TNVC just rolled out their new Helmet Builder program. This program gives helmet buyers that ability to start with a Rabintex NIJ IIIA Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) shell in the cut of their choice and then add only the items that they need from TNVC’s wide array of shrouds, mounts, rails, and suspension. This service is not only convenient but helmet buyers will pay less by bundling all of their helmet gear together.

You may recall that fake Rainier Arms Raptor Charging handles began to show up on the market last year. At that time, the fakes were fairly easy to differentiate thanks to their inferior components. That is no longer the case. There is a new wave of more convincing fakes finding their way onto the market and the old rules of spotting them no longer apply. It appears that both Amazon and Ebay are laden with fakes. Stick to authorized dealers to purchase your Raptor. See this especially useful post on CalGuns to see the newest fake along side a genuine Raptor Charging Handle.
This image released by Rainier Arms last year is no longer a valid way to determine the authenticity of a Raptor Charging Handle. The new fakes are far more convincing.
It looks like Multitasker users will have a new pouch option soon. Emdom is developing a pouch that is designed to carry the Multitasker Tool and bit set. Stay tuned for details.
If you build a better EDC solution, the world will beat a path to your front door… or something like that. Mini Kit MK-7 is a mulch-purpose EDC (every day carry) organizer pouch that is currently being crowd funded on Kickstarter. It is the brainchild of YouTube user 20$Bandit.
The Mini Kit (MK-7) is a clam shell opening pouch with a number of internal organization features that are well suited to the items that many of us carry daily. The exterior of the pouch features a small section of loop material for adding personal ID or tapes to ID the contents of the pouch. The interior of the pouch features a clear vinyl pouch for carrying documents and ID on one side and a series of pockets and elastic loops on the other for retaining lights, knives, cables, pens, and similar items on the other. The kit can be secured in the closed position via an elastic strap.
One look at this kit will give you several ideas on how it could be used. Of course, the obvious use is as an EDC gear organizer but additional uses like survival/E&E kit, first aid kit, cord/cable organization, or even a small navigation kit come to mind.
Check out the Mini Kit (MK-7) Kickstarter page to see if it something you want to help fund. There is less than 1 week left to get involved.
