RE Factor Tactical Reversible Rain Fly Cover

By on July 16, 2014 in EDC, Preparedness, Survival, Tactical Gear

RE Factor Tactical’s new Reversible Rain Fly Cover is a packable rain fly designed to work their ASO Bag or most 3 day assault packs. One side of the water resistant cover is international orange for signalling and visibility while the other is camouflaged (tan or Multicam). Both sides have loop material fields for attaching IR or visible light reflective patches and ID. It features toggles that attach directly to the ASO Bag and a draw strong to secure it to other bags. The cover packs into an integrated stuff sack and the entire packages weighs 6.2 ounces.

Crowd Fund Mrgunsngear

Mrgunsngear is one of the YouTube channels in my regular viewing rotation. I appreciate his honest reviews and short, to-the-point format. The channel has grown significantly since I first started watching and now it is time for some upgraded equipment. As you probably know, video equipment costs a sizable chunk of change so they are hosting a crowd funding effort on Indiegogo.

You can check out the Mrgunsngear YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, and Indiegogo page for more details.

Low-Pro Products Offset Flashlight Mount Surefire X-Series

IMG_2168Low-Pro Products makes several great rail mounted accessories like optic and light mounts. One of their newest is their Offset Flashlight Mount Surefire X-Series. As you might have guessed by the name, it is designed to mount a Surefire X-Series light, or other rail mounted lights like the INFORCE WML, offset to the rail on which you place the mount.

Their mounts do a great job of keeping the light close to the rail and have a simple and robust, set-screw style mounting interface. The mount interface is also aggressively skeletonized to strike a balance between durability and lightweight.

Custom 10/22 Magazine Pouch from Oneiros Valley

By on July 15, 2014 in Guns, Survival, Tactical Gear

Oneiros Valley recently showed this very slick, custom 10/22 magazine pouch that is designed to retain and protect 4 of Ruger’s iconic BX-1 rotary magazines. It is a simple, MOLLE compatible, clamshell design that features 4 internal elastic loops to hold the magazines.

The genius of this pouch is it that it can be useful for more than just 10/22 magazines. The design would lend itself well to use as a general purpose pouch that could carry a compass, GPS, chapstick, or other small gear that you want handy when it isn’t carrying magazines. I can imagine it would be ideal for use on the MOLLE hip belt of a pack like those from Mystery Ranch or Kifaru.

This is a custom, one-off design but if enough people let Onerios Valley know they are interested, you never know…

Simple Threaded Devices News

By on July 15, 2014 in Guns

The below Simple Threaded Devices (STD) muzzle device is interesting for two reasons. First, it is a prototype 7.62 device that STD is currently testing. Production versions will be made from 4140 steel and nitride processed for corrosion resistance. Second, it shows an even simpler, no knurling surface treatment that they are trying.

Check out the Simple Threaded Devices website to learn more about their linear compensator line.
