BALCS LVR from Beez Combat Systems

The Beez Combat Systems BALCS LVR (Low Vis Rig) is a scalable plate carrier system that is built around BALCS cut soft armor. It is designed to scale from a low profile carrier up to a full load carrying rig that is supported by a number of additional accessories including a clip on chest rig, a PALS (MOLLE) cummerbund, and a hydration carrier.

In addition to the BALCS cut soft armor, the LVR can accept SAPI, swimmer cut, or rectangular hard armor plates. It features a mostly slick front except for some vertical webbing that is used to attach the chest rig clips and a loop field for attaching patches and ID. The LVR will come with a low-profile elastic cummerbund that attaches at the front and back of the LVR via hook and loop. It is held tight to the LVR via a webbing strip on each side of the LVR. The back of the BALCS LVR features a low profile drag handle and is covered with PALS webbing for attaching the BCS hydration carrier. The shoulder straps pull forward to adjust and shoulder pads will be available as an option.

The clip in chest rig carries 4 magazines and is available for the AR-15, AK-47, or AK-74. It is completely covered with PALS webbing to allow the user to configure it to their specific needs. It installs easily with two side release buckles on the front and a slick clip on each side. If you don’t need the heavier load carriage capabilities of the chest rig, there are PALS panels that can be attached over the elastic cummerbund that can be used to attach various pouches.

You have probably noticed by now that the BALCS LVR is available in some of the Kryptek family of camo patterns – Highlander and Mandrake (shown). BCS has added the Kryptek patterns to their inventory and now they are an option across the entire BCS line up. The LVR is also available in a ton of other color and camo options: Multicam, A-TACS AU, A-TACS FG, Woodland, Khaki, Coyote, Ranger Green, OD Green, and Black. Plus, if you provide the material, BCS will make their gear in what ever color or camo pattern that you want.

The firearm industry lost a leader this year with the passing of John Noveske but, more importantly, his kids lost a dad. The Johnny Memorial PMAG is now on sale and 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this magazine will go to the trust for the Noveske children. This special edition PMAG is a a Gen M2 magazine with the well know “Flaming Pig” logo on one side and the Noveske logo on the other.

Incredibly Small Compasses

Prepare to be amused, amazed, and finally, overwhelmed with the desire to reach for your wallet. There is a seller on Ebay selling some of the tiniest compasses that I have every seen and the reports of their quality have been extremely positive.

Sportsman Mini Brass Jewel Bearing Compass

These “Sportsman Mini Brass Jewel Bearing Compasses” are just 1/4″ in diameter! The main body is constructed from brass. The needle is a somewhat triangular shaped piece of metal that rides on a real jewel bearing. They are made by a gentleman who claims to be a retired engineer whose “area of expertise was magnetic heads for computer hard drives.” Initial reports on these compasses say that they are made very well and that they are accurate.

I am so intrigued by these little guys that I plan to purchase a couple for review. I can think of about a million places that I would like to try mounting them.
