Impact Weapons Components – SCAR QD Sling Mount-N-Slot

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

SCAR Mount-N-Slot

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.

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

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).

PIG Bomber Mag Pouch - Side

This also makes for a super slim pouch but it relies on additional devices like MALICE clips or zip ties to be PALS compliant.

PIG Bomber Mag Pouch - rear

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.

PIG Bomber Mag Pouch - Double

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.

TYR Tactical Southern Pines Grand Opening This Weekend

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

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.

20140326-114028.jpg

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. This is because items will still be manufactured in Peoria, AZ and sent in biweekly freight shipments to Southern Pines. All online order status and expedite requests will still handled at our flagship location in Peoria, AZ.

Hours of Operation:
Monday – Friday
9am – 5pm
By Appointment Only

Looks Dangerous To Me

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

I am by no means a gunfighter but I can certainly recognize when something is dangerous on a range, and this looks dangerous. What do you think?

The video is a production of American Defense Enterprises, a small training company located in the Los Angeles area. Here’s a trailer they produced to pitch a reality series. Entitled, “The Professionals” by their own admission, they “do dangerous things.”

Scott Blackwell Steps Down From President of Marketing and Sales for Remington

Wednesday, March 26th, 2014

Scott Blackwell has been working with Remington frontman George Kollitides since 2006. Earlier today, Kollitides announced via internal memo that his longtime friend and advisor Blackwell was leaving his position as President of marketing and Sales for Remington Outdoor Company, effective immediately.

It is with sadness that I announce the departure of Scott Blackwell, President of Remignton Outdoor Company. Since 2006, I have relied on Scott as an advisor, business partner and friend. His loyalty and dedication to our Company and its people are unrivaled.

As President, Scott has overseen sales, marketing and the P&L’s as well as working hand-in-hand with me to develop our strategy.

The mark of a great leader is the people they recruit, develop and grow. Fortunately, Scott is such a person; he is leaving behind a world-class team, and both Scott and I are confident they will rise to the challenge. In fact, I believe this is why Scott has decided now is the time to pursue other opportunities. He is confident in the team he has put in place and wants to see them flourish.

Effective immediately, and until further notice, Scott’s direct reports will report to me.

Please join me in wishing Scott all the best in his future endeavors and thanking him for his deep loyalty and long service to our Company.
