I though this was pretty cool.

Today in 1944, 1Lt Carter Harmon (standing top right), flew a YR-4B helicopter on a rescue mission to evacuate a light L-2 plane pilot and his passengers. This was the first helicopter rescue mission by the 1st Air Commando Group.

Gun Culture 2.0 was in full effect. It was a fun day with lots of great folks. I really enjoyed meeting so many new (and old) 2A supporters.

Thanks to all of the sponsors and especially Snake Hound Machine

Snake Hound Machine Boomstick

April 20th, 2013

You probably know New Hampshire’s Snake Hound Machine for their AKs. Now, they’re producing custom Remington 870s.

20130420-140313.jpg

I caught up with owner Owen Martin and he shared this gun with me. Although he generally starts with an 870 Express Magnum, this one started life as a stock Express Magnum.

20130420-140716.jpg

He breaks the 870 down and applies a reliability package to the action. Additionally, he introduces a billet aluminum, Teflon coated follower to the build and replaced the factory stock and fore end with Magpul models.

He also installs a ten round billet aluminum tube from RTI. Looking at the photo above you might notice where the tube has been turned down. This is to accommodate a clamp and gives you a good idea of how much beefier it is than other tubes.

Ares Armor

April 20th, 2013

Ares Armor showed me a prototype of their Derma Plate Carrier at today’s ‘Shot heard round the world!’ Event in New Hampshire.

20130420-131701.jpg

It incorporates several new features including the Ares-Austrialpin buckle we previewed awhile back.

20130420-132130.jpg

It’s a full cutaway cable release design. Look for the Derma and its unique elastic cummerbund late 2nd Qtr.

20130420-132209.jpg

While I was checking out the Derma I noticed Jon’s cool-guy jeans.

20130420-133156.jpg

The Tacticasual trousers integrate padded knees as well as two 30 round mag pouches in the left thigh.

20130420-133337.jpg

The magazines pop right up thanks to their mag elevator feature. No word on when these might be available.
