The Atibal MROC (modern rifle optic component) is another entry in the short but growing list of optics based on the same patent as the venerable Trijicon ACOG. Â That patent (having lapsed in 2008) has opened up a big niche in the optics market for those who want something close to what the ACOG provides, […]
We finally got a stretch of weather here in the Pacific Northwest worthy of being called winter. Â Still mild by the standard of bearded northmen, but cold enough I finally got to put Thermacell’s Proflex Heavy Duty heated insoles to use. Thermacell has a pretty neat setup here. Â The padded Li-Ion batteries fit in the […]
Today we’re continuing our journey through the ultralight AR15 build, covering the lower receiver, version 2.0. The upper receiver article is covered here, while the full rifle article is coming next. To recap, originally I wanted to build a tough, accurate rifle that came in under 6lbs, with the suppressor and optic included in that […]
The NeoMag is a handy little device. With it, you’re able to discreetly carry an extra magazine, while ensuring it stays vertical and properly oriented in your pocket. Â Not long ago I did an initial impressions article, but wanted to follow up after carrying this with me every day and getting some good range time […]
Have you ever sat across the table from a loan officer or lawyer and quietly felt like jabbing your pen into their throat? Of course not, no one should think like that. Ok, have you ever been without your EDC pistol or blade and thought, if only I had something unobtrusive that I could stick […]
During the majority of my military service with the 2nd Ranger Battalion, I used an Aimpoint M68/Comp M2. While I also used an ACOG at times, the trusty Comp M2 rode with me on nearly every mission during my 5 combat deployments. Never one hiccup, never one failure. Aimpoint (of Sweden) earned a great deal […]
Vorn Equipment of Stavanger, Norway has quietly been releasing some fantantiske rifle packs.  When I received their Lynx  hunting pack a few months ago, I had positive initial impressions.  Now, I’ve had the Lynx for long enough to really test it out and get a feel for how it performs. Vorn’s Lynx is a 12 to 20 liter […]
Blue Force Gear has helped the modern warfighter redefine what a lightweight kit looks like with their Ten-Speed line of gear. Â Constructed from their ULTRAcomp laminate, 70D ripstop nylon and military-grade elastic, the Ten-Speed series of pouches and chest rigs has drastically shed pounds. Â With that introduction, today we’re talking about BFG’s belt-mounted dump pouch. […]
As I continue to build my SR 762 from Ruger (.308) I decided to acquire a chest rig (see the first article in the build series here). I have a plate carrier already (which this rig can attach to), but I wanted something lightweight I could use while hunting with this platform (WA a .308 […]
As tradition demands, when a man decides to get married his best man must take him somewhere to celebrate. We had a few ideas but finally settled on Texas. Why Texas? Well hog hunting of course. Greig had always wanted to go (so have I), and I had a Ranger buddy who lived in the area who could […]
