Latest Images and Info on the ROSCH Works SLM1

ROSCH Works released images of the SLM1 pilot production batch and it looks like a winner.

Rosch Works SLM1 Pilot Production 3

The SLM1 is a light mount that incorporates a fixed front sight base. It is designed to be mounted on the top rail of an AR-15’s extended hand guard rail to provide the user with both a fixed front sight and an advantageous 12 o’clock lighting position. It is the first mount of its kind that allows the use of a standard tube bodied tactical light to mounted in this position.

I now know additional details including that the body of the mount is made from 7075 T1 aluminum that is hard anodized. The remaining components are black oxide coated 4140 steel. The production versions will ship with the wrenches required to mount and adjust the SLM1.

Some SLM1s from this initial pilot production batch will likely go up for sale later this week. This particular version is designed for use with the Surefire Fury (it may work with other lights). Additional versions for use with other lights may be in the works at a later date. Check out ROSCH Works.

550 FireCord

Paracord is never just paracord anymore. The latest reinvention of the well-loved survival cordage is 550 FireCord.

550 FireCord

550 FireCord looks and functions like normal 550 paracord. It can be used for all the same tasks that you would use paracord for like shelter building, zipper pulls, repairs, and more. However, when the proprietary inner stands are removed and then shredded, they become a very easy to ignite, water resistant, and long burning tinder.

Check out the 550 FireCord Kickstarter campaign.

Gearward Adds 3 New Compact Survival Cord Options

Gearward has added three new options for their excellent Compact Survival Cord (see the previous review). The new options include:

  • Small Kevlar: 200′ of 200lb Line
  • Mini Technora: 25′ of 600lb Line
  • Micro Technora: 10′ of 600lb Line

The Small Kevlar option is most exciting to me. In my review, I mentioned that I hoped they would bring a kevlar option to their largest spool and they heard my pleas! 200 feet of cordage in such a small and easy to deploy package represents a lot of capability.

Check out the new Compact Survival Cord options at Gearward.
