Kickstarter – IO Cover: One-Handed, Built-in Lens Caps for Micro Optics

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Joseph Chen came up with a rather interesting idea. in a nutshell –

IO Cover built-in lens caps – always ready. Open, close & stow with one hand. Rain or sand, see when you need it most.

The name IO was inspired by the way the cap and optic look head on when the cap is stowed. You flip the front and rear caps open, and they lock together so there’s no flapping in the breeze. Additionally, the optic is now armored against minor damage and camouflaged in a variety of colors.

Chen turned to Kickstarter to crowd source his funding, so let’s give him a hand. SSD put their money where their mouth is.

Mystery Ranch Spartan Update

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

Earlier this week we told you that Mystery Ranch had released the long awaited Spartan pack to their line. Several readers called and received confusing info. We want to clear things up. The Spartan is in MR’s latest catalog which should debut at next week’s Modern Day Marine. Additionally, it has been matrixed and is in MR’s system meaning it can be ordered.

They have packs in stock but pre-orders and a positive reaction from Tuesday’s story have wiped that initial run those out. The next run of 20 will hit the production floor early next week and they will start shipping those Monday October 15th. From there, they are looking at a larger production run, probably 40 of each. For now they are offering them in MultiCam and Coyote, but may entertain making them in Black if they get enough interest.

If you want one, contact MR. These are being snatched up as quickly as they are built.
