Brownells’ own house brand AR-15 magazines are in stock. I own several of these and they are probably my favorite aluminum GI type mag on the market.

Tilley LT3C Snap-Up Camouflage Hat
I was recently wandering through a local store trying to kill some time when I noticed a familiar display of hats with a familiar camo pattern all over it. The classic Tilley T3 is now available in Multicam!
Tilley calls it the LT3C Snap-Up Camouflage Hat and they refer to the camo pattern as “Multi-Camoflauge Print.” The LT3C has the same snap-up sides as the T3, the same medium brim, the same famous hidden pocket and the same lifetime guarantee and insurance against loss. It’s everything you love about Tilley hats. The difference is that, unlike the T3 which is made from cotton canvas, the LT3C is made from Multicam cordura nylon.

Palmetto State Armory Torture Test Video
The previously mentioned torture test video from Palmetto State Armory (PSA) has finally dropped and I am really not sure what to think. I’ll preface this post by saying that I own 2 uppers from PSA that have performed very well for me so far. That said, the video is kind of ridiculous.
I think Palmetto State Armory has a pretty impressive training staff at least in terms of numbers. There seems to be a never ending parade of instructors. This video has lots of instructors, lots of berm shooting without using the sights or a cheek weld, lots of quantifiable data (if “a few hours” or “about 200 rounds” is your idea of quantifiable), and lots of moments where you are just going to have to take their word for it because apparently a lot of the shooting and passage of time happens off screen.
I am probably not the target audience for this video but I would have much rather they spent time talking about what makes their rifles “mil-spec” rather than just using the term a few times. Please feel free to bore me with information like whether or not the castle nut is staked, which barrel steel is used, which alloy is used in the receiver extension, are the front sight base pins tapered, and other details like that.
Palmetto State Armory Cold Hammer Forged Barreled Upper
This video, while mildly entertaining, is very light on useful information. I think that certain PSA products, especially their hammer forged barreled uppers, can be excellent values but this video really highlights why PSA will never be confused with companies like BCM and Colt… and that is okay. They are obviously not going after the same markets.
Review: Crosstac Ammo Can Liners
It is scientific fact that everyone loves surplus ammo cans. It is impossible not to love them. They are ridiculously handy for all sorts of tasks, relatively inexpensive for what they are (especially if you can find them locally), and they will last forever with some maintenance. They also happen to be just the right size for hauling stuff to the range and back but they lack any type of organization. That is where Crosstac Ammo Can Liners come in.
