I bought a Combat Flathead from Dynamis Alliance a couple of years ago when he had a great sale. Yeah I know, $150 bucks for a screwdriver, I get it. I bust my ass at work and wanted it. I wrapped it with thin para and I use it all the time. I wanted a lighter version and he just so happens to have a trainer. A blunt trainer, but I fixed that. Aluminum, lightweight and $50 I think I paid. Fits perfectly in my wallet/notebook thing. Passes through every checkpoint I have gone through. Nice to have something if I need it.

Dyed UCP Massif combat shirt and ABU Air Force pants a nice graphite black/sleek gray color. Figured it would be perfect in a major city.
Grayed of fascism hater.

Im fairly new to shooting. Try to get to the range once a week for the past month or so. When I first started i was strictly shooting with one eye opened. Today i tried to do both eyes open with handgun and iron sights. This was 7-10 yds and this was the result. I must say, I found it difficult to keep both eyes open as it got blurry so some of these shots were with one eye open.

Thought i would ask since im not sure that this was adequate. Also the shot that went high was the vest first shot of the day and the one that went middle left was me switching guns.

Basically if I plug this into my baofeng can I keep it in the pouch and holler into the wind or do I have to holler in the baofeng and only the audio gets transmited?

I do FOF training about once every other month. Had an extra Colt laying around, so I figured I’d clone my work gun to train with. Next training is in a few weeks, excited to break it in.

Added a wing to the PC for a 4th mag and added a double mag pouch on the left hand of cummerbund to toss some water in. Hitting the property this weekend will see how comfortable this is for extended wear

I’m trying to track down a full rlcs deployment kit, I’ve got most of it already but don’t know how many of each item were standard issue

Hi all,

I recently picked up an early-2000s Italian Marina Militare rucksack (roughly 120L, lots of compartments). Overall condition is good, but the internal PU coating has degraded and the whole inside is tacky. It's worst in the pocket under the lid — presumably the most sun- and heat-exposed panel. It doesn't flake, peel or shed, and it's still glossy rather than milky white, so it seems more like the film has gone soft than fully hydrolysed. It leaves no residue on your hands, just makes them slightly sticky.

What I've tried so far:

• Airing it out for several days with all pockets open — no real change
• Mild soap and water — no change to the tackiness
• 90% isopropyl on a microfibre cloth — no change

On the nylon (darker material) sections I can get the coating off with an abrasive sponge and IPA. On the Cordura it's much harder — the weave seems to hold onto it and I can't get it to lift.

I'm not concerned about keeping it waterproof, I'll be using a separate rain cover. I just want the interior usable for carrying camera gear.

Any advice on removing it from heavier Cordura specifically? Or is there a way to restore rather than strip it? Also curious whether anyone has re-coated one of these afterwards, and whether it's worth it.

Thanks!

I was surprised with an Acog from my co-worker/range buddy as an early wedding gift today. I finally got something I had on the imaginary wedding registry in my mind (fiancé has control over the actual one lol)

$700 for the locking mechanism alone? And they throw in a home depot masterlock bike lock??

Anyone do something like this? I don't mind paying a good price for premium but holy cow haha

So my buddy asked me if I wanted to do a tactical rifle and handgun class with him, sounded interesting so I said sure what all do I need? He sent me this picture and said here's what I use and left it at that. Can anyone help me come up with a list so I can try and find the stuff I need? Thanks in advance for any help.
