OWENS CROSS ROADS, Ala.

“This year, the company began producing a custom fiberglass stock lineup that allows shooters to experience the same world-class design and manufacturing processes used in our carbon fiber stocks at a lower price point,” said Matt Tandy, AG Composites owner. “The fiberglass stocks are designed and built using the same 71-step process and cutting-edge technology we use when building our best-in-class premium carbon fiber stocks. For those where weight is not an issue on their firearm, the few extra ounces with the fiberglass versus the carbon fiber will save them hundreds of dollars. And, they are all proudly 100 percent made in America.”

AG Composites now offers Bottom Metals for its rifle stocks as well as a line of aluminum anodized metal add-ons. A new line of camo patterns is also available for the new line of fiberglass stocks, making this new fiberglass line a perfect match for rifle manufacturers looking to expand their line.

The integrated PALS slots not only give the TOTEM pouches their name, but also enable stacking of pouches. Additionally, the bottom of the pouch is partially open, preventing moisture from collecting inside.

The Tegris mounting plates are ambidextrous and the rifle TOTEM pouches can be mounted vertically or horizontally, while the pistol pouches can be mounted vertically or at 45 degrees.

Available in 7 colors and made in Poland from American materials.

USSF Rolls Out New Physical Training Uniform at BMT

March 12th, 2024

ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) —
The United States Space Force began the roll-out of its Physical Training Uniform March 8, when it was provided to the newest Basic Military Training Guardian trainees.

“This is more than a uniform rollout, this is the first finalized service-specific uniform that Guardians can wear with pride,” said Maj. Gen. Steven Whitney, Space Force Director of Staff.

The new uniform now includes performance features such as breathable, moisture-wicking shorts designed for running, and soft, quick-drying material to help curb sweat and odor. The uniforms will be available in both men’s and women’s sizes, rather than unisex, for a better fit.

Overcoming material shortages and supply chain delays stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the uniform development team diligently worked to design the Space Force PT uniform with Guardians in mind.

“From the word ‘go’ we have been committed to keeping Guardian feedback at the forefront of developing service-specific uniforms,” said Catherine Lovelady, Space Force change management team program analyst. “We are grateful to our partners at the Air Force Uniform Office who helped make this a reality for Guardians.”

The Space Force will celebrate its fifth anniversary Dec. 20, 2024; this rollout is significant as the youngest military service continues building its culture and identity.

“The Space Force is committed to making the Guardian experience something that our service members can be proud of,” said Chief Master Sergeant of the Space Force John Bentivegna. “The uniform connects Guardians to each other and their service. It represents our spirit and our strength operating as one team.”

Uniform delivery to select AAFES locations will begin in the next several months at Peterson, Schriever, Buckley, Vandenberg, and Patrick Space Force Bases, Los Angeles Air Force Base, and the Pentagon.

Guardians will utilize the same wear instructions as the U.S. Air Force physical training uniform utilizing DAFI 36-2903, Dress and Personal Appearance of United States Air Force and United States Space Force Personnel, until a standalone Space Force Instruction for Dress and Appearance is released later this year.

The PT uniform cost will be calculated into the Guardian uniform replacement allowance beginning April 2024. Guardians are encouraged to only purchase one set of the uniform as supplies will be limited as rollout begins.

AARDVARK Tactical’s PROJECT7 Armor Updates XPV, Expands Production

March 11th, 2024

La Verne, CA: PROJECT7 Armor is pleased to announce new additions to the in-demand Xternal Patrol Vest (XPV) product line as well as the company’s production process. Effective immediately, the XPV is available in a new Uniform style carrier as well as two new colorways, navy blue and tan 499. In addition to the expanded XPV product options, PROJECT7 (P7) is increasing production capacity for all products. Both updates are driven by increased demand for PROJECT7’s industry-leading tactical armor systems.

The XPV launched in the spring of 2023 and since then, has been in demand by law enforcement and firefighters. The platform was designed to reimagine how police officers, detectives, K-9 handlers, firefighters, and paramedics are armored. The new uniform carrier and two new color options come in response to customer demand and bring the total number of color options to seven.

This product update aligns with the XPV’s intended goal to provide customizable solutions for individual officers. The vest offers the benefits of a four-panel, tactical vest shape in a patrol-compatible vest that has multiple configurations to fit specific use cases. The XPV can be worn with its external carrier and ballistics alone or, for missions that require concealment or when wearing a Class A uniform, the optional internal concealable carrier and ballistic panels can be worn under a uniform or street clothes.

One of the XPV’s most revolutionary features is the four-panel design. While traditional patrol vests utilize a two-panel construction (front and rear), the XPV’s four-piece design (front, rear, and two cummerbunds) supports better sizing and greater coverage without sacrificing comfort. This improves mobility and wearability over traditional two-panel designs while also providing better coverage. Unlike other vests on the market, the XPV adapts to officers over time, offering a continuous fit over the service life of the vest regardless of officers’ weight fluctuation or changes to body composition.

In addition to the updated XPV product options, PROJECT7 is also expanding its production capacity across its product lines. This is in response to a near 100% growth in PROJECT7 sales year-over-year. With the culmination of years of research, development, consultation, and testing, PROJECT7 has grown to offer a wide variety of platforms, helmets, and ballistic shields – aimed at providing the right solution for every user and threat.

Speaking about the development of PROJECT7, founder Jon Becker said, “We are extremely excited to expand the XPV product line and grow our manufacturing capability. When we started PROJECT7, it was our dream to build the absolute best possible armor system in direct cooperation with our end users. The rapid adoption we have seen, combined with our clients’ love for the brand has made that dream a reality and we are profoundly grateful for all the support. An end user entrusting their safety to PROJECT7 is the highest possible compliment we can receive.”
