I can't remember how much longer they are, but your AD should be able to order you extra long straps.

MSRP is normal pricing, set by the manufacturer (suggested retail pricing). It certainly isn't thievery, especially if it's a special order. Anything else is luck and gravy, or unauthorized. Usually some combination of the three.

You should be able to get at 25% off. Let me know if George at Govberg doesn't do it. :)

Probably not, but then again, discounts are typically offered without much provocation.

But selling things for normal pricing is not "thievery", it's normal business operation.
