MDM 18 – SOCOM 260-TI Suppressor
Tuesday, September 25th, 20182018 Modern Day Marine
Tuesday, September 25th, 2018
The 2018 Modern Day Marine Exposition kicked off to a very wet morning. We’re looking forward to seeing the latest industry has to offer.
MDM 17 – National Molding Two-Point Release Evil Twin
Thursday, September 21st, 2017National Molding is always working on new products.
The Two-Point Release Evil Twin is a direct pull cable release system which can be built into an armor vest or other system.
MDM 17 – Geissele Automatics Super Modular Rail MK16
Thursday, September 21st, 2017The Upper Reciever in this photo is equipped with the M-Lok standard, Super Modular Rail MK16 Rail, from Geissele Automatics (but in Desert Dirt Color rather than Black), and Super Charging Handle as well as a Daniel Defense Barrel and Gas Block and finished off with a SureFire WarComp. US Army Special Operations Command, as well as others, are said to be looking at this configuration. Despite being referred to by some as “URG-I” (Upper Receiver Group Improved) these are parts, intended to replace existing components, giving their M4A1s an update. The Super Modular Mk16 is not available commercially.
For those of you familiar with the Geissele Gas Pedal, that’s one on the lower. It’s ambidextrous and offers a 45 Deg throw from Safe to Semi. The real magic is when you depress the spring-loaded Gas Pedal, offering momentary Full Auto performance, as long as it is depressed. Let go, and the weapon reverts to Semi Auto mode. It takes a couple of magazines to overcome muscle memory associated with the full 90 Deg throws of a standard Selector, but it’s a very fast transition from Semi to Full Auto. There’s no more fumbling with the Selector, just push the Gas Pedal and Rock and Roll. This is an upgrade DoD should consider immediately.
MDM 17 – Bike Track Modular Plastic Flooring
Thursday, September 21st, 2017I was walking past Quantico Tactical’s booth and I noticed this flooring sample on one of the tables. For a lot of our readers this is going to seem very mundane, but if you’ve lived in a tent, or worked in a tent, for weeks and months at a time, if you don’t put down some form of flooring, you’re going to be ankle deep in a mess rather quickly.
Bike Track offers stainable, slip-resistant, 1″ and 2″ thick flooring as well as 2″ ICM flooring which features channels for cable management. That too is a big deal. There’s nothing worse than tripping all over power and data cords, except maybe standing in a mud puddle while you brief the CG.
The HDPE 4′ x 3.5′ panels snap together and can be installed without tools. Even better, they have NSNs.

They are offered in the full CP size range which is prefect for those who are running a uniform program. The uniforms are also available in MultiCam, Desert MARPAT, US Navy Types II and III (AOR 1 and 2) and NATO Woodland (that’s what we wore in the 80s and 90s for you whippersnappers).

It has a couple of unique features. for instance, the side Velcro can be pulled down in order to route cables behind it.
The rear pocket will accommodate a battery case and when opened comes with counterweight material.
