Mission Spec Gains Contracts From Covert Agencies By Adding Denim Line - Soldier Systems Daily & MAKO TV
Thumpy Covey's insight:
And, INSTANTLY, Adam Parrie, the DOUCHEBAG AIRSOFER goes ‘legit’ and gets his mug all over the Interwebz. Just. Like. That. Geardo-ism will never be the same….and the MACC/MAKO TV is the center of the universe….

"...Available through International Armored Group and manufactured byTactical Revolution, LLC..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
And, probably about to be ripped off and reproduced in functional fashion by any one of a number of "clone artists-in-residence" over in Airsoftia....

"The second issue of Viewpoint Tactical magazine is now available.
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Nice...and available thanks to the always tacti-licious SSD!

"Every once in awhile we get an email that asks a question so universal that it needs to be answered on the site in the form of “Ask SSD.” Since the subject of this “Ask SSD” comes up over and over again in the comments section, we thought we’d address it here as a stand alone article...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
GREAT article...what did you expect?...from Big E at SSD. While this partly explains the costs/pricing/$$ to $$$$$ you see for some of the high-speed, low-drag gear you might want for a MilSim loadout, it does not compute to those purely-Airsoft related guns or goodies sold right along side them on used-gear forums or pages. Guys, the market for these items may have a set INITIAL price, but once it "leaves the showroom floor" the only price is the one that the market will bear. We agree a lot with ONE GRUNTS OPINION on pricing for used guns....you only PAY what you think the item is worth TO YOU. Keep your hands....and your hard-earned cash...in your pockets until you see the sticker-price you want to pay. There will usually be another item just like it, or that EXACT SAME ITEM back on the market once the novelty and the "need" wear off!

"Today, Magpul posted a statement on their website regarding their lawsuits against four companies alleging patent infringement. I’d like to know which four companies as well and as soon as my PACER account is back up, I’ll let you know.
UPDATED – The 4 companies are:
Magpul Industries Corp announced today that it has filed patent infringement lawsuits against four companies for..."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Lots of MAGPUL business news today....in the REAL STEEL REALM, this one....and an as-yet unsourced story circulating on the Web about AIRSOFT Magpul/PTS goings on.
THUMPY'S 3-D has known about the Airsoft rumors for more than 3-weeks now...but have NOT REPORTED, as neither Magpul nor PTS has responded to our queries for details. THIS RELEASE is how they "do work" with the media, and when they are ready to make details known on just what changed...or NO CHANGES...they plan to make in the Airsoft/MilSim realm....THIS IS HOW THEY'LL DO IT.
You know where to go when it DOES GO DOWN. 3-D, Baby
Rant over...read and weep....THUMPY....OUT!

“Today, Things Change For The Better. This photograph was originally published on 13 August, 2009. Unfortunately, the issue it depicts didn’t get fixed until today, almost six years later. Today finally marks the beginning of the end for the poorly named Universal Camouflage pattern which has afflicted our Army for the past 11 years.…”

Our buddy ERIC at SSD has been all over the Army’s Camo Debacle like white-on-rice, green-on-grass and cosmoline-on-a-brand new M1….he was THE SOURCE for information on all the twists and turns in the OCP takeover, as he usually is every day with the best real-gear and mil-newz! Congrats to him, but far from the end of the story. Get hooked up with Soldier Systems Daily for your geardo fix every stinkin’ day!

"...As an 18 Bravo(US Army Special Forces Weapon Sergeant), of course I had to possess the skills to effectively employ my personal weapon systems (carbines, pistols and crew served) in combat as well as the ability to maintain and repair them. But that is maybe, 5% of the job.... ...So when I look back at how I ran my kit, I see it was driven by considerations for many tasks, but above everything, my combat set-up was most influenced by my time as an athlete...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
WOW! Great read with one of the two videos from BCM linked on the Soldier Systems web'log...you guys who want to do it the way the real-deal guys do it NEED to read...no, wait...SHOULD BE REQUIRED to read Gunfighter hits from SSD! No B.S.

"Army Research Labs recently subjected several new fabrics to ballistic testing to see how they might perform in protecting against explosively launched debris for applications in clothing and other gear such as Protective Under Garments. They chose airsoft BBs from BB Bastard as test projectiles because they replicate the size and weight of gravel particles...."
Thumpy Covey's insight:
Glad to see Eric and the SSD gang pick up this solid piece on our buddies from Up North, providing testing materials that will help save lives! Read the report on Soldier Systems Daily, and pat the Bastards on the back, over at their FB Fan Page

"I’ve been dying to tell you about the new Dual-Enhanced View Optic and Leupold Carbine Optic from Leupold Optics but I’ve been under a Non Disclosure Agreement until literally two minutes ago. It’s great to see Leupold enter into the Red Dot Optic market...."

Our sincere condolences to the London Bridge Tactical/LBT/LBX "family" on your loss.

As you know, we’ve never been big on bling. For us, it’s more about substance than symbolism. But, if you see us at SHOT Show, say “Hi” and score a sticker.
