PR experts Solkoa have transitioned their survival modules to the commercial market. Developed for military survival kits, the modules combine items to conduct various survival activities into single packages such as signal, shelter, medical, etc.
Additionally, they offer full kits such as the Core Kit shown below. Everything in that display case is contained within the kit seen at bottom right.
In years past, Crye Precision has used SHOT Show to unveil a whole host of new technologies. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, those products don’t always make it mass market that same year. This has not frustrated not only customers but Crye as well. So this year, there won’t be as many new products on public display.
AVS 1000 Pack
First off, Crye Precision has a pack designed for use with the AVS. It can be used as a stand-alone or attached to a platform via PALS or you can use it as a plate bag.
The padding on the back of the pack can be removed via Velcro.
JPC 2.0
Lighter than the first model, the new JPC 2.0 has stretchier plate bags in order to accommodate a wider range of armor plates.
It incorporates a new release mechanism and has four different front flap options compatible with AVS.
There are also pull handles at the cummerbund.
Hitcoat Shoulders and Yoke
Last year, CP released the Hitcoat.
This year, they’ve introduced the Hitcoat Shoulders and Yoke, a single size armor system (vice the Hitcoat’s 5 sizes) which offers simple to doff protection for the upper arms and shoulders.
SIX12
The SIX12 has received a little bit of a facelift.
The barrel and cylinders are now Titanium and there is a QD mount.
They’ve added a Remington choke to the 22″ barrel Bullpup model.
More info coming in www.six12.com.
As always, Crye Precision continues to innovate and concentrate on the customer. There is lots going on and some of those items you will see later this year.

Las Vegas, NV (January 20, 2015) – CamelBak announces the launch of the Rubicon and Skirmish as part of its Maximum Gear line for 2015. Utilizing a unique 100 oz. (3L) Mil Spec Antidote Lumbar Reservoir, these packs re-invent the way water is carried in tactical hydration packs. The low profile, baffled lumbar reservoir integrates into a specially-designed insulated hydration compartment at the base of each pack. This exclusive reservoir design moves the weight of the water onto the hips for a more comfortable and ergonomic load-carry and is built from the same material as the standard Mil Spec Antidote Reservoir, which meets the USMC hydration system requirement for tensile strength, puncture resistance and burst resistance.
With cargo capacities of 2,868 and 2,014 cubic inches respectively, the Rubicon and Skirmish are two of the largest packs in the Maximum Gear line. To reduce bulk, both packs are equipped with innovative, sleek and low-profile laser-cut composite MOLLE panels on the face and harnesses that provide secure attachment for pouches and gear.
“Water is one of the heaviest pieces of gear to carry, and is essential to staying hydrated and surviving in hot climates,” said Jeremy Galten, VP of R&D of CamelBak Products. “Our unique lumbar reservoir design gives warfighters the ability to carry their water low and around their hips for a lower center of gravity and more stable load-carry.” Designed for extended missions, both packs feature full clamshell openings for easy access to main compartments, additional lower access to the main compartment to quickly stash or grab items, a front pocket organizer pocket, internal mesh pockets keep items organized and easy to find and an internal MOLLE panel allows custom configuration of essential gear/pouches. The larger of the two packs, the Rubicon also includes low-profile padded side pockets to protect critical gear, a second large main compartment with full clamshell opening and additional internal organization mesh pockets. It also comes with a deployable internal panel to create an upper/ lower compartment in the main cargo pocket for added versatility.
Other shared features include a contoured back panel for a more comfortable fit, side carry handles for loading and unloading, top grab handle, two main compartment adjustable lash straps to secure large or bulky items, multiple drink tube exit ports for routing the tube over the shoulder or under the arm, ASIPS radio attachment points with dual antenna ports to hold communications securely, quick-release shoulder straps, a removable and stowable fully adjustable padded waist belt, upper and lower compression straps, an adjustable sternum strap and hook-and-loop panel for the hassle-free removal of nametags and unit badges.
Given all the gear a warfighter carries, CamelBak helps lighten the load by using lightweight, durable 500D Ripstop Cordura material, which has a tighter weave and is significantly lighter than standard 1000D Cordura . Using this material with the unique design of the Mil Spec Antidote Lumbar reservoir makes these the most advanced and versatile tactical packs for carrying ammunition, cargo, and hydration. Both packs come with the Mil Spec Antidote Lumbar Reservoir that includes the essential features CamelBak is known for, such as the Quick Link exit port, Big Bite Valve, HydroGuard technology for easy cleaning, and QL HydroLock for secure shut
off.
Available in October, 2015, the Rubicon and Skirmish measure 21.9 X 14.5 X 13.1 and 20.3 X 14.6 X 12.1 inches respectively and come in Coyote and MultiCam.
Available on GSA contract GS07F-9727H, at Exchanges, and all usual CamelBak Maximum Gear distribution outlets.
In addition to the DDM4v11 Pro Series Rifle for 3-Gun shooters, Daniel Defense is also announcing new accessories for their KeyMod SLiM rail.
“We modified a few of our existing tried-and-true accessories, like the Flashlight Mount and 1 O’clock Offset Mount, to incorporate the KeyMod attachment,” said Jordan Hunter, Director of Marketing for Daniel Defense.
Also, for 2015, DD has incorporated the innovations announced last year into their full one such as Daniel Defense Rail Panels and a newly designed Rear Receiver QD Swivel Attachment Point.

B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. Releases New 249-Saker Flash Hider with SilencerCo
January 19, 2015 (Redmond, WA) – B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. has released their new 249-Saker Flash Hider, providing the same patented design features of their original 249 flash hider, now compatible with the SilencerCo Saker series of sound suppressors.
“We approached SilencerCo a year ago to talk about a redesign to our classic 249. We felt that they were providing the best systems on the market and that they were innovating and evolving at an impressive pace.” said Matt Meyers, Director of Marketing and Business Development. “The SilencerCo team has been terrific to work with and we are excited to be able to promote their products by offering a compatible B.E. Meyers flash hider.”
B.E. Meyers designed the original versions of their flash hider in the 1990s (5.56mm, 7.62mm, and .50BMG) exclusively for SWCC, and then later on provided them to other US and international military customers. Only recently did they team with WeaponOutfitters.com to launch the top-rated 249 commercially, which has been a terrific success.
The design incorporates the four-pronged flash hider structure with patented asymmetric tines and interior expansion grooves that B.E. Meyers & Co. Inc. is known for. At 2.65” OAL, the 249-Saker is slightly shorter than its predecessor and has the SilencerCo MAAD mounting system integrated in the base. Additionally, the new flash hider has the same Melonite finish as the revised version of the 249.
The 249-Saker will be available through WeaponOutfitters.com as well as other B.E. Meyers online and storefront retailers in February of 2015.
