Eagles Nest Outfitters CamoLink Sleep System XL

March 8th, 2016

 

If you’re looking for a turnkey hammock shelter, the CamoLink Sleep System XL from ENO may be the one for you. I’ve used ENO hammocks in the past and really like them, but then I’ve had to piece together the other items needed to go from hammock in the backyard to actual backcountry shelter.

 

This kit, available through Tactical Distributors incorporates the CamoNest XL Hammock, Atlas Camo Suspension System, Guardian Bug Net, ProFly Camo Rain Tarp, and a set of tarp stakes.

 

The CamoNest XL hammock is made from a breathable 70D nylon taffeta, yet will accommodate up to 400 lbs. The material is also pretty quiet unlike some nylon shelters. The XL hammock is 9’4″ X 6’2″, making it their largest model. The ENO Camo ProFly is made from the same material. While ENO’s hammocks are offered in a wide variety of colorschemes, in this instance, it’s in a forest digital print rich with earth tone greens and Browns.

As Radical’s David Spector notes,

“This give us unmatched levels of quality control and allows us to build boutique quality rifles for everyman prices.”

You will not the KeyMod rails on RF rifles are set up differently than some manufacturers. This came about due to a request by a Federal agency.

“We run them like this as a fail safe so gear doesn’t fall off accidentally. Have you ever smacked your accessory up against a door frame on a regular rail? Bye bye accessory! You don’t have to worry about that with our rails.”

ZeroBravo Alpha Belt

March 8th, 2016

ABS1_L_9

Made in the USA.

What does that mean to you? To some manufacturers it means buying materials or extrusions overseas and finish machining parts in the US, or even having parts made overseas and assembling them in the US.

To ZeroBravo it means sourcing materials that are made in the US and then using those materials to make the best products money can buy! Only when a US made option is not available will we look elsewhere, as is the case with the Austrian made AustriAlpin buckles. All sewing and materials are Berry Compliant and the Dark Coyote Brown conforms to AR670-1.

The GAMA / M-Lok Battle Heats Up As Magpul Files Suit Against Gibbz Arms In Federal Court

March 7th, 2016

In late February Gibbz Arms released their patent pending GAMA system along with letters to brands that license other, similar weapon accessory attachment systems to adopt theirs, alleging that it pre-dated the other systems.

This was quickly followed by statements of reply from both Magpul and Gibbz Arms.

But now, the situation has taken a different direction. According to documents obtained by SSD, Magpul has filed suit in Federal District Court in Austin, Texas against Gibbz Arms.

Specifically, Magpul claims that Gibbz Arms has violated three of their patents (8,925,236 B1; 9,239,209 B2 and 9,239,210) and they are suing for treble damages, attorney fees, delivery of all infringing items produced by Gibbz Arms to Magpul for destruction, and a permanent injunction against producing, selling or offering products that infringe upon Magpul’s patents.
