New TNV/Sentinel Binocular Night Vision System

Friday, August 9th, 2013

TNV/Sentinel Goggles

New from the Tactical Night Vision Company is the TNV/Sentinel Binocular Night Vision System. Manufactured by Adams Industries, the Sentinel BNVS was designed in direct response to the ground deployment of ANVIS Aviation Goggles and their subsequent breakage due to not being rugged enough for that environment. It’s up-armored when compared to standard ANVIS goggles, constructed with a machined composite housing bolstered by aluminum front and rear plates on the bridge. Unlike the complete lack of waterproofing offered by standard ANVIS goggles, the Sentinel is submersible up to 66 feet.

The Sentinel utilizes worm drive interpupillary adjustment, with none of the creaking and rattling found in aviation goggles and is built using L-3 Infinity OMNI VIII Image Intensifier Tubes, Gen3 tubes which offer unparalleled clarity, resolution, low light performance, and durability. The Sentinel also features a user-swappable mount interface, and can be field-adapted to either standard dovetail mounts or ANVIS-style ball detent mounts. Depending on the configuration, the Sentinel is powered either by a single CR123 battery or a remote battery pack. The Sentinel is available in a corrosion resistant matte black or FDE finish.

So what do we do about it?

In April of 2012, Bank of America asked Kelly McMillan to find another bank simply because he manufactured firearms. Conversations with Firearms Industry partners and customers show this is a growing problem. The Firearms industry is under enormous pressure, with many financial vendors covertly AND OVERTLY discriminating against Firearms manufacturers and retailers. Companies are being deprived of the ability to process debit and credit card transactions, often with no notice, simply because they sell firearms, ammunition, or related products and services.

To combat this trend, Kelly McMillan formed McMillan Merchant Solutions (MMS) and our mission is to help strengthen the firearms industry while supporting those organizations that are fighting for our 2nd Amendment rights. We can now provide financial stability for those who accept credit cards as payment and also provide short-term loans to qualified customers.

Let’s be proactive before we have to be reactive! Please help support our collective cause by Like’ing this Page. For more information on our services, and how you can SAVE money while SUPPORTING our Industry, email me at zev@mmsllc.com or call me at our toll free number 855-431-4979.

Stratagem – TALON G36 Polymer Mag Holder

Friday, August 9th, 2013

Stratagem has developed the TALON G36 polymer mag holder specifically to reduce the reloading speed and reloading cycle of the G36. It attaches to any MOLLE/PALS system using two short MALLACE clips, and can be mounted in either the up or down position. The TALON is made from a high-impact resistant polymer that provides anti-fragmentation properties. It uses a patented locking system to secure the mag until needed, and is ergonomically designed to naturally fit into the natural motion sequence of reloading. Attachment slots on the front of the holder allow for the attachment of additional modular pouches.
