Let the wild rumpus start!
The Patch Panel recently showed some custom work that they completed for a client. While these likely won’t be available for sale, they insight a level of nostalgia that I can’t ignore. Feast your eyes on these custom patches featuring silhouettes of characters from Where the Wild Things Are. These are a great showcase for the design and production capabilities of The Patch Panel.
Elzetta.com is sporting an updated look these days. The new look also comes with updated flashlight selection tools to make it easier to get your hands on the Elzetta light that best fits your needs. For a limited time, you can save 10% off your ordwer when you use the code “NewSite”.
Elzetta has also updated their excellent single CR123A Alpha Flashlight (my current favorite EDC). The new light boasts increases in both output and runtime. The output is up more than 100 lumens to 415 lumens and the runtime has increased 10%! The light still retains its smooth, floody beam fitting its intended design as a close to medium range illumination tool.

Ballistic Advantage’s Modern Series is their budget friendly line of AR-15 barrels with full 4150 CMV steel construction, QPQ (nitride processing), and their 1 MOA guarantee.

The 16″ lightweight pencil profile is now available with your choice of carbine or mid-length gas system. They are available at the introductory price of $150! These barrels are a good value at their normal price of around $170 but they are impulse-buyable at the introductory price. You can check them out at Ballistic Advantage’s Modern Series page.
Gunstruction compiles the most popular parts from each category in their virtual AR building tool into a single User’s Choice Build every month. These builds are always an interesting look into consumer trends since Gunstruction’s user base and part selection is fairly broad.
Every month I chronicle these builds and every month I write about how they still feature EOTech sights in spite of the issues that have been exposed with them. It has become clear that Gunstruction user’s just prefer EOTech or they are trolling me. There is heavy Magpul representation in this build as usual. Virtual SBRs also seem to be becoming more popular. Whether or not that is translating to people actually building real SBRs is not apparent.
