但MO在博客里回答玩家问题时，也有提到带拉链的1961。
what is your opinion of the LBT 1961 with zipper? you ‘ve had problems with the opening in the zipper?（你对拉链版的1961是什么观点？你遇到过任何问题吗？）
‘’ I love the zipper and have never had an issue. It makes the Rhodesian that much more user friendly. Our snipers were the ones who asked for the zipper. That way they can open up the Rhodesian if they needed to lay extra flat and not have all there mags in the way. Also, in the jungle or hot environments you can unzip and cool off a bit as well’’（我很爱拉链版的胸挂，也从没遇到过任何问题。事实上有了拉链更好用一些。我们的狙击手是那些提出需要拉链的人。那样的话他们能在需要完全趴平的时候解开拉链且没有任何弹夹会妨碍到他们。当然如果是在丛林或者特别热的地方，你也可以解开拉链来透透风）
