Evolution of Austrialpin Buckles for Ares Armor Derma Carrier
June 18th, 2013Magpul Releases 40 Rd M3 Magazines and M4 Ranger Baseplates
June 17th, 2013
The PMAG 40 AR/M4 GEN M3 is a 40 round version of the GEN M3 PMAG that accommodates the additional 10 rounds in an extra length of 2 1/8″. It also offers full compatibility with the USMC M27 IAR. The new M3 PMAG technology also incorporates a redesigned bolt catch notch in the rear of the magazine, providing increased bolt catch clearance, while an over-travel stop on the spine helps ensure the magazine will not over-insert on compatible weapons.
Sold in packs of 3, just like the original, the Magpul GEN 3 PMAG Ranger Plate is a floorplate replacement for the 5.56×45 PMAG AR/M4 GEN M3 magazines that incorporates an integral loop to speed extraction from pouches.

S.H.O.V.E.L.
June 17th, 2013This story originally posted on Tactical Fanboy.
The S.H.O.V.E.L. or Semi-Horned Oblong Versatile Eating Ladle, is not just an ordinary titanium spork. It’s also has a serrated knife, bottle cap opener, and six feet of red paracord wrapped around its body. Well, all this, and it also happens to be open-source. The product page includes the data sheet and CAD files so, given the proper tools, you can make your own S.H.O.V.E.L. and even make improvements to the design.

HTM Knives – Master Proven MP01
June 17th, 2013
Designed by MSG Grady Burrell (USA, Ret) and built by knife making legend Darrel Ralph of HTM Knives, the Master Proven MP01 is made from 154 CM steel with a 4.5 inch blade and an overall length of 9.25 inches. The textured handle features a hole at the rear that matches with the spur at the rear of the blade. This allows for an enclosed grip with the use of paracord or other material, increasing the retention capability of the knife. Available in ‘fixed blade’ and tanto styles, serrated or hone.
The sheath, developed by FirstSpear, uses their 6/9 Modular Pocket Technology. This makes the sheath lighter than a traditional MOLLE/PALS equivalent. Additionally, the sheath mounts closer and conforms tighter to the mounting platform due to the flexible nature of the attachment straps. The sheath is availabe in MultiCam.
Solder Systems daily readers can use code SSD223 to get the MP01 for the reduced price of $225, limit 3. Free shipping to CONUS and APOs, AK and HI add $10. To order, contact lacey@darrelralph.com.
