IWC’s SCAR QD Sling Mount-N-Slot is an addition to the stock SCAR sling attachment points. The Mount-N-Slot installs directly into the stock sling points using a T25 TORX 8-32″ Grade 8 fastner, requiring no disassembly of the rifle. It offers an offset attachment point when compared to the factory points, improving comfort and functionality when using a QD swivel mount. Eight position rotation limited design prevents sling-wrap up during use of the weapon. Available for the right rear, left rear, and left front sling attachment points.
CNC machined from 303 stainless steel and Black Melonite plated. Made in the USA.

Manufactured from Nylon webbing, the PIG Bomber Mag Pouch’s construction offers 45.3 million times the abrasion resistance as standard nylon (ok, it’s not THAT much, but it’s more). The PIG Bomber Mag Pouch is also lightweight at 2.4 ounces (2.8 oz for the double).
This also makes for a super slim pouch but it relies on additional devices like MALICE clips or zip ties to be PALS compliant.
You might notice that the pull tab is made of Hypalon which makes it great for use in wet conditions. There is also a small grommet at the floor of the pouch to facilitate drainage. Additionally, the flaps on both the Single and Double versions can be tucked into the body for an easy-access open top pouch.
The Double version of the PIG Bomber Mag Pouch incorporates an internal elastic strap to held your rear magazine fast while you draw the front mag.
Available in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green and MultiCam.

Nate and Steve from Tactical Tailor will be attending the 2014 U.S. Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition on March 27-28 at Fort Bragg.
Some of you have been wondering what the USASOC Sniper Competition this week is all about. We ran across this video on the Special Forces Sniper Course that gives you the background on the intensive, 8 week program that produces SOF Snipers for the US Army. This is the caliber of competitors at this week’s match.
See you there!
Since 2010 our goal has always been to make each design feel like it was custom made for you, The Next Generation Warrior®. Our next evolution starts now. Please join us as we celebrate the Grand Opening of our first east coast facility, TYR Tactical™ Southern Pines.
Our Mission:
Southern Pines primary purpose is to act as a Custom Shop and “TYRORIZE” facility. The Custom Shop will allow you to take one of the five available platforms (PICO-DA, PICO-MV, PICO-MVS, COMA001, Ultra Low Vis Plate Carrier for the Velocity ULV Plate) and customize it with already existing TYR Tactical™ pouches. “Customization” refers to hard sewing pre-existing TYR Tactical™ pouches/MOLLE to one of the 5 above platforms. TYRORIZE \’tir-o-rise\ [adv] Meaning to modify or enhance an operator’s existing nylon or armored equipment.
Why Southern Pines?
Southern Pines is a perfect spot. We looked elsewhere in the region, but that community was the only one that felt like a second home. Fort Bragg is obviously a major hub for the Army, I wanted to be in a place with a great quality of life that was also positioned strategically to help our company grow. For us, Southern Pines is that place, so this move makes total sense.
Why Now?
TYR Tactical™ is a fast paced and growing company. This move is the culmination of 2 years of planning. Our objective is to bring the innovation, style and quality of manufacturing that every TYR Tactical™ product has to the east coast.
Can I order online and pick it up at TYR Tactical™ Southern Pines?
Yes. TYRTactical.com will offer a “SOPO Will Call” shipping option. A $5 handling fee will apply.

All online order status and expedite requests will still handled at our flagship location in Peoria, AZ.
