Whiskey Two-Four WTFix Attachment System Straps Update

By on May 15, 2015 in Tactical Gear

It has been a while since I mentioned the WTFix Attachment System Straps from Whiskey Two-Four. The straps have seen at least two revisions and plenty refinement over the last several months.

The original WTFix Straps

The original WTFix Straps

For the unfamiliar, the WTFix Attachment System Straps are MOLLE compatible straps used to attach pouches to PALS webbing. They are laser cut from Hypalon which is a material well suited to this task. It is extremely durable and tear resistant while also being extremely thin, flexible, and lightweight. They can also be produced inexpensively which allows Whiskey Two-Four to sell them inexpensively, especially if you purchase in bulk.

The latest iteration of the WTFix Attachment System Straps has been slimmed significantly. The straps can be made slightly narrower than typical MOLLE straps which allows them to better adjust for narrow, out of spec PALS webbing slots. The new slim shape also saves weight.

I have been using these for more than a year and they are excellent.

KE Arms and GWACS Armory Lightweight Collaboration Rifle

By on May 15, 2015 in Guns

KE Arms and GWACS Armory recently collaborated to help a student of The Suarez Group who has a physical limitation. The result was a sub 5 1/2 pound carbine with an MSRP that is less than $1000.

KE Arms GWACS Lightweight

The carbine features a GWACS Armory CAV-15 lower receiver with KE Arms lower parts kit. The KE Arms built upper receiver features a lightweight contour barrel, Young Manufacturing Lightweight BCG, and a KE Arms 12.5″ Delta-S Keymod Handguard. The total weight is just 5.6 pounds.

Hopefully, this or a similar package will be available as an off-the-shelf item in the near future.

RE Factor Tactical Survival Cards

By on May 14, 2015 in EDC, Survival

RE Factor Tactical is now offering two stainless steel, credit card sized survival cards. The first is their Hostage Escape Card which includes tools deigned to be used for escaping illegal restraint. I have been able to personally test the components of this and they are functional though a bit rough which is to be expected with these types of cards.

  • Quick Stick
  • Saw
  • Handcuff Shim
  • Rake
  • Tension Wrench
  • Carry sleeve

The Wilderness Survival Card packs in a ton of features centered around food gathering, gear repair, and other functions.

  • Arrow head
  • Small game arrow head
  • Trident (frog gigging)
  • Dual sided saw (fine and coarse tooth)
  • Snare locks (4)
  • Sewing needles (2)
  • Fishing hooks (9)
  • Tweezers

Both cards are made in the USA and have standard 3.5″ x 2″ credit card dimensions so they can be carried easily.

13.7″ Hanson Profile Barrels from Ballistic Advantage and Weapon Outfitters

By on May 14, 2015 in Guns

Weapon Outfitters is known as the destination for 13.7″ AR-15 barrels. Their latest 13.7″ offering is a Ballistic Advantage Performance Series barrel that has the Hanson Profile and a pinned gas block. These barrels are a solid value at $220 when you consider the specs and the pinned low-profile gas block.

These barrels are only available at Weapon Outfitters and are being offered for pre-order since the initial batch sold out so quickly. The upcoming batch is already en route so the wait won’t last long (neither will the barrels). You may also want to check out Weapon Outfitters’ reasonable muzzle device pinning services to bring this barrel to a legal 16″. Check out the new barrels at Weapon Outfitters.
