Operator Survival Tool 2.0

By on March 30, 2017 in EDC, Guns

If you have a battery storage stock or grip and you don’t keep batteries in the compartment, this could be for you. The Operator Survival Tool 2.0 (OST 2.0) consists of a small knife sharpener, small ferro rod, an AR-15 multi-tool/scraper, and a small plastic container, all of which is the same size as two CR123 batteries. That means the entire kit fits most battery storage compartments.

The scraper/multi-tool is made from D2 tool steel. It has shaped edges that allow to scrape the contours of an AR-15 bolt tail, behind the lugs, and down inside the carrier along with other functions like driving screws and prying. The container can also be used as a handle for the ferro rod or sharpener which is nice considering how difficult it can be to use small sharpeners and fire starters.

PACELids – Add Storage Capacity to Your Water Bottle

By on March 29, 2017 in EDC, Survival

PACELids are a replacement lid for many of the common wide mouth water bottles on the market like Nalgene (and similar), Klean Kanteen, and more. In addition to keeping your water where it belongs, they also have a watertight storage compartment. This compartment can be used to store whatever you want – first aid items, survival kit items, snacks, water purification tablets, or anything else that fits.

If you are already carrying a compatible water bottle (or two), PACELid could be a great way to organize smaller items that would otherwise be knocking around in your pack.

Forward Controls Design EMR-A Ambidextrous Magazine Release for AR-15s

By on March 29, 2017 in Guns

Forward Controls Design will be releasing their EMR-A (Enhanced Magazine Release – Ambidextrous) soon and functional prototypes are already out in the wild making an appearance at Cola Warrior West III.

The EMR-A will be available with 2 lever options: standard and extended. The images that accompany this post show a prototype of the standard lever. The extended paddle will be just .09″ longer but because of how the assembly levers on the receiver itself, this little bit of extra length results in a lot of additional leverage. As is typical for Forward Controls Design, great care has gone into the shape of the lever with its shallow “V’ shape and serrations.

The EMR-A will also come with FCD’s new extra power magazine release spring. This spring offers 60% more resistance than the standard spring to prevent accidental activation of the magazine release. FCD has stated that their design for the EMR-A is not prone to accidental activation but they feel that the stock spring is underpowered. The spring is available for purchase separately.

You can expect the EMR-A to be available in a number of different bundles with either lever and the option to add one of Forward Controls Design’s EMR and EMR-C magazine release buttons. Stay tuned for pricing and availability information.
