In case you haven’t noticed, most AR-15/M4 stocks no longer have provisions to carry a cleaning kit and not everyone has room on their gear to add a dedicated pouch for their cleaning kit. The genius of the MS Clean and its magazine like shape is that it fits into pouches that you already have – your magazine pouches. This is a good idea.
Check out the MS Clean on Kickstarter and Facebook.
These are always fun. Panteao Productions just released their latest collections of bloopers. Pat Rogers always comes off as extremely likable in these clips and I can’t help but think the Panteao crew member have the best jobs in the world…
Blind Horse Knives is holding a virtual knife show on Saturday, July 20th (tomorrow) starting at 9AM. They will post a video on their Facebook Page that shows you the details of all the available knives. If you see one that you want, you call 740-219-1141 to place your order. I think this is a pretty cool concept.
While you are thinking about how nice it would be to own a new knife, don’t forget to enter our BHK-T1 Giveaway!
Impact Weapons Components (IWC) has specialized in direct connect weapon components for years now. It should come as no surprise that they are jumping into the KeyMod mix in a big way. In this post, I’ll highlight two of IWC’s current KeyMod offerings and debut two brand new offerings that are the result of the productive Impact Weapons Components/Haley Strategic Partners collaboration.
The Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT KeyMod and KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount have been around for a few months now. These are exactly the types of solid, well executed mounts that you have come to expect from IWC.
The Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT KeyMod is narrower than IWC’s previous hand stops. I would prefer it was a bit wider but it works just the way it is – in fact, the narrower form factor may be more practical, my preferences aside. I like to mount these on the bottom of the handguard and use them to pull the carbine back into the shoulder pocket. Alternately, they can be used as a true hand stop to keep your hand from slipping up onto the barrel or on a side rail as an index point for the web of your hand.
The KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount is just about as low profile as possible. It requires a certain amount of thickness in order to accept the QD sling swivel. It is just thick enough to accept the swivel but no more. The KeyMod QD RL Sling Mount is rotation limited. You can mount this just about anywhere along the length of the handguard but I prefer to mount my slings as close to the receiver as possible.
The Thorntail KeyMod MIL620 Light Mount is going to be very attractive to night vision users. It gives you the ability to mount many of the most popular IR illuminators on the market, namely the Surefire M620V and M952V. It also works with many other white light options including the new Surefire M620 Ultra and any of the Surefire M9XX Millennium Series lights. It tucks the light in close to the rail like all other Thorntail mounts.
The Thorntail Offset KeyMod Light Mount is an absolute gem of a mount. It may be the last KeyMod light mount you ever need to buy since it is modular enough to work with a ton of lights including:
It achieves this wide spread compatibility with its unique mounting surface that includes a short 1913 rail section for use with rail mounted lights, grooved mounting slots for Surefire Scout lights, and the ability to accept IWC’s hand held light mounting rings. This modularity not only allows you to mount different types of lights but also allows you to adapt it to new lights and technology as they are released.
The light is placed tight to the rail and can be switched to the left or right side of the rail depending on the user’s preference. The Thorntail Offset KeyMod Light Mount also features a unique 3 hole mounting interface that allows the user to move the mounting locations to the position that is most advantageous. This means that you can actually cantilever the light forward, past the end of your rail. That is very slick.
I am certainly not surprised that Impact Weapons Components is making waves in the KeyMod space. This is right up their alley.

We first told you about the new plate rack coming from TacStrike several days ago. It has been named the Century Plate Rack and it is now available. I also have a much better picture of the beast.
The Century Plate Rack weighs just over 600 pounds and is designed to be semi-permanently installed. Once in place, it can basically sit there for a century with minimal maintenance. It is constructed from AR500 steel and has a unique angled bottom plate that sends low rounds to the ground in order to help diagnose trigger control problems. This thing will outlast you!
Check out the Century Plate Rack at TacStrike.
