Monday, October 3rd, 2011

Although they maintain a low profile, B5 Systems is well known in the defense and aerospace industries for building quality electrical and mechanical assemblies. In 2009, they were selected by the US Army to supply the SOPMOD Stock which was originally developed by NSWC-Crane for use with SOCOM’s SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modification) M4A1 carbines.

The stock features sloped sides for improved improved cheek weld as well as watertight battery storage compartments. Please remember, this stock will only fit carbine receiver extensions built to Mil-Spec dimensions.

The B5 Enhanced SOPMOD Stock is available from Rally Point Tactical who is bringing it to the commercial market at a substantially lower price than other, similar stocks. Interested parties (wholesale and retail) should contact shay@rptactical.com.

Threads

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

“Threads” is a clothing and equipment newsletter published by the Australian Department of Defence for industry. It is a great resource for keeping up with the latest in Australian initiatives. One interesting article confirms that the Australians are going to domestically manufacture their recently adopted Operational Combat Uniforms consisting of consists of four different garments: Field Shirt, Field Pants, Combat Shirt and Combat Pants designed by Crye Precision. The article also verifies that these will be printed in a new Australian variant of the MultiCam pattern. Hopefully, these will be manufactured from the latest version of TenCate’s FR Defender-M fabric rather than going back to the non-FR twill that some in Australia’s opposition political party have called for after some durability issues were noted with an older version of Defender-M. This new fabric adopted last year by the USMC and recently by the US Army features twice the tear strength of the version used in the last round of OCUs.

ARRSE Reviews Magnum Intrepid HPi Running Shoe

Friday, September 23rd, 2011

For those of you unfamiliar with ARRSE, it is a British military forum that prides itself in a no-holds-barred look at life in the service. Additionally, it offers a great deal of content on weapons, equipment and military culture. For example, take a gander at the wiki, called appropriately, “ARRSEpedia” entry for “Walts.”

They recently reviewed the MultiCam version of the upcoming Magnum Intrepid HPi Running Shoe. The shoes incorporate Magnum’s Ion-Mask technology which encapsulates the shoe’s materials so that they can’t absorb moisture. The bottom line is that the reviewer likes them. Go see why.

Triple Aught Design Reintroduces MultiCam

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011

Customers have asked and Triple Aught Design has listened. This Friday (23 Sep 2011), they are going to reintroduce the MultiCam colorway to their line. Here we will focus on three of their iconic bag designs, the FAST Pack Litespeed and EDC as well as the Dispatch Bag. However, they are also introducing MultiCam to their line of pouches. Manufactured from 1000D Cordura along with Mil-Spec printed PALS webbing, they add Hypalon reinforcement to select areas to protect the bags from abrasion. Triple Aught Design has put a lot of thought into their bags over the past few years and really refined them based on user feedback coupled with some moments of inspiration from the good idea fairy. For example, every pack includes their signature Flashlight Cave, a hidden pocket within arms reach to have immediate access to keys and other everyday carry items without having to take the bag off.

Here are the packs:

FAST Pack Litespeed

FAST Pack EDC

Dispatch Bag

Look for more in-depth coverage of each of these bags here soon and be sure to check for these products this Friday at www.tripleaughtdesign.com.
