Dark Timber Custom Knives Caveman Ring Fighter Bowie

Ring fighters are classic fighting knife patterns that incorporate a ring for the user’s index or middle finger. The ring serves as a retention aid and a guard. Typically, this ring amounts to little more than a steel loop but Dark Timber Custom Knives’ Caveman Ring Fighter Bowie has more than just a steel loop… It has a freakin’ knuck growing out of it!

Look at it!

The Caveman Ring Fighter Bowie is hand forged from 1/4″ thick San Mai steel. It’s 9″ blade has a distinctive clip point befitting it’s “bowie” moniker. The full tang is clad with desert ironwood handle slabs.

Aero Precision AR-15 Quantum Free Float Handguards

Aero Precision’s new AR-15 Quantum Free Float Handguards are now available. These handguards are similar to their existing AR-15 Enhanced Handguards except the Quantum Handguards have a modular top rail so the end user can place rails only where necessary or remove them completely.

Like the AR-15 Enhanced Handguards, the new Quantum Handguards are compatible with Aero Precision’s M4E1 upper receivers or can be used on any receiver with the addition of the BAR barrel nut. They are available with KeyMod or M-LOK attachment systems.

Advanced Holster Discreet PDW Concept

With a little imagination, you can sometimes combine off-the-shelf components into something that is greater than the sum of its parts. That is the case with a very cool PDW bag concept that Advanced Holster has come up with.

A 7.5″ AR-15 pistol equipped the @lawtactical Folding Stock Adapter and a small loadout arranged on an Advanced Holster Snatch N’ Grab panel. Carry your PDW and keep your gear ready for action. This setup can be transferred to almost any commercial pack on the market allowing the user to blend into their environment without drawing unwanted attention.

A video posted by Brent (@advancedholster) on

The bag conceals an 7.5″ AR-15 pistol with a full loadout of support gear. The bag could be any bag with any appearance. The AR-15 pistol makes use of a Law Tactical AR Folding Stock Adapter to fit in the bag without the need to disassemble. The gear is organized and supported with an Advanced Holster Snatch N’ Grab Modular Loadout Panel.

The concept works especially well because it can be placed in any bag that will fit it and it organizes the gear better than most dedicated PDW bags.

Armageddon Gear Grippy Thing

If you shoot suppressed enough, you will eventually experience a stuck suppressor. The new Armageddon Gear Grippy Thing can help you remove it by enhancing your grip and it can be stowed on your gear in a variety of ways.

The Grippy Thing consists of two main parts – the grip pad and the hanger. The grip pad is laser cut Hypalon with a bungee cord to keep it folded and a side release buckle to connect it to the hanger. The hanger is a Velcro lined webbing strap that can be attached to just about anything – packs, belts, range bags, and more.

Old School or New School – MDFI

MDFI recently shared a graphic that they created on their Facebook page. I thought it was worth sharing here.

It’s a good reminder that doesn’t matter if you like plastic or walnut, Melonite or blued steel, kydex or leather. Times change, gear changes, the people using the gear changes, and even training changes… but the need to train never does.
