Gerben, I cannot say where CMR came up with this goofy idea. It has no use I know of. The only other metal plate on originals is the metal belt clip found on some Imperial Navy straps.
The Original Artillery strap is never found with a metal plate attached to my knowledge.
You are correct..this metal plate makes it very hard to thread the straps into the stock and holster.
CMR should fine tune some of the details on their holsters. It would be so easy to do and make their products so much better.
