The MOLLE back panel was designed to give LV/119 O V E R T users the ability to quickly swap out multiple rear bag loadout configurations based on the needs of a mission set.

With its semi-rigid MOLLE frame, multiple anchor points, and quick zip installation, the MOLLE Back Panel is just as robust as a permanent sewn-in system while providing a near limitless set of pouch combination options.

Soldier Systems Daily; it all started with a redeye flight from San Diego to Norfolk and a copy of Wired magazine. I had wanted to start writing again and there was this article on the rivalry between tech blogs Gizmodo and Endgadget. I learned that a blog could be about something tangible and decided to use the format. Not long after, SSD was born. It started as a means to keep me off the streets at night, but within a year became a full time job. I’m so grateful to be able to do something I love.

Earlier this week we hit our 13th year of existence, publishing a daily website. Naturally, hard at work publishing daily, we missed the anniversary. So here we are, patting ourselves on the back a few days late.
We’ve been fortunate to outlast most of the competition and the past 14 months of “just 14 days to flatten the curve,” have made it tough. But the truth is, we wouldn’t exist without our loyal readers and fantastic advertisers. Many of them are small business owners, feeling the pinch of these tough times like everyone else. Please support them when you get a chance and keep reading; daily, it’s in the name.

April 30 is the last day you can enter to win an all-expense-paid AKM build class with Rifle Dynamics at their HQ in Las Vegas, courtesy of GunMag Warehouse.
The winner of the contest will be announced on 05/01/2021.
Gunmag Warehouse and Rifle Dynamics have teamed up for the biggest giveaway of the year! One lucky winner will enjoy the opportunity to build their own AK, dive into the history of the Kalashnikov, handle different AK platforms, and keep their own custom-built AK afterward (shipped via an FFL of course).
This giveaway will cover the cost of the trip, class fees (firearm included), food, room, and board.
And while there can only be one first-place winner, fear not as there are chances to win other incredible prizes: second and third place winners will be laden with 30-round “Mag Lads” magazines from Rifle Dynamics and Bulgarian AK magazines (the reinforced steel lug polymer mags) from GMW.
Enter online here; learn more about the contest here on The Mag Life.
And hey — if this is the kind of thing that butters your biscuits, you might also find it worth the time to check out GMW’s ever-broadening AKM/AK47 gift guide for Kalashnophiles.

ESS developed the Crossblade Spectacle to offer a more form fitting frame style with thinner ear pieces which fit under over-the-ear hearing protection.

There are clear and smoke grey lenses and the NARO lens and nosepiece sizes fit narrower faces which helps mitigate fogging experienced when too large lenses are worn. The lenses and nose pieces are interchangeable for a more custom fit.
The lenses feature ClearZone Dual Flow coating to eliminate fog inside and prevent scratches outside. They also conform to Federal OSHA, ANSI Z87.1-2015, CE EN 166 and U.S. MIL-PRF-32432A standards.
The Crossblade and Crossblade NARO are on the US Army Authorized Protective Eyewear List and are RX compatible.
Units and agencies can procure ESS products by contacting Atlantic Diving Supply.
