Altman c-clamp on an ETC fixture?( Bottom right of the clamp in this image)
"No c-clamp shall be provide that contains an unthreaded hole of any kind"
That ought to close the loophole...
Are they powder-coated?I just got a set of Altman C-clamps from my friendly neighborhood distributor, and noticed that there is a new hole in the C Clamp. ( Bottom right of the clamp in this image)

I can't figure out what it is for. Neither can the guys at PNTA. Any ideas?
"C-clamps shall be constructed of machined aluminum and possess a clearly-visible SWL of no less than 600lbs"
Most of the sidearms for a lot I purchased recently have similar holes in them. I assumed it was for safetying the sidearm itself, since otherwise there's no way to prevent it from falling if it's undertightened or mishandled. That being said, it still leaves the eternal question of, "What do you safety it to?" still open.
