TacHacker – Project Honor Camo Spray Kit Available Now from TD
Thursday, October 4th, 2012TacHacker – Rudius 1911 80 Percent Frame from Ares Armor
Thursday, June 7th, 2012This has got to be the ultimate TacHacker project. Ares Armor is offering the Rudius 1911 80 Percent Frame. Named after the wooden sword presented to a Roman Gladiator upon earning his freedom. Fitting name once you understand what Ares has in mind.
Due to the level of finish on the weapon, it is not yet a weapon. According to Ares Armor, “To complete this frame all that need be done are the slide rails, barrel seat and the two rear pin holes. THERE IS NO FFL REQUIRED PER BATFE SPECIFICATIONS. This is not a firearm until you decide to make it one.” Now, the Rudius 1911 80 Percent Frame is available for pre-order at a significant discount. Get in on this by pre-ordering yours at www.aresarmor.com.

Sunday, September 18th, 2011Occasionally, we get inquiries from those looking for a few yards of this or that so that they can take on a do-it-yourself project. There are plenty of places to source fabric, but one that everyone who manufactures soft goods should check is Duro Textiles, LLC. They hold the license for MultiCam and print a wide variety of patterns on even more fabrics. Check this link for overrun offerings.
TacHacker – DIY Combat Shirts
Friday, September 9th, 2011Unfortunately, the Naval Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) doesn’t have an official combat uniform. Rather, units and oftentimes individuals have to provide their own combat fashions. The custom is to take a DCU blouse and have it modified by a tailor (if you’re lucky) by cutting out the torso and inserting a t-shirt or other material. Believe it or not, the first examples that showed up at Natick in the Objective Force Warrior office, years ago were just that. BDU-style sleeves sewn to Under Armour shirts so that the torso, which remains covered by body armor, will remain relatively cooler and dryer thanks to the wicking fabric.
Recently, we were on a CONUS range and observed several Navy personnel. As you can see, three men are visible and the are three different examples of combat-style shirts. There was another guy in the prone, shooting. While you can’t see him, indeed, he is wearing yet a fourth variant. However, out of all of the DIY combat shirts we have ever seen, the example with the hunting camo is by FAR the best.
