Are you lucky if you can tell the sharp side of the knife from the dull one? Well, pay attention because Blind Horse Knives is about to drop some knowledge on you. They have an entire page on their website that consists of graphics and videos that can give you a little bit of advanced knife knowledge. This is one of those things that I sat down to check out and before I knew it an 30 minutes had passed!
Blue Force Gear M320 Grenade Launcher Holster
Blue Force Gear’s new M320 Grenade Launcher Holster is probably new to you but it isn’t the textbook definition of new. The new holsters are being officially released today, but they have been in use “down range” for over a year. So, while this is a new product, it has already been thoroughly tested.
The M320 Grenade Launcher Holster shows Blue Fore Gear’s typical penchant for reducing weight. It weighs only 168 grams. That light weight and the ability to be stored completely flat make it easy to pack and carry when it is not in use. When it is in use, it mounts on the right side of the user and positions the M320 so that the grip is easy to access. The M320 is retained by a bungee strap over the grip and a webbing strap with ITW surface mount buckle across the front of the holster which is wide open to allow for a variety of different sighting options.

TacStrike Price Reduction
Rob at TacStrike must be a wizard. Usually, when you want something fast and good, it costs more. TacStrike figured out a way to reduce lead times on their 1/4 Scale Steel Target System and they reduced the price as well! It is the same great target but with shorter lead times and it costs less. That, right there, is wizardry.
Check out the TacStrike 1/4 Scale Steel Target System.

VEPR 54R as a DMR?
I recently came across a post on M4Carbine.net that caught my eye. Scot, the head honcho of RS Regulate, started the thread and it outlined his plans for using a VEPR 54R chambered in 7.62x54R for a DMR project. It all sounds a bit like a modernized Dragunov to me and that is pretty darn cool. It also doesn’t hurt that 7.62x54R is still fairly widely available at low prices during this current ammo buying frenzy.
The RS Regulate VEPR 54R DMR build includes:
- Vepr 54R 20″
- Cut and crowned to 18.25″
- Threaded 5/8-24
- Surefire SOCOM 7.62FH
- Krebs Vepr Rail
- Vltor ModPod
- RS AK-303 lower and AKR upper
- Red Star Arms trigger set at 3#
- Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10×32 FFP MIL/MIL
- Magpul PRS stock
Interestingly enough, Snake Hound Machine has also been working on a very slick 7.62x54R project that was profiled on Four Guys Guns yesterday. The SHM build has more of a battle rifle bent to it than a precision bent like the RS Regulate project.
I am not sure what to think of all these slick 7.62x54R AK pattern rifles that are suddenly catching my eye. Maybe people are just really clever at finding ways to keep shooting during the ammo crunch or maybe the universe is trying to tell me I need a VEPR 54R DMR.
