    What Was The Deal With Pats Coach Bill Belichick’s Pre Super Bowl Tshirt?

    February 4th, 2015

    Prior to Sunday’s Super Bowl XLIX, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was spotted wearing an interesting shirt. The snake on the back, poised to strike, was somewhat reminiscent of Gadsden’s Don’t Tread On Me symbology but it wasn’t all there.

    Turns out, that wasn’t half wrong. The image was from the Dynamis Alliance DTOM Tshirt. The image was created by tattoo artist Joey Nobody and former SEAL and Dynamis frontman Dom Raso is a dyed in the wool Patriots fan. That’s where it came from.

    Arisaka Defense Releases KeyMod Offset Scout Mount

    February 4th, 2015

    Arisaka Defense has released its new Offset Scout Mount, a KeyMod-compatible mounting plate for the SureFire Scout M600 and M300 series weapon lights. The full release can be read below:

    Offset Mount

    Apex, NC, February 3, 2015 – Arisaka LLC is pleased to announce the release of its new Offset Scout Mount.

    1

    The Offset Scout® Mount is a low profile KeyMod mounting solution for the Surefire Scout Light® M600 and M300 series weapon lights. It utilizes Bravo Company’s patent pending inverted KeyMod screws, making the mount less than 0.165″ thick. The light is positioned at a 45 degree angle and has four lateral mounting positions, which allows the light to be tucked in close to the top Picatinny rail or positioned outwards to gain clearance around front sights or other accessories. The Offset Scout® Mount can also be paired with the Arisaka 300 Series Light Body for an even lower profile light setup.

    2

    The Offset Scout® Mount is compatible with most KeyMod handguards like the Noveske NSR, Bravo Company KMR, Knight’s Armament URX4, Geissele SMR MK4/5 KeyMod, and Midwest Industries SSK.

    Weighing only 0.4 oz, the Offset Scout® Mount is manufactured out of 6061 aluminum and type III hard coat anodized. Like all Arisaka products, it is made entirely in the USA.
