Walking through the halls of the IWA Outdoor Classics I ran across German optics manufacturer MAK.
In a display case in the booth was latest addition to the MAKmilmont line. It seems to have some interesting characteristics that remind me quite a bit of the Spuhr Ideal Scope Mount System.
This is a Spuhr ISMS.
What do you think?
This one is awesome. Take a look at the Hotel sign. Just to left of it, you’ll notice a German artillery shell, from the 1870 war between France and Germany.
Thanks Ar!
During IWA I had a chance to sit down with First Tactical to discuss their next wave of products as well as their direct to consumer sales strategy. Next week, First Tactical is launching their new Specialist Line which includes shirts and trousers.
What makes these pants different is that they are a great value for someone looking for an inexpensive pair of duty pants. Sure, they look just like First Tactical’s other offerings and have the same fit but they’ve changed fabrics and removed a couple of extras from the design like rivet reinforcements from the belt loops. But that doesn’t mean that aren’t built to last; the pants are still triple stitched. The material for the Specialist Line is a double ripstop polyester/cotton blend with no mechanical stretch and a Teflon Shield+ stain repellent finish. The Specialist Pants come in BDU, Tactical, and EMS styles and will sell for $39.99.
The Specialist Shirts feature three new shirts in Tactical and BDU stylings and are designed with a strong, ripstop polyester/cotton and a Teflon Shield+ stain repellent finish. Built-in ventilating system gives wearers durability, freedom of movement, and breathability. The Specialist Shirts are priced at $44.99.
The SureFire SF-BFA-556-M4 was engineered for the issue M4 carbine with 14.5″ barrel with carbine gas system and designed to mount on SureFire 556 muzzle devices.
Hat tip to JW!
LBT Inc is expanding their Doug’s Trench program to allow customers to choose the colorways of existing products. It’s not a full custom shop but rather an opportunity to “make it yours”.
LBT will review concepts weekly and contact submitters. Custom fabrics must be available and minimums will apply but will vary depending on the project. However, I know they’ve done runs with minimums as small as 25 to 50 so crowdfunding with your buddies is important in order to make it happen.

During Enforce Tac we shared a few photos of signature management products by Fibrotex. The uniform used in conjunction with the ghillie suit is an FR garment issued to Dutch SF in their new digital pattern.
Offered in the Netherlands by Profile Equipment, these garments are intended for wear in hot weather and the proprietary fabric is treated with Permethrin as well as being FR.
The ripstop weave fabric is a blend of four different fibers. Additionally, stress points and slotted buttons are bartacked and they’ve incorporated wide belt loops for duty belts as well as height adjustable kneepads in addition to easily removable labels and washing instructions to prevent irritation.
