    Maker Monday – S&S Precision’s GRT Adapter

    November 24th, 2014

    Boltheron

    The new GRT Adapter allows most pouches to be used with the SSP Gear Retention Track. Additionally, the mounting plate can accept most pistol magazine pouches for use as a double pistol magazine pouch. One application that I really like is that the GRT mounting plate is compatible with Safariland’s single injection molded pistol magazine pouch. I really like it. Naturally, it works with virtually any other soft pistol/rifle mag pouch as well.

    • Machined 6061 GRT adapter
    • Plastic mounting plate

    Coming Spring 2015 – “Tomorrow War” from J.L. Bourne

    November 23rd, 2014

    TOMORROW WAR

    IMG_9343.JPG

    In this riveting, ultra-realistic novel from J.L. Bourne, a man struggles to survive after the US infrastructure collapses and martial law engulfs the streets of America.

    In the not-too-distant future, during an unacknowledged mission inside the Syrian border, a government operative unwittingly triggers an incredible event that alters the course of society. A terrible weapon has been unleashed—a weapon that, left to run its course, will destroy the moral fabric of humanity.

    In the midst of crisis, the population struggles to survive in a world short on vital resources. Inflation cripples the US economy and post-war armored military vehicles patrol the streets.

    One man stands up to push back the overwhelming wave of tyranny triggered by the onset of nationwide martial law. How can he possibly succeed against a high tech and tyrannical enemy that is hell-bent on ripping liberty from the pages of future history?

    From the author and military expert who brought readers the riveting horror series DAY BY DAY ARMAGEDDON, TOMORROW WAR is a compelling account of an alternate dystopian America located just down the tracks of oblivion.
