Stuff I Like – The Barracks Buddy from Atlas 46

July 13th, 2015

The patented Barracks Buddy was one of the first products developed by John Carver under his 5 Seas Engineering and Trading brand. We are smack dab in the middle of summer camping as well as Annual Training season on the reserve components side. The Barracks Buddy is a great accessory for keeping gear handy when you are staying in tents or barracks with bunks. Because it can be hung vertically or horizontally, I’ve even used it to line dry swimming trunks and towels. Crafted from 50″ long x 2″ wide webbing with a full length 550 cord tacked along the length to allow you to attach gear but the coolest part is the disc-style hook buckle which weaves into the 550 and can be nailed or screwed into a wall for permanent installations.

Features and Benefits
– Four hook set up to hang anything from clothes to bags to boots
– Loop hangers allow for variety of hanging options: on hooks, over rods, etc.
– Lower loop can be used to adjust the overall hanging length
– 2″ Mil-Spec nylon construction with reinforced stitching
– Hand crafted in the USA

The Barracks Buddy is available now in Black and Coyote from Atlas 46. made in USA and comes with storage bag.

SilencerCo & Jep Robertson #FightTheNoise

July 13th, 2015

WEST VALLEY CITY, UT – July 10, 2015 – SilencerCo joined Jep Robertson of Duck Commander in the bayou near West Monroe, LA to get to know the man behind the beard.

“I was born with a shotgun in my hand” says Jep. As the youngest son of the First Family of Duck Hunting, Jep is accustomed to the social aspect of shooting – including just how loud it can be when a chorus of shotguns erupts at the same time.

When the Salvo 12 was announced, it naturally became a staple of the Duck Commander arsenal. After making his first SilencerCo purchases and learning about the Fight the Noise campaign, Jep – an already outspoken advocate for gun rights – decided to add his voice to the movement.

Watch the video to join SilencerCo on the river as Jep shares his thoughts on silencers, the Second Amendment, and what matters most to him.

SilencerCo is proud to count Jep as a member of The Suppressed as we stand together to #FightTheNoise.

A PERSEC Reminder in the Wake of the OPM Breach

July 13th, 2015

We still don’t fully comprehend the full implications of the recent, massive, breach of the U.S. Government’s Office of Personnel Management’s computer files. Specifically, we know that security clearance information was stolen and there is a great deal of personal information found on the SF86 questionnaire that is also used on the web. For example, password hints for financial or otherwise important websites like the name of your elementary school, best friend’s name, etc. Seriously consider changing those and keep an eye on your information.

Remember, a little PERSEC goes a long way.

TNVC Introduces the MOD3 Modular NVG

July 13th, 2015

TNVC is now offering the incredible MOD3 Night Vision Goggle System. The MOD3 is the most modular goggle ever created and features a fully functional binocular system that can be broken down into two individually-operating monoculars in seconds. TNVC assembles the MOD3 with brand new high spec L-3 OMNI VIII MX10160 image tubes complete with factory data sheets.

Until now you could either have a binocular or monocular. The MOD-3 overcomes this problem by utilizing Optical Pods that are waterproof, Nitrogen purged units that can be installed into either a monocular or binocular. Power is conducted to the intensifier tube and indicator LEDs by means of spring loaded, gold plated contacts. Even the springs are gold plated to prevent corrosion.

The Optical Pods can be assembled in the MOD-3 Binocular Bridge to form a full function binocular. A latching mechanism firmly holds the Optical Pods in place and is easily manipulated with one finger. Installing or removing the Optical Pods is accomplished in just a couple seconds.

The other half of the MOD-3 system is the MOD-3 Monocular Adapter. This adapts an Optical Pod into a full function monocular. It has the same circuitry as the Binocular Bridge which means you have a flood IR LED, IR “on” indicator, and low battery indicator. It uses the 3V lithium battery as well. It also accepts the IR Spot/Flood adapters like the PVS-7 goggles use.

Like the Binocular Bridge, the Monocular Adapter releases the Optical pod with the press of one finger, allowing instant changeover from monocular to binocular. The monocular housing is waterproof and has a side mount like a PVS-14, allowing you to use it as you would any other monocular with head and weapon mounts. The monocular is 75 grams lighter than a PVS-14.

All MOD3 kits come complete with two full assembled Optic Pods with MILSPEC PVS-14 Objective and Eye Piece Lenses, One Binocular Bridge, and two Monocular Adapters. The Binocular bridge will attach to any dovetail night vision mount interface while the monocular adapters simply require the addition of any PVS-14 J-Arm to attach to a helmet mount.
