TNVC Introduces Financing

The words “night vision” and “awesome” are often found in the same sentence. The words “night vision” and “inexpensive” are rarely found in the same sentence. TNVC has a new program that may help you put quality night vision in your safe without blowing up your budget. They have partnered with First National Bank of North Arkansas to offer the TNVC Night Vision Financing Program.

You can read more about it at the TNVC website but here is the gist of it:

Here’s how it works: All night vision and thermal gear available from TNVC is eligible for financing and all U.S. Citizens are pre-approved. Obviously, all ITAR laws and regulations apply. Simply choose the “Finance” option at checkout on the TNVC site and you will be directed to a secure page on the First National Bank of North Arkansas website to fill out your application. The credit review is done within 2 business days. Customers meeting the bank’s minimum credit requirements will be approved for immediate product delivery and monthly payments will proceed according to the loan term. Customers not meeting the minimum credit requirement will have their product placed on layaway until the loan is paid.

ALG Defense Go-Juice – Now Available

ALG Defense’s new gun lube, Go-Juice, is now shipping.

Gun lube doesn’t really get me very excited because I generally use them all the same way – add lots of it so the gun stays wet, repeat as needed. That approach seems to work for just about any lubrication product I use on my guns, whether that lube is gun-specific or not.

However, I do prefer to use a non-petroleum based product for my own health and a lube that stays put after being applied makes my life easier. ALG’s Go-Juice does both of those things… and its purple.

ESEE Izula Tertiary Knife

What if the ESEE Izula and a push dagger had a baby? Well, you would have something like the upcoming ESEE Tertiary Knife.

ESEE designed the Tertiary with SWAT officer Lee Smith to serve as a defensive tool for military and police (it will work just fine for prepared citizens too where legal). Push knives are easy to carry at the belt line, easy to access, promote solid retention, and are general intuitive to use so this form factor makes good sense for the intended purpose of this knife.

ESEE cleverly worked in the Izula branding all over this knife. The blade is unmistakably derived from the Izula with the addition of a sharpened swedge. The handle even features the large loop that Izula users will immediately recognize.

The Izula Tertiary will be available with or without bolt-on G-10 handle scales. The provided sheath is the standard Izula sheath that may be a touch bulky but it works better than most factory sheaths. It should work well with belt carry or on a static line.

Hopefully there will be a single edge version available to accommodate jurisdictions with preclusions for double edge blades.

Keep an eye on the ESEE website for details.

Specs:

  • Includes Ambidextrous Sheath & Clip Plate
  • Overall Length: 5.0″
  • Overall Width: 4.25″
  • Cutting Edge Length: 2.5″
  • Thickness: 3/32″
  • Weight (With Handles & Sheath): 5.7 Ounces
  • Black Powder Coat Finish
  • Sharpened Top Edge

BFG Articles, News, and other Awesomeness

I just came across an interesting part of the Blue Force Gear website called BFG Articles, News, and other Awesomeness. It contains all kinds of great information about training, BFG products, DIY projects, and more.

There is actually a ton of good info packed into these pages..

Do you want to know how Larry Vickers adapts his slings for southpaw use on an AK? Its there.

Do you want to learn how to turn a BFG Boo Boo Pouch into a $10 survival kit? Its there.

Looking for the history of the Blue Force Gear logo? That’s there too.

I killed more than an hour poking through just a few pages. You can check out the BFG Articles, News, and other Awesomeness section of the BFG website by clicking the “Articles” link in the website header bar or just click here.

Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo

I have found over the years that it doesn’t really pay to skimp on AR-15 recoil springs. Cheap springs seem to lose length quickly and the use of a premium spring can improve how the AR-15 behaves under recoil. It has also been my experience that most AR-15s will see a marked improvement in cycling and recoil control with the use of a heavier buffer. These are obviously generalities but suffice it to say, a good spring and a heavier buffer can have a great positive effect on an AR-15.

Geissele is now offering a new spring and buffer combo, the Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo, that seems to be a fairly solid value compared to other known quality buffers and premium springs on the market.

Here is what they have to say about the combo:

The Geissele Super 42 Spring was designed to improve the function and reliability of your AR-15 pattern rifle. Its unique spring design uses three independent strands of wire, just like the German MG42 Machine Gun. This concept acts as a harmonic damper and energy absorber by allowing the springs to flex separately from each other. This flex helps displace excess energy which decreases the chance of spring failure and assists with making your AR-15 more reliable.

Compared to the stock spring, The Geissele Super 42 Spring has a decreased tendency to lose length and force over a given round count. As an added bonus, it removes the annoying spring reverberations (twang) heard and felt by the shooter through the buttstock. The Super 42 Spring has a 15% stronger average return force than the standard buffer spring. This will assist in stripping rounds out of the magazine when operating with a dirty weapon or when using steel-case ammo.

Additionally, you can purchase tungsten weights separately that will allow you to convert the H1 to an H2 or H3 buffer simply by swapping the steel weights with tungsten weights. Most AR-15 buffers have three weights inside the body of the buffer. An H1 buffer has 2 steel weights and 1 tungsten. H2 has 1 steel weight and two tungsten. H3 has 3 tungsten weights.

Check out the new Geissele Super 42 Braided Wire Buffer Spring and Buffer Combo along with accessory weights.
