Oh, my. I am an idiot.

No, I meant the loop under the bumperette. Do A1s have shackles there? My A2 does not.

Yon know, looking at that picture makes me wonder why anyone would want to get into a firefight where you are that exposed and have to sit on the spare to fire the weapon. Ain't no way in hell of aiming it correctly! I would rather be glued to the ground and present a very low profile as a target. :roll:

Got that right Rick! If that does not look like a posture guaranteed to stop a bullet I don't know what is.
