Odds 'n Sods:
Nick at BulletProoofME.com will be running a SurvivalBlog-only special from
Dec.15th through Dec. 22nd. The 30%-off special is for the
mil-spec Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest. The similar sale that
they ran last year for SurvivalBlog readers had an exceedingly large response.
This special pricing is only available because of a military contract overrun.
Note
that
they are running low on inventory this time around. (e.g., no size Medium
on sale
this time.) All items will be first come, first served.

Reader T.H.Y. wrote to ask me: "Why do you bother putting flash hiders
on your bolt actions? It's a big expense for not much practical gain." JWR
begs to differ. This
YouTube video clearly shows the difference on a .308--both with and without a flash
hider.
