Blue Force Gear Releases Left Handed Slings…

By Matt on April 1, 2016 in Tactical Gear

There has been a new advancement in the fight for the equality of southpaws. Blue Force Gear is now offering left handed VCAS Slings. It’s about time!

From Blue Force Gear:

Throughout the years, we’ve received a number of requests for left-handed slings. From hopeful requests to the just plain angry, it’s been pointed out to us that we don’t have as much love for lefties as we do for our right-handed customers.

To show you we appreciate all of our customers equally, we’ve developed the revolutionary Left-Handed Vickers Sling™.

Now all you left-handed shooters can go to the range with your right-handed friends without fearing ridicule and poor performance.

MISSION SPEC INTRODUCES NEW ORGANIZATION TOOLS

By Matt on April 1, 2016 in Tactical Gear

Mission Spec has announced the release of two new products for the tactically aware market to help keep operators organized and on task. The first of the two products is the Mission Spec TacNotes™. Built from 1000D CORDURA® in a 3×3” configuration the TacNotes™ offer a disposable reminder system that allows operators to keep important mission details in mind. Due to their hook backing the TacNotes™ are able to stick to just about anything in your AO and with the loop front the TacNotes™ are stackable.

The TacNotes™ have been in testing with a certain Tier 1 unit for several years now. [Pictured] below is a prototype model recovered from Abbottabad, Pakistan on May 3rd, 2011.

Also new from Mission Spec is the ERLINS™ (Extreme Resilient Low Infrared Note System). Due to the high concentration of Type-A personalities and pre-workout supplements in the mission briefing room we have all experienced the frustration of ripped briefing notes. The ERLINS™ are impervious to tears, creatine spills, erasers, and anti-American activity.

Both products are NIR (near infrared) compliant, Berry Compliant, made in the USA with US sourced components, and ITAR controlled via the U.S. Department of State because an organized enemy is a dangerous enemy. Colors available now: Black, Coyote, Ranger Green, UCP (already on clearance). Coming soon: MultiCam, Kryptek Highlander, AOR1/2, Desert/Woodland MARPAT, ABU.

The Mission Spec TacNotes™ and ERLINS™ will be available at MissionSpec.com and authorized Mission Spec dealers.

	10-Pack	100-Pack	1000-Pack	5000-Pack
TacNotes™	$20	$150	$1,000	$2,500
ERLINS™	$30	$250	$2,000	$7,500

WARNING: DO NOT take Mission Spec ERLINS™ or TacNotes™ into the field with classified information where capture is possible as these products are indestructible.

Dead Foot Arms MCS

By Matt on March 31, 2016 in Guns

The Dead Foot Arms MCS (Modified Cycle System) is a folding stock retrofit kit for AR-15s. All of the recoil parts including the spring, buffer, and bolt carrier are modified to operate in a shorter space allowing the folding mechanism to be placed behind the recoil parts. This means that AR-15s equipped with the MCS can be fired when the stock is in the folded position.

Dead Foot Arms claims the system is very reliable and even that their dual recoil spring setup eliminates bolt bounce in full auto applications. It attaches only to the lower receiver and works with any caliber/barrel length combination.

The MCS is available in kit form from Dead Foot Arms. The MCS will work with standard AR-15 stocks and Dead Foot Arms is also developing a compact, PDW style stock for use with it.

Flat Grind Mora Knives from Baryonyx Knife Co.

By Matt on March 31, 2016 in Knives

Everyone likes Mora knives because they are such a great value but not everyone likes maintaining their “Scandi” grind edges. Baryonyx Knife Co. is now offering Moras that have been reground with full flat grinds. The knives are still very affordable but now they have increased cutting performance and a grind with which more Americans are familiar.

I should also mention that Baryonyx Knife Co. is one of my favorite places to buy cutting tools. They inspect each and every item that they carry before selling it to ensure that everything is as it should be. They also offer a very affordable “Special Grade” service on most items which means that they will regrind the cutting edge to improves its performance. These services are especially nice for items like machetes which often come unsharpened or axes where you have to be concerned with things like grain orientation.

Check out the full flat grind Mora options at Baryonyx Knife Co. The available selection changes periodically.
