HK91 Locking Piece for Sound Suppression

In order to use a can on a PTR-91 or other G3/91 clone, apparently it's necessary to use a different locking piece that slows down the bolt carrier with the increased back-pressure.  Rim Country Manufacturing sells a #17, 36° part that fits the bill.  $50 ain't so bad.  They also have US-made trunions, bolt carriers, and bolt heads for MP5- and 53-type actions.

Finex Cast Iron Skillet

Wired had a post regarding the Finex Cast Iron Skillet that's on Kickstarter.  The skillet looks pretty cool.  Incidentally, apparently Siemens VAI has an ironmaking process also called Finex, which is a registered trademark.  It's unclear if there's any relation...seems unlikely.

Made Right Here

Another link from VftP, "Made Right Here". Hmm, he's got the right idea....

The Original Instructor Belt

At the Front Sight Pro Shop they were selling instructor belts, which unfortunately were made in China.  While flipping through a recent Blue Press catalog (the cover model, Mallory, was pretty hot!), they listed a belt from The Wilderness.  I looked it up to see where it was made and indeed it's made in the USA!  Hallelujah!  It's actually cheaper to order it from Dillon than from the manufacturer's site, at least for the black 1.75" 5-stitch belt.  Plus, that way I'll receive 6 months of girls with guns on the cover of the Blue Press, which is definitely a factor!

The Sonoran shirts by The Wilderness are also made in the USA.  They're a bit spendy, though.  The Ching Sling looks interesting.
