Any idea if this CMR feature is based on an original one, or that perhaps it has another use?

Basically, because of the plate I had to pull the entire length of strap through the left bottom hole of the board so I could guide it along the left holster strap, the left top hole, the right top hole, the right holster strap and the right bottom hole. This feature and the fact that the 4 holes in the center leather piece did not line up with the screw holes in the board (I used the original screws and washers, not the repros), were the only complaints I had about the CMR rig. Other than that, it's very nice with enough subtleties to distinguish it from the real thing.
