Buyer Beware: Unauthorized Banshee Plate Carriers

By on November 20, 2015 in Tactical Gear

There are a number of dealers, some of which are quite well-known, selling unauthorized Banshee Plate Carriers. Shellback Tactical owns the Banshee name and authentic Banshee Plate Carriers are only available through them or their authorized dealers.

If you purchase an unauthorized Banshee PC and happen to need warranty service, Shellback Tactical will not be able to help. This has become a large enough issue that they are working to add serialized labels and/or other authenticating marks.

The easiest way to ensure you have an authentic Banshee PC is to purchase directly from Shellback Tactical or one of their authorized dealers (see the most current list here). If the dealer you are shopping with is not on the list, it isn’t an authentic product. Shellback is updating the list weekly as new dealers come online. If you want to verify a dealer that you don’t see on the list just email mike@shellbacktactical.com.

Armageddon Gear Rear Bags

You need a quality rear bag in your kit. If you are on the range zeroing a new rifle, it’s time to break out the rear bag. If you are in the tree stand with your rifle rested on the rail, it’s time to break out the rear bag. There are just too many ways to use a rear bag for you to leave them at home.

Armageddon Gear makes 2 different rear bags: The Brick and the X-Wing Enhanced Rear Bag. Tom Fuller, head honcho of Armageddon Gear, has produced a video that goes over the finer points of their rear bags and a few ideas for how to use them. The Brick Bag in particular can do some things that other rear bags just can’t do thanks to its use of grip material.

Aero Precision AC-15 Mid-Length OEM

By on November 18, 2015 in Guns

Aero Precision’s AC-15 is one of the most attractive entry level AR-15s on the market thanks to it’s use of all standard parts, correct twist rate, and quality barrel. Those same features make it attractive as a base for customization. Brownell’s is now offering a special version of the AC-15 that may be even more attractive as a starting point for customization.

The new AC-15 Mid-Length OEM is very much like the original AC-15 except it boasts a mid-length gas system. It also comes with an installed low-profile gas block, bare USGI barrel nut, and bare receiver extension. This allows the user to easily add any stock and free float hand guard that they wish. The price also reflects the lack of stock and hand guard which makes this rifle an even better value.

You can also save $25 when you use the code “L5B” at checkout. See the AC-15 Mid-Length at Brownells.
