Remington RF-05 Hunting Boots

Need a pair of hunting boots? Take a look at this review of the Remington RF-05 hunting boots. These Remington boots are an all-purpose 8″ leather hunting boot. The RF-05 has a Max-Dri waterproof liner, making these boots a good choice in all weather conditions.
Radians, who manufactures these boots under license, sent me a pair of these boots for review. When I first pulled this pair of boots out of the box, I was immediately impressed by the look and style of them. The leather has a rich brown color, and a pleasant feel.
Magpul AFG
Posted by: | Comments
The Firearm Blog posted an introduction to the Magpul AFG. The AFG, or Angled ForeGrip, is a new concept for hanging onto your AR-platform gun. It is an interesting idea, but like anything designed to hang off an AR, I’ll reserve judgment until I get a chance to shoot one.
Definitely check out The Firearm Blog for more information.

DeWalt DPGA-3AAA LED Flashlight Review
Posted by: | Comments
The DeWalt DPGA-3AAA LED flashlight is one of a series of DeWalt flashlights I have reviewed this year. Fitting neatly between the sizes of the DPGA-3D full size flashlight and the pocket-sized DPGA-1AAT, the 3AAA has a number of features to make it a good choice for navigation lighting, work lighting, or even as a tactical light in a pinch. I found the light to be very solid, and it worked without any problems throughout the past six months I have been using it.
General Features
Like the other DeWalt flashlights, the 3AAA uses a CREE XLamp LED. The 3AAA is rated at 80 lumens (total light output). Like other LED flashlights, the 3AAA’s light is a much whiter light than regular incandescent bulbs, which tend to be yellow. The center beam is well focused, providing a good spot across a room. The flashlight also throws a good amount of less intense light around the center focus.
