I haven't tried it myself, but if I were to do this modification I would take off a ring on the 6 end. Both are in a single loop of nylon, so you'll be left with one ring that will give you a bit more room for the SAR. How to do it?
Maybe.. clamp one of the rings in a vise and use a hacksaw to cut through one side. then open the ring with leverage (screwdriver?) and slide it off.
Were I to take off the label, I would carefully cut the stitching with a razor blade and under magnification. Tweezers would be a big help in pulling out the treads.
Let us kow how it turns out.
