Ultimate rifle case, not so great sling

I bought a ModGear Ultimate Rifle Case (42", OD green) for the SCAR; really like it, lots of pockets, fits the rifle really well, appears to be good workmanship. Thought of going with tan to match the rifle but the green looks good. Getting it online was almost $30 cheaper than buying it locally (~$50 vs. ~$77 at WCA with tax, or 54% more); I like to buy local when I can, but not at that premium. You can also see the anarcho-capitalist flag I picked up from eBay recently in the background.
The KNS AR-15 sling I bought for it unfortunately didn't fit—one end was a normal strap on a quick-release buckle, the other a swivel; the swivel didn't fit into the SCAR's attachment point. Hard to see the sizes on the site; live and learn, etc.; I'll keep it to use on my 10/22 (when I attach swivel mounts, perhaps for Appleseed), or some other rifle, or as a backup for the AR-15. I've ordered a replacement sling—and a scope, both from Botach Tactical, but they delayed the scope "3-4 weeks" even though they said nothing about it before the order was placed, which seems like a dirty trick from here.
