My vote for the best product at the Expo was the Helo Static Line Anchor System from Capewell Aerial Systems.
No more making your own. This system is preconfigured, complete with padding and will sustain more than the required 5200 lbs dynamic load (two jumpers simultaneously falling 14 feet). In fact, they tested the system all the way up to 12,000 lbs.
It also comes with a kit bag for storage which can also be used for recovered d-bag storage while in flight
Streamlight has introduced a new variant of their popular Sidewinder called the Boot. It was designed for use by US Marine Corps recruits during Boot Camp, hence the name.
Here, you can see the new Sidewinder Boot to the right of the original Sidewinder.
At just 3.52 oz, this hands-free angle-head flashlight features a 185 deg adjustable head and a permanently attached slide-in Red filter. It offers 55 lumens for 8 hours on the high setting via two AA batteries and features IPX7 waterproofing as well as a spring-steel clip to attach to clothing, equipment, or helmet.

Our coverage of highlights from the 2020 ADS Ft Bragg Warfighter Expo follows.
SureFire wants to know your thoughts on whether they should sell a few select adapters (muzzle brakes & Warcomps) in a new FDE Ionbond. The reason they are wondering, there are some pros and cons to the new color.
Pros:
-Looks awesome
-Coating is durable
Cons:
-The adapters will become discolored quickly. This is especially true if shot suppressed, as the device will be fully carbon colored.
Let us know what you think in the comments.
Today we have another addition to the FirstSpear American Wool Series where we have been moving through FS wool packages starting with ACM BASE, MID and now WARM. A few weeks ago we saw the all new full zip Woobie and today we are getting a look at the Qtr Zip Woobie.
Constructed with ACM-WARM 600 this material package offers the greatest amount of warmth from the FS merino wool packages while still providing exceptional moisture wicking capabilities as well as trapping warmth even when wet. The Qtr Zip Woobie features a high collar and wrist overs with thumbs holes you can easily roll out of the way if not desired.
100% Made in the USA with 100% American materials including the merino wool. Check out the entire merino wool line up from FirstSpear.
Available in Commando, Black, Sand, and Heather Grey.

The 2020 NRA Annual Meeting is cancelled.
We have been closely monitoring updates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Tennessee Department of Health. In fact, earlier today, a state of emergency was declared in Tennessee.
Therefore, we have reluctantly decided to cancel this year’s NRA Annual Meeting, planned for April 16 – 19 in Nashville. This applies to all events and scheduled programs, including the NRA-ILA Forum. We sincerely regret the need for this action, particularly for our many loyal members who join us for this annual celebration of the NRA and our constitutional freedoms. Details regarding a rescheduled NRA Members’ Meeting will be forthcoming.
Under the direction of NRA President Carolyn Meadows, the NRA Board of Directors is working with the Office of the Secretary in relation to board elections, meetings, and the like.
Please know that we did not reach this decision lightly. We were ultimately guided by our responsibility to help ensure the safety and well-being of our NRA members, guests, and surrounding community.
Please coordinate directly with any hotels, airlines or others who have assisted with your travel arrangements. Most companies have announced plans to accommodate travelers dealing with event cancellations.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Fort Worth, Texas: CMC Barrels™ is proud to announce its highly anticipated line of CMC AR Barrels. Since the 2018 inaugural launch of the CMC Glock® Match Precision Barrel, CMC has had the objective of developing a series of high-quality AR Barrels that complement their exceptional line of AR aftermarket products. The CMC Barrels™ AR Barrel line does just that.
With input received from military, law enforcement, and civilian shooters incorporated into the core engineering of their AR barrels, CMC has been able to accommodate the modern-day shooting requirements requested. Every barrel is precision, instrument-inspected for absolute straightness and air gauged for maximum uniformity, yielding the highest accuracy possible. Land and groove tolerance from breech to muzzle can vary only .0001″ for the best concentricity.
The first profiles availed will be based on the SOCOM variant. The CMC’s AR15 barrels are made from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium, coated in H&M Blacknitride+™ for increased wear resistance, chambered in .223 Wylde so that you can feed it both .223 and 5.56 NATO ammo.
CMC’s AR15 Barrels provide a choice of gas system lengths along with M4 feed ramps for reliability, a 1:7? twist rate, 1/2?x28 thread pattern to fit standard AR15 muzzle devices, 11-degree match crown for increased accuracy and a bottom dimple for easy install and alignment of gas blocks.
CMC AR15 barrels are coated in H&M Blacknitride+™ or Ferritic Nitrocarburizing, resulting in significantly improved surface properties on ferrous metal parts while maintaining dimensional and shape stability. H&M Blacknitride+™ yields increased wear resistance, improved fatigue strength, better corrosion resistance, improved lubricity, and enhanced cosmetic appeal.
CMC Barrels™ AR15 Barrel Features:
• Optimal length gas systems for barrel lengths
• 1:7″ twist rate
