Fellas,
I went in to SORD Australia earlier this week to develop a small line of items for our community and the greater war on terror, to fill some gaps where short falls were identified.
First up we went through a rapid prototype, concept development and refinement phase for each item in the Sniper / Long range community related line.
In the short 5 hour block; we designed, built MK1 concept prototype, modified that then created MK2 prototypes for each item and have now progressed them to a point where they are ready for early production and will be available to the retail and Government market.
The new items currently include but are not limited to:
<span style="font-weight: bold">Kestrel 4500NV foam padded protective pouch</span>. The pouch is designed to protect the fragile screen and butons of the Kestrel weather stations. 3mm foam padding around the front 180 degrees of the unit with a single velcro lid flap allow quick access, streamlined design to avoid being caught up with buckles and clips. The pouch is a single column wide so you can put it almost anywhere. The pouch covers the vast majority of the unit allowing adequote finger purchase when grabbing and removing the unit. For what it is, you need to look after the Kestrel. This pouch will also hold the Garmin Etrex and Garmin GPSMAP 60 series units with their external antennas. 1000 Denier construction, all milspec fittings and materials exported from the USA.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Swarovski LRF foam padded protective pouch</span>. This pouch is designed to protect your LRF unit with 5mm foam padding and a single layer plastic sheet that adds rigidity and integrity to the pouch. When you consider how much these items cost, it's worth the added benefits of the foam amour. As with the Kestrel pouch, single foam flap lid to avoid excess bulk and hanging up on buckles. There is NO drainage grommet in the base of the pouch to help minimise crud and debris entering the pouch and to help protect the lenses. This was designed for the Swarovski Laser Guide 8x30 LRF unit with the factory foam padded sling however will of course fit any similar (same or smaller) sized units. The pouch is 3 columns wide so no bigger than a normal accessories pouch. 1000 Denier construction, all milspec fittings and materials exported from the USA.
POUCH INTERNAL DIMENSIONS:
Width: 112mm
Height: 150mm
Depth: 45mm square - will form fit due to foam with no issue.
Swarovski 8x30 Laser Guide LRF DIMENSIONS:
Width: 110mm
Height: 122mm
Thickness: 49mm

<span style="font-weight: bold">AICS 5RND x 2 Magazine Pouch</span>. Pretty self explanitory, will hold two SHORT ACTION magazines in a single bucket design pouch. Lined pouch with a single velcro flap to minimise on bulk. 50mm velcro provides solid grasp of the lid. Minimum fuss, two columns wide. Yes, 10 round magazine pouches are in the works. 1000 Denier construction, all milspec fittings and materials exported from the USA.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Watch this space, there are other items to follow.</span>
Word is that first up all items will be in MultiCam fabric with the prospects of being done in SBC and ATACS.
I'm only posting these here because it's to benefit our community. I'm not receiving any sort of payment for this work, just the satisfaction of knowing they're going to be out and about with our fellow trigger pullers.
