IWC MOUNT-N-SLOTs for the Vltor KeyMod System

By on July 27, 2012 in Guns, Tactical Gear

Vltor set the world on fire yesterday with the announcement of their very clever KeyMod system. They released the specs of this attachment system so that others in the industry could begin to develop accessories to support it. Notably, Noveske has been the earliest adoptor for use on their NSR.

This sort of attachment system is right up Impact Weapon Component’s alley so it should come as no surprise that they have announced the future availability of some of their most popular MOUNT-N-SLOT accessories for the KeyMod system. They have begun work on the Haley Strategic DROPWING & RADIAL UNIVERSAL Light Mounts and expect to have them to market in about 8 weeks at the same prices as the current versions. Remember to use the coupon code “triggerjerk” at checkout to receive 5% discount at IWC.

Current version is shown. KeyMod compatible versions will vary.

NavELite Magnetic Compass

The sad truth about the vast majority of the wrist-worn and button compasses on the market right now is that they are junk. They are typically low quality and lack the features needed to be anything but a last ditch backup. That is why I was so excited when I came across the upcoming NavELite which seems to have the potential to be a standout wrist-worn compass.

The NavELite looks a lot like a watch at first glance. It even features backlighting like many digital watches. The bezel is large and looks easy to read. It has redundant low light systems (NV friendly EL backlighting and luminous paint). The liquid filled compass module rotates so you can set an azimuth. The needle dampens quickly and rides on a jewel bearing. I am glad to see a needle because many small compasses use a platter which renders them nearly useless if even a small bubble forms. These features read more like the spec sheet for a serious hiking compass.

The NavELite is not yet on the market but, on paper, it looks like a tremendous compass and they are accepting pre-orders. Check out NavELite.com.

The Magpul MIAD grip’s modular design and variety of available colors lends itself to some mixing and matching. People like to mix various colors in order to create a bit of a camo effect. In the old days you had to purchase 2 grips or to swap parts with a buddy but no more… War Sport Industries is now offering MIADs in any color combo you want. You just choose your preferred colors from a drop down list and add it to your cart.It couldn’t be any easier.

Some day you will tell your kids about how you used to walk up hill both ways to school and how if you wanted a custom color combo on your MIAD you had to buy two grips. They will probably roll their eyes, but don’t let that stop you from checking out the Magpul MIAD Mix Up Kits on WarSport-US.net.
