Aero Precision Acquires Majority Stake in Ballistic Advantage

By on March 12, 2015 in Uncategorized

Aero Precision (AP) just officially announced their partnership with Ballistic Advantage (BA). AP acquired a majority stake in the barrel maker and BA will now operate as a subsidiary of AP. With Aero Precision’s quality AR-15 and AR-10 receivers and Ballistic Advantage’s massive range of excellent barrels, this is a match made in heaven.

Many of you Aero Precision but fewer may be familiar with Ballistic Advantage which is a shame because they make excellent barrels. BA offers a wide range of barrels in various lengths, materials, finishes, profiles, and gas systems. I have used several of their barrels from their least expensive Modern Series barrels to their higher end precision barrels. They have all been excellent. In fact, their Modern Series barrels are among the best values on the market right now, their Hanson profile barrels are some of the best all-around lightweight barrels available, and their short barrels are known for being smooth and reliable.

This is very good news for shooters.

Rocky Mountain Bullseye C.A.T. from TOPS Knives

By on March 12, 2015 in EDC, Knives, Preparedness, Survival

Just over a week ago, TOPS Knives introduced their C.A.T. knives with a new grip pattern called Cryptic Cyber. Now they have released a second grip pattern option with a very cool back story.

The new Rockey Mountain Bullseye texture came about serendipitously! The folks at TOPS were machining handles when a machining error created a divot pattern in the surface of the grip slab. It looked good and it felt good so the only thing left to do was program the machine to make the mistake divots on purpose. I wish my mistakes turned out so well.

The new texture is available on the C.A.T. knives in both drop point and tanto. The C.A.T. series is a mainstay of the TOPS Knives lineup thanks to their handy size and versatile shapes.

TOPS Knives launched the new scales today and they are available at an introductory price in both the Tanto version and Hunter’s Point (drop point).

EGL 2 Lid CLAYMOARRR Bag

By on March 12, 2015 in EDC, Tactical Gear

Extreme Gear Labs has a fresh take on the classic claymore bag. Their new 2 Lid CLAYMOARRR Bag offers a ton of functionality and modern features in a bag that still stays true to its roots.

The original claymore bags had two pouches that shared a single lid. The EGL CLAYMOARRR has two lids, one for each of the front pouches, that can be used independently. The lids are secured with side release buckles along with hook and loop. The hook and loop can be blocked so that only the buckles secure the lids. There is also a large document pouch behind the iconic front pouches.

The bag boasts plenty of organization potential. It has PALS webbing on the top and sides of each of the front pouches. The two front pouches are loop lined so that you can add any hook backed pouch you want for small item organization.

The bag is secured to the wearer via a 2″ shoulder strap and there are loops for adding a waist strap.

Check out EGL on their website and their Facbeook page.

RE Factor Tactical Fight Soap

Apparently a bunch of you are stinky sons of guns because RE Factor Tactical’s Fight Soap sold out in about a day (or maybe Fight Soap just has a really dedicated following because they make great soap)! The good news is that there is that the second half of the limited edition batch is in bound for next week. Once that is gone, you’ll never see it again. Check out RE Factor Tactical Fight Soap.
