DeWalt 3D LED Flashlight Review
Posted by: | CommentsThe DeWalt 3D flashlight is the largest flashlight in DeWalt’s recently introduced line-up of LED lights. The DeWalt line of LED flashlights are heavy duty aluminum torches designed for outdoor, construction, and industrial use.
I found this flashlight is rugged, inexpensive, and bright, and that works as advertised. While I have no doubt it makes an excellent construction light, I found it did very well in a law enforcement and home defense capacity.
The DeWalt 3D is bright. Using common D-cell batteries, the DeWalt flashlight throws a bright 131 lumens. And since D-cell batteries are both inexpensive and available at virtually any store, you should alway be able to keep this light running without hurting the wallet. Also, D-cell batteries are normally stored by people for emergency preparedness situations, so it may share a common power source with other items such as radios in your preparedness gear. Read More→
Wilson Combat Carbon Removal Tool CRT-15
Posted by: | CommentsFrom Wilson Combat, the Carbon Removal Tool for the AR-15:
Never before has the soldier, enthusiast, gunsmith, or armorer had access to a single tool that can remove the carbon from both the bolt tail and bolt carrier with such ease and precision. New for 2009, the CRT-15 (Carbon Removal Tool for AR-15, M-16, and M-4 type bolts and bolt carriers) will be available in March of 2009.
This revolutionary tool eclipses the function of the “scraper style” tools currently in the industry by not only improving on their ability to remove carbon buildup in the bolt carrier, but surpassing them by adding the feature of quickly and accurately removing carbon buildup from the tail of the bolt.
No longer must the soldier, enthusiast, gunsmith, or armorer toil with solvent and a wire brush to adequately clean the tail of the bolt. Only the CRT-15 can remove carbon properly from any bolt tail radius, (bolt tail dimensions vary between manufacturers)!
The CRT-15 is the must have cleaning tool that should be in every cleaning kit of an AR-15, M-16, and M-4 owner/operator.
Features
- Reamer-style end removes carbon from bolt carrier of the M-16 family
- Lathe-style end removes carbon from the bolt tail of the M-16 family

- 100% Made in the USA
- Easy to use
- Ensures proper bolt operation
- Save time with a tool specifically designed to remove carbon from problem areas of M-16 family bolts and bolt carriers
- Compact, lightweight, and field ready
- Fewer tools to carry/transport
MSRP is $49.99.

Tango Down ARC-L AR-15 Magazine
Posted by: | CommentsIn March, Tango Down introduced a new polymer AR-15 magazine called the ARC-L. Tango Down took a different approach to the AR-15 magazine, and designed something new
that is worth looking at.
Tango Down developed the ARC-L magazine by going back to the drawing board and taking a hard look at ammunition feeding in the AR-15 platform. Tango Down started with the understanding that 30-round magazines in the AR-15 are curved, yet the magazine well in the AR-15 is straight. Read More→
