Will Larson Memorial

By on June 30, 2019 in Other

We received word that Will Larson passed away and that is a loss for our entire community. You may not know his name but there is a good chance that Will Larson has touched your life.

Did you ever receive sage, no-nonsense advice regarding AR-15s from “Iraqgunz” on an internet forum like Usual Suspects Network or M4Carbine.net? That was him. Have you ever owned a BCM or Sionics rifle? He worked with both companies (and many others). Did you ever attend an armorer’s course conducted by Semper Paratus Arms or learn from someone who did? That was Will’s company.

I never met Will personally but I and many others have benefited from his extensive knowledge of the AR-15 and his willingness to share that hard-earned knowledge with our community. My heart goes out to his family.

Will leaves behind a wife and children. He supported our community and now we have a chance to pay that back. Consider visiting the GoFundMe set up to benefit his family: Will Larson Benefit

OC Tactical Clash Keychain

By on June 29, 2019 in EDC

Thanks to Whiskey Two-Four and all their manufacturing partners, M81 webbing is starting to find its way out into the wild. OC Tactical is already putting it to good use in their Clash Keychain.

The Clash gives you a way to carry your keys and clip them anywhere convenient thanks to the steel ITW Clash Hook found at one end. I suppose it could also make a decent handle to turn your keys into a melee weapon in a pinch. You would probably earn some style points for doing that kind of thing with an M81 Clash.

New from Echo Nine Three: Eight Five Grip

By on June 27, 2019 in Guns

The Eighty Five is a new grip from Echo Nine Three that is inspired by the SVDS grip (and modern AR-15 grips). It’s basically a completely modern grip in terms of function but a real throwback when it comes to materials and looks.

The Eighty Five features a more vertical grip angle than most AK grips (85 degrees in relation to the bore… hence the name). The grip is tapered slim through the upper part to allow clearance for the thumb and trigger finger. It swells out from there to fill the rest of the firing hand.

These grips are made from Baltic Marine Birch laminate or Beech wood depending on the selected finish. They are available unfinished for DIYers who want to match their existing furniture or in accurate Russian Red and Chicom Orange shellac finishes.

New from TOPS Knives: Bull Trout and Nata

By on June 27, 2019 in EDC, Knives

TOPS Knives just released two new designs. The Bull Trout and Nata are both knives that we’ve seen before at trade shows but they are finally available for purchase.

Bull Trout

The Bull Trout is a result of TOPS 3rd annual contest where employees are encouraged to design a knife that will be put into production if chosen. This year the winner was Martin Murillo for his EDC fixed-blade design. Martin is an avid fisherman, so the Bull Trout had to excel at that. It’s got comfortable burlap Micarta handles with a stainless 154cm blade and a simple, classic chocolate leather sheath. But you don’t have to be a fisherman to enjoy this knife. It’s just a great all-around EDC blade.

Nata

Many useful tools have come from the Japanese over the years. The Nata (hatchet) is one that hasn’t received as much attention as some others, but is an excellent tool nonetheless. The TOPS Nata is Leo Espinoza’s take on a very old gardening tool. The handle and grind have been changed from traditional designs to fit TOPS/Leo’s style. It’s also full tang with grippy burlap Micarta handles and a nice leather belt sheath. Have brush that needs cleared, branches that need pruned, or are you just in the market for a small chopper with an interesting design? The Nata might just be your next tool.
