New from TOPS Knives – The Little Bugger

By on June 21, 2018 in EDC, Knives

TOPS Knives offers more compact fixed blade knives than just about anyone and they just released their newest, the Matt Graham designed Little Bugger. There are a lot of big features packed into this little knife – ferro rod notch, palm swell micarta grips, thin blade stock, and the list goes on…

Here is what TOPS Knives has to say about the Little Bugger:

The Little Bugger was designed by Matt Graham, who is much more than just a “survivalist”. He is an athlete – ultra marathons, triathlons, rock climbing, etc., a martial artist – several styles, and an expert in primitive weapons, hunting, and shelters. He has more “dirt time” than almost anyone else out there.

The reason he designed the little bugger was to have a sharp, full-tang fixed blade that can be carried when everything else is left behind. Imagine running an ultra-marathon with a backpack full of gear and this starts to make sense. In order to meet that need, he designed the little bugger.

It’s made of 3/32” 1095 steel with thin tan canvas Micarta handles and black liners. The knife weighs in at about 2.4oz. The sheath, also lightweight and minimal weighs les.s than two, giving you a total package of less than 4oz. The narrow j-clip on the sheath is great for wearing this on a belt or on a pack. It can also be worn with most shorts without falling off. The thin, straight blade is complimented with TOPS’ modified Scandi grind, making this knife razor sharp with a proven utility-style blade. This might just be your next EDC.

Sneak Peek: FoldAR

By on June 20, 2018 in Guns

What do you get when you combine Dead Foot Arms’ folding stock with a new folding AR-15 barrel mechanism? Well, you get the FoldAR – an AR-15 that can be folded at both the barrel and buttstock ends.

The Dead Foot Arms folding stock adapters have been on the market for some time now so the hinged barrel design is what is really new here. FoldAR states that their product can go from folded in small container, to “fire-ready in less than 5 seconds”. They also claim that the hinged mechanism is relatively light weight, adding only about 4 ounces to the overall weight of the rifle, but robust enough to allow the FoldAR to retain zero through hundreds of foldings in a variety of conditions.

The website states that “The only proprietary operational parts are the upper, forearm, barrel extension and gas tube” which is to be expected. These parts may eventually be available to individuals to build their own folding rifles.

This design has the potential to be very compact when folded – how compact will depend on the selected configuration. Several will be available. We’ve confirmed that FoldAR plans to offer both SBR and pistol variants along with full size rifle options including an AR-10/AR762 sized platform.

Sneak Peek: Chase Tactical SOCC (Special Operations Concealable Carrier)

By on June 19, 2018 in Tactical Gear

Chase Tactical is in the process of launching their new US made line of tactical gear and the wraps are slowly coming off some of their first releases, including their upcoming Special Operations Concealable Carrier (SOCC).

The SOCC is a lower visibility carrier with the ability to stack on other load carriage options like a panel or chest rig. It features thin, laser cut shoulder straps to reduce the visible bulk around the wearer’s shoulders. The elastic cummerbund has storage for spare magazines built in. The plate pockets feature plenty of loop material for affixing patches/ID as well as for use when mounting accessories with the industry standard chest rig/panel attachment buckles.

The SOCC will have an MSRP of $174.95 and will be available soon along with more of the new Chase Tactical line of nylon gear.

Bastion Titan Fixed Blade

By on June 19, 2018 in EDC, Knives

Bastion continues to turn out new knife designs. Their latest is an affordable fixed blade knife called the Titan.

The Titan features D2 steel with a black PVD coating. It has black G-10 handle slabs over a full tang. The handle includes an unobtrusive guard, jimping on the spine, and a scallop to allow for a comfortable pinch grip. The knife is 8″ overall with a 3 1/4″, saber ground blade.

So far, this all sounds pretty good for $40… However, the Titan does not come with a sheath so the end user will need to source their own.

Check out the Titan on BastionGear.com.
