Ballistic Advantage Modern Series Video

By Matt on March 23, 2016 in Guns

Ballistic Advantage’s Modern Series AR-15 barrels are among the best values on the market. Their new video gives you some insight as to why that is. The basics are that these barrels are standard profiles rendered in 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium steel with desirable twist rates and are QPQ finished (salt bath nitride processing) throughout.

It is worth noting that Ballistic Advantage QPQ finishes the barrels separately from the barrel extensions. This is important because if this process is completed with the barrel extension installed, the heat can cause the extension to loosen. There have been many cases of loose barrel extensions from barrel makers who do not understand this.

Almost all of these barrels retail for well under $200 and come with a 1 MOA guarantee. Check them out at Ballistic Advantage.

Andy’s Leather 2 Point Standard Rifle Sling Sale

By Matt on March 23, 2016 in Guns

Andy’s Leather 2 Point Standard Rifle Sling is on sale. This sling is one of the most versatile slings that Andy’s Leather offers. It can be used like a standard carry sling or a CW sling. If you are unfamiliar with the CW sling concept, think Ching Sling but without a rear attachment point and you will have the general idea.

These slings are affordable to begin with and especially affordable when they are on sale. $35 gets you a handmade sling with brass hardware and thick bridle leather. The buckles that Andy uses for these are the same as those he uses on his Rhodesian and Ching slings. They hold tightly but adjust easily, making it easy to set your length and forget it.

The slings are available in 1″ and 1.25″ widths, three different colors, and with a variety of hardware finish options. Check out the 2 Point Standard Rifle Sling at Andy’s Leather.

Keyrambit Friction Folder Insert For KeyBar

By Matt on March 22, 2016 in EDC, Knives

When you look at a KeyBar you see a great way to carry, organize, and silence keys. When C Despins of Max Venom looks at a KeyBar he sees a chassis for a folding karambit. If you follow Max Venom, this is not a surprise.

The Keyrambit Friction Folder Insert For KeyBar turns your KeyBar into a folding karambit. The kit comes with a folding finger loop and hooked blade. Both the blade and loop are made from 154CM steel. This setup “locks” via a friction lock design which means the blade has a protrusion coming from its base that is locked in place by the user’s palm when the knife is gripped.

Check out the Keyrambit Friction Folder Insert For KeyBar at Max Venom.
