As a consumer, I appreciate when a manufacturer takes time to show me how their product works. Videos like this one from Limitless Gear that shows how the Limitless Magazine Retention system (LMR) on their OPFOR Magazine Carriers works can be invaluable when you are deciding if a product will meet your needs, especially when you can’t lay hands on a product in person before you buy.

V7 Titanium QD Endplate
The new V7 Titanium QD Endplate is a drop in replacement for the standard endplate. It provides a QD sling swivel socket that can be used with single point or two point sling configurations. It also happens to be machined from titanium which makes it about 50% lighter (7.2 grams) than the standard steel endplate and gives your AR something in common with the SR-71 “Blackbird”… you know, because it had some titanium too. There is no escaping the fact that titanium is cool.
20$Bandit Urban Survival Kit Special
Most pre-made survival kits are poorly conceived and assembled from poorly made components but at least they are overpriced… oh, wait. 20$Bandit put together a quality, pre-made Urban Survival Kit that is ready to be dropped in your trunk and carried the moment you receive it.
You can read more about the contents and how they cover most basic needs on the 20$Bandit website. Some highlights include a high-visibility HonorPoint backpack that was made right here in the USA, multiple fire starting options, ways to generate and retain heat, water treatment, food, and more. While this is billed as an “urban” kit, it would also be a great start for a vehicle based cold weather kit for those in rural area.
There are only a few of these kits left but sometimes it pays to wait. If you enter the code MERRY XMAS 2014 at checkout, it will save you a tidy 20%.
SCAR 17 Muzzle Device Compatibility List
Silencer Shop just created an invaluable resource for SCAR 17 owners. The SCAR 17’s barrel is fairly thin through the shoulder so, when it comes time to choose a suppressor mount, you might find that your choice just won’t work. Suppressor mounts aren’t cheap so you don’t want to find out that one won’t work for you after you have already paid your hard earned cash.
Silencer Shop did most of the leg work for you and compiled a list detailing the compatibility of many of the most popular suppressor mounts.
