If you build enough AR-15 uppers, you will eventually come across one that just isn’t going to cooperate with the torque specs. Don’t sweat it. You aren’t going to hurt anything if you have to go beyond the torque spec (within reason). Clint Hanson shares some of his experience with getting those last few millimeters of travel on your barrel nut in Ballistic Advantage’s most recent Builder Series video.

Mean Gene Leather Hot Tamale
Not everyone can pull off carrying a dedicated sap but just about anyone can carry a classy, leather coin purse. Coin saps, sap shaped leather pouches that use coins for ballast, have been around forever but Mean Gene Leather (MGL) has elevated them with a slick foldover design that make it easy to wear their Hot Tamale Coin Purse on a belt.
MGL has stated that the Hot Tamale was originally just a “fun project” but the response was overwhelming. They will be putting it into production. Details about pricing and how to order will be coming soon. They are hoping to have these available to ship in around 3 weeks.
While you are waiting, check out the MGL website and MGL Facebook page to stay up to date.

An Ode to the Blue Force Gear Ten-Speed Line
Blue Force Gear recently posted a picture on their Facebook page that sums up a lot of what I have come to love about their Ten-Speed line. The image (below) shows a Ten-Speed Triple M4 Mag Pouch , loaded with a variety of items that AREN’T M4 magazines, mounted over another magazine shingle on the front of a plate carrier.
We all know that Ten-Speed pouches can hold a wide variety of items thanks to their elastic construction and I have really come to appreciate that about them. This is illustrated well in the photo above. However, their slim profile when empty is what I like most and something for which they don’t get enough press. They can be mounted over existing pouches or even in places behind other gear like clip-on chest rigs/magazine panels due to their completely flat profile. This adds a lot of versatility to any load carrying gear they are attached to without a penalty in the form of bulk or weight.
Their unique form factor allows you to use Ten-Speed pouches in completely different ways than you would use other pouches. You can learn more about the Ten-Speed line at Blue Force Gear.
There are actually BFG Ten-Speed pouches behind the chest rig clipped onto this Mayflower R&C APC. Try that with other mag pouches!
