Nato Bond Strap

[aleeboy]

All,

I received a Nato Bond yesterday in the mail. I was so eager to open it up and strap it on. However, I noticed that the steel (if I can call it that) fittings were very flimsy and light. It kind of felt like plastic. FYI, it was not marked stainless steel too.

I know that this Nato is not from the UK, made in HK I believe. I bought it solely because I needed it to accompany me to the beach next week, so ordering from the UK/US was not feasible.

Can my fellow TRF'ers confirm with me that Nato metalware is flimsy and light in weight? Or should I be placing an order for a better one.

Thanks,

Andrew
