KeyMod fans will soon have even more options for rails. Parallax Tactical is in the process of finalizing their line up of KeyMod rails. They will be producing 7.2″, 9.2″, 11.5″, 12.2″, 13″, 14″, 15″, and 18″ length rails so you will have no shortage of options whether you have a low profile gas block or a fixed front sight base.
These rails will have a very slim 1.52″ outside diameter and weigh less than 1 ounce per inch of rail. These rails should be available in 2-3 weeks.

I recently posted a picture from Echo Nine Three that showed how to convert an old AR-15 receiver end plate into a sling mount. That is pretty interesting on its own but when you know the rest of the story, it is even more interesting. Joe, the owner of Echo Nine Three, dropped by to mention that the picture was taken inside a Land Cruiser… on an iPhone… in Afghanistan.
Cool that you posted this. The photo work was done inside a Land Cruiser in Afghanistan with a iPhone 4. HAHAHA!
I just thought it was pretty cool that Joe doesn’t let a little thing like being in Afghanistan get in the way of dropping some DIY knowledge on the rest of us. And now you know… the rest of the story!
The upcoming Low Profile Covert Bag looks to be a pretty versatile bag from ECHO NiNER. It is designed to serve as a stand-alone bag or as a camera insert for their X-Messenger Bag.
The Low Profile Covert Bag offers several internal organization features along with built in padding to protect its contents. You can use it to store your lenses, camera body, laptop, or anything else you want to protect and organize. The entire interior is lined with high visibility material so that your loose items are easier to find. The Low Profile Covert Bag nestles perfectly into the X-Messenger or you can use the integral handles and detachable padded shoulder strap to carry the bag on its own.
The Low Profile Covert Bag will be available soon from ECHO NiNER.
I have been wanting to tell you all about Mil-Spec Monkey (MSM) Adapt Pack for weeks and now I finally can! This MSM/Tactical Tailor collaboration is based on the Tactical Tailor Removable Operator Pack (ROP). The Adapt Pack keeps everything that makes the ROP great intact and, in true Monkey style, adds some very slick functionality.
The Adapt Pack is identical in size and quality of construction. The size of the ROP and its derivatives is one of its best attributes. It straddles the line between EDC bag, day hike bag, and assault bag perfectly. The Adapt Pack also retains the ability to be docked onto a larger bag or plate carrier and includes all the necessary hardware to accomplish this.
There are a handful of differences between the Adapt Pack and ROP that revolve around the idea of making the Adapt Pack, well… more adaptable. It is cleverly designed to work in either traditional 2 strap backpack configuration or as a single strap sling bag with stabilizer strap. The sternum strap has an extra removable female side release buckle. This buckle can be moved to either pack strap (fully ambidextrous) to serve as a docking point for the opposite pack strap. You’ll want to watch the video to see how it works. It is extremely seamless and the transition can actually be done while you are wearing the pack.
The single strap configuration offers the capability of being able to pull the pack around to your front to access its contents. To support this capability, the front pouch on the Adapt Pack has been modified to allow access from either side. The interior now features a large loop Velcro panel so that you can add items like Blue Force Gear Dappers or other Velcro backed pouches. You can actually mount magazine pouches inside this pouch and fight out of it like a chest rig.
I have had one of these for several weeks and I am thrilled with it. I am glad I can finally tell you about it. Stay tuned for a full review. In the mean time, check out the MSM Adapt Pack at MilSpecMonkey.com.
