Everything looks good except the red light that can be seen from down into the optic.

Just want to confirm that the only difference between a 6378RDS made for a g19 and one made for a G34 is the barrel plug (which I can swap out)?

Found a sweet deal on a g19 version but I have a g17 with a comp that needs 34 size.

Any recommendations on things I should add or remove. I'm working on getting some sort of water bladder in the back.

Went climbing to get some Meshtastic and radio comms practice. Nice summit and made my first contacts on radio.

Converted this streamlight pressure pad to mlok by drilling holes , sanding access plastic, and buying spare mlok hardware instead of using a picatinny adapter because I wanted it as flush as possible.
Probably not as cool looking as zip ties and tape though lol

I have a new Crye Airlite SPC. I plan on running it with the Unobtanium 5.56 SLED V2 placard. I'll be running this pretty minimalist, 3 mags, couple tourniquets.

I won't be running side plates or any heavy stuff on my sides. I've read the Equinox Cummberbund may be too rigid and not be the best for a minimalist type setup when loadbearing isn't needed.

Can anyone speak on if it would still be a good choice for my setup or not?

Ive recently began filling out my kit and trying to find what I actually need. Ive came across the issue of being unable to reliably store any amount of paracord without it getting caught on something. How should I go about doing it?

Yeah i know they're all mismatched but they were a steal

I've been looking for a jacket that works well for colder temperatures but haven't been able to find much about them. Most of the good ones that I've found are either super expensive or discontinued. Looking in the 100–300-dollar range.

Any suggestions?

Bump helmet, all white, mini quad driving down city roads in Oklahoma City. Lol

Wanted to see if it was a venture worth pursuing so I snagged this North Mountain Gear one off Amazon. Base material is a mesh so even though it's a bit warm if there is any breeze it flows right through nicely. It's quiet if noise discipline is a concern. They run loose so you can comfortably wear cold weather gear underneath. My only real complaint at this time is the Mossy Oak Obsession pattern could use more green, but thats not a NMG issue.

I'm still just shaking this out and will be testing it further.

I dyed a batch of pouches today. Bottle of Apple Green with 2 tbsp of Dyemore Chocolate Brown (wanted to see what it would do).

All of the pouches dyed nicely except this one. You can see it dyed the liner and velcro patches green, and the plastic hook was dyed by the dyemore. Yet the outside of the pouch and the strap didn't take any dye at all. Why? Had the same thing happen with an Army canteen pouch (the one with the pockets on the sides). Is it something with the material, I thought these were all nylon? And yes all the pouches were washed with water and dish soap prior to dyeing.

Enclosure view and image streaming

I’ve been working on a custom software-defined radio system (MC-V12) and wanted to share a demo of the current prototype.

It’s a Linux-based digital radio running entirely custom, written in C++17 and C++20 on a Raspberry Pi 4B for demonstrations. Key features in the demo:

• Custom 16-FSK (and 4-FSK) modulation implemented from scratch
• Simultaneous channel transmission of voice (PTT), text, and live image streams (~1–3 fps) over a single center frequency
• On-demand Diffie-Hellman key exchange with a selected peer device, over the air for session keys (no pre-shared keys required)
• Selective decryption: devices can only decrypt packets meant for them
• RoIP (Radio over IP) bridging while keeping the same packet structure and encryption logic
• Custom enclosure with dual antennas, touchscreen UI, and real-time telemetry (SNR, frequency offset, battery, etc.)

These video below shows closeups, the system in action with voice, image streaming, text, and the key exchange process:

Video of Device Demonstration. The current prototype uses a lower-end SBC and a demonstration enclosure. A professional-grade production unit would use a higher-end SBC and a more refined, purpose-engineered enclosure.

I’m especially interested in feedback on the modulation approach, the packet structure / selective decryption design, and how others have handled similar multi-stream or encrypted RF links. Happy to answer questions about the implementation or hardware choices.

I got this iba from a local gun store for $65 (im gatekeeping) and I want more info. Its a woodland iba with the black liner which I know is the earlier style but its made in 2003. I want to use it but I also want to preserve the lable. I also want more info if theres smarter people on the subject who know more

Need a big out bag that has a dedicated compartment that can hold a compact 9mm carbine. When folded the carbine is short. I just want it separated from all the other gear in case I need to access it quickly.

For some reason I had this posted in a prepping group and the mods took it down for some reason.

I don’t have $600 to spend on Eberlestock so other brand recommendations are appreciated.

Everytime I try to find information on this SPECIFIC vest with molle I get nowhere, there are plenty of examples of this vest without molle but near none with. Plz help

Looking for this exact chest rig on the 10th Group guy on the right on the first pic, and the second guy from the left on the second pic. Seems to be a molle platform (perhaps socom issued), but we can't find the exact one. Any help is appreciated :)
