After some initial teething pains, the new OC Tactical Web Store is now up and running smoothly. The store features a slew of products from OC Tactical and others like the American Kami, Battle Systems, and ITW with others coming soon. It also has a live inventory so you always know what is in stock.

I use a ton of Princeton Tec (PT) products and I find their head lamps especially useful. If you use your headlamp often enough, you will eventually wear out the head strap and need a replacement. In the past, it was difficult to find anything but the more brightly colored replacement head straps that were intended for PT’s outdoor line of headlamps. If you wanted a more subdued band for your PT head lamp from the tactical line, you would probably have to contact PT directly.
Now, Tactical Distributors, is selling Multicam head straps for Princeton Tec headlamps. These are the same straps that come standard on PT’s line of Multicam headlamps like the Remix Pro that we reviewed. So, if you need a replacement strap or if you just want to replace your current strap with something more subdued, check out the Princeton Tec Multicam head straps at Tactical Distributors.
This is a great weekend to browse Tactical Distributors since they are offering 15% off to celebrete Father’s Day and their collaboration with Costa Ludus if you use the code “COSTA15”.
A skull with crossed needles is a fitting logo for tactical gear maker OC Tactical. This patch is 100% embroidered which gives it a really slick look. It is available in Coyote Tan or OD Green and looks great on the OC Tactical Grande and Mondo Patch Panels!

I have written about the Blue Force Gear UWL before. It is one of those pieces of gear that everyone ought to have in their spare parts box because it has the potential to solve so many problems.
Now there is a new Coyote Brown version available that features a socket for push button QD sling swivels along with the sling loop of the original. The Coyote Brown hard anodizing is designed to blend well with Multicam or Coyote Brown slings from Blue Force Gear like the Vickers Combat Applications Sling.
The addition of the push button socket also opens up some interesting possibilities for transitioning from a 2 point to a single point sling. If this is used as your rear sling mount toward the back of your receiver and you use a push button QD sling swivel as your front mounting point, then this will allow you to turn your sling into a single point. This works especially well on rifles like the FN SCAR that have a rear sling hook right where the stock meets the receiver.
You can check out the new Coyote Brown version of the UWL with Push Button Socket at BlueForceGear.com. Stay tuned for a full review with some ideas for how you can make use of this new UWL.
It takes time and practice to develop a fairly smooth, reliable, and repeatable AK-47 reload. If you try to go faster than your training will allow, it is very easy to end up fighting your way through a stinker of a reload. That is why the new MFER AK47 Magazine Funnel from Solar Tactical has piqued my interest.
I know almost nothing about it other than its main purpose is to act as a flared magazine well or mag funnel not unlike what you might find on a 1911 or Glock. The flat, non-beveled magazine well of the AK-47 can be easy to miss when you are really hustling and even a small miss can result in the magazine entering the well slightly canted which causes binding. The MFER appears as it could make reloads more forgiving.
The MFER AK47 Magazine Funnel is made from polymer and has stainless steel hardware. It attached to your AK with modifications to the rifle itself. It will fit most AK-47s and AKMs, including Saigas. It will not fit standard Yugoslavian AKs.
