SKD – PIG UCR

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

SKD Tactical released their own version of the defunct Eagle cr-utv-ms, or “Universal Chest Rig / SKD version” which was originally developed by Paul Howe (MSG, USA Ret). This improved model is called the “PIG UCR (Universal Chest Rig)” and incorporates some new features.

-500D Construction
-Adjustable retention straps that adjust with Velcro instead of metal tri-glides
-PIG CR-UTV-MS Upgrade Straps, standard
-Internal drainage grommets
-Compatible with PIG CR H-Harness Kit

The PIG UCR carries 2 x M4 mags (USGI/PMAG/Lancer) or 1 x 7.62 mag (PMAG/SR-25/AR10/FAL) or 1 x AK-47/74 mag per each of its 4 rifle mag pouches. The 4 pistol mag pouches up front accommodate double stack pistol magazines (up to Glock 20/21), flashlights, utility tools or other similarly shaped items. The PALS webbing on the sides of the chest rig allows for additional ammo, first aid, radio or utility pouches. The PIG UCR also retains the mesh stash pocket and the internal Map Pocket of the original Paul Howe CR-UTV-MS with Velcro closure along the top of the rig.

Available in Black, Coyote, MultiCam and Ranger Green and Made in USA!

OD Slings are Back at Blue Force Gear

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

Despite a mass shortage of Olive Drab webbing, Blue Force Gear managed to source enough material to make a few Vickers Slings for all you hardcore OD fans. OD Slings are currently available in padded and unpadded options. The Padded VCAS is my go-to sling. I’ve tried a lot of different slings out but find myself going back to the BFG VCAS time after time.

Magwear

Wednesday, November 7th, 2012

Magwear is a wrist mounted workspace to store small metallic (iron based) parts. They stay put thanks to a rare earth magnet embedded in the base of the platform. The wrist strap is fully adjustable and can be just as handy for small weapon parts as well as other chores.

MSM Hoodie RAW

Tuesday, November 6th, 2012

Mil Spec Monkey has always got something cooking ad this time it’s the MSM Hoodie RAW.

It’s a comfy upper-mid weight fleece with 4″ x 4″ loop fields on the deltoid zones. The main opening uses a YKK zipper with frontal muff pockets on each side. They’ve also integrated thumb holes. Made in the USA! The cut is athletic so MSM recommends going up one size for a loose fit and two sizes to roll baggy. Sizes Small – XXLarge in OD or Charcoal.
