“Into The Breach” remains just as poignant today as it was when Crye Precision presented this tribute to our fallen on Memorial Day 2013.
Memorial Day, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated in 1868 as Decoration Day. The day was established as a time for the nation to come together after the Civil War to decorate the graves of fallen Civil War Soldiers with flowers. Decoration Day was officially changed to Memorial Day in 1971, extending the observance to honor all Americans who died while in military service.

Many of you may remember Slangvel for his custom boonie and M43 hats he sells on eBay. Occassionally, he also makes smocks and generally in the South African Defense Force Slangvel or “snakeskin” style. That name derives from the high tenacity fabric used to reinforce high wear areas which reminded wearers of snake skin.
This time, he had some Austrian camo fabric and decided to make a South African style Para Smock. In fact, this one is available right now on eBay.

Pelican introduce a new line of cases called Pelican Air. Although up to 40% lighter than other Pelican cases, they still protect your valuables during storage and transit. That’s because they are molded from the use of their new HPX resin which rebounds without breaking as well as the use of honeycomb structural elements.
The design has been tested by dropping on concrete with loads from a height of six feet on all sides and corners as well as sustaining a 28lbs steel dart dropped on all sides from three feet. Additionally, the case is capable of being submerged for 30 mins at a depth of one meter.
Handl Defense specializes in accessories and upgrades for the FN SCAR. They’ve expanded its capability to six calibers: .308, .260, .300 Blackout, 5.56, .7.62×39 and 5.45×39. The conversions include bolt, barrel, handguard and lower receiver. You provide your own magazines. They also offer a universal bolt carrier group which works with all of the different bolts. Additionally, the current handguard is carbon fiber, but Handl will be introducing an extruded aluminum version soon.
