Its modular design allows it to be used with nearly any weapon platform on the market through a variety of weapon attachment stubs. It enables the operator unlimited freedom of movement while ensuring a high level of retention. It can be deployed in a variety of carry positions including behind the back. This enables the operator to go completely hands free without sacrificing retention. It excels in applications Wed, 10 Oct 2007 12:23:21 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=89 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=69 The United States Postal Service has increased their Priority Mail shipping rates effective May 14th, 2007. Packages under 1lb. have jumped $0.55 from $4.05 to $4.60. However, we will continue to offer free shipping on all orders whose total exceeds $50.00USD. Orders totaling less than $50.00USD will incur actual shipping rates as dictated by the USPS rate fold.

Our second generation product line incorporates a different brand of hardware, specifically the GhillieTex(tm) line from ITW Nexus. This change in hardware renders GEN I and GEN II products incompatible. GEN I product requires GEN I weapon attachment stubs and likewise, GEN II product requires GEN II weapon attachement stubs. We will continue to support our GEN I customers who may require additional weapon attachment stubs down the road. However, once all GEN I slings are sold out they will be discontinued and superceded by GEN II Sat, 24 Mar 2007 12:03:49 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=67 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=61 We spent the last several months redesigning Gear Sector(tm) to better suit your needs. New features are always nice and we have added a few ( more on that shortly ). However, this time around one of our primary goals was to simplify the shopping experience. To this end, we reorganized the navigation elements to bring the product navigation into focus. We split up the checkout process into smaller more managable chunks, ala Step 1 of 5. Managing alternate shipping addresses has been steamlined in the process which was requested on numerous occassions. We also redid the entire product Sun, 21 Jan 2007 05:50:17 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=61 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=60 First check the perimeter of the castle nut where it mates the receiver end plate to ensure it wasn't staked at the factory. If it has been staked, you will see an indentation where the plate meets the castle nut from the impact of a punch. If staked, you will need to apply quite a bit of pressure to break the stake ( possibly a more stout spanner / armorers wrench as well ). If loc-tite has been applied to the threads on the receiver extension ( buffer tube ) heat will soften it enough to allow you to break it free. Either a heat gun or hair dryer will do the trick.

The auxiliary stub is used when you have a slotted sling loop. The H&K snap hook stub is used when you have a donut type sling loop. The stock stub is used when no sling loops are available on your weapon and you have a tapered solid stock ( ala AK47, Shotgun etc...

The single point sling was designed to attach at a location near the receiver of your weapon. Near receiver mounting solutions come in a many flavors for a variety of weapon platforms. Some require gunsmith weapon modification while others are a simple bolt on solution. The single point sling is most often used on the M16 / AR15 weapon platform, so let's begin there. The ideal solution for a carbine equipped with a collapsible stock is going to be a single point receiver end plate.

Ask yourself what will I use the sling for and in what environment? If you are looking for a tactical sling used primarily in a CQB environment than there is a good chance the single point sling is right for you. If weapon retention, cross shoulder transition, and high speed transition from rifle to sidearm are a top priority, the single point sling is your answer. However, if the primary purpose of your sling will be for carrying your weapon hands free over an extended duration, you would be better served Thu, 07 Dec 2006 11:14:53 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=57 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=55 We are proud to announce the latest addition to the Gear Sector(tm) product line --- the ASP-V(tm) Loop-less Sling. The ASP-V(tm) is the first and only fully adjustable rig mounted single point sling that requires no torso loop. It is a specialized unit that mounts directly to an LBV / Plate Carrier. It allows the weapon to hang at a height much higher than previously thought possible and can be deployed lighting fast to be shouldered either strong or weak side. The ASP-V(tm) builds on the modularity of our extremely popular ASP(tm) Traditional Sling and allows several different Wed, 28 Jun 2006 11:24:12 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=55 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=54 I had several requests recently for a custom weapon attachment stub specifically for the PS90 weapon platform. I am pleased to say that I finished the prototype unit just moments ago. First thing in the morning it will be shipped to my manufacturer where I will have a short run of T&E units assembled. I am hoping to have them back in hand early next week. Just as soon as they arrive, I will get them sent out to my PS90 T&E group for function testing. If all goes well I should have them in production shortly there after. I know many of you have expressed interest in this unit and are Tue, 27 Jun 2006 12:11:18 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=54 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=53 After an extended hiatus, our product review system is back online.

It was recently brought to our attention that a fellow company in the industry had trademarked the use of the letter sequence TAG for branding purposes. It was suggested that we change our name, and that's exactly what we are in the process of doing. Things may look a little different but we are still the same company providing the same quality parts and serving them with the same level of customer service that you have come to love and expect.

Thu, 18 May 2006 04:12:36 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=25 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=24 I wrote an article and companion comment system quite some time ago. Some of you may remember it from the previous version of our website. However, after rolling out the new website I simply couldn't find the time to port the article / comment system over. That has been rectified as of this news post. The purpose behind the comment system was to provide a direct line of communication between customer and manufacturer. The comment system provides a method for the customer to leave feedback, ask questions, leave product reviews and more. We encourage feedback, however, when using the Thu, 11 May 2006 12:14:59 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=24 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=23 I just finished adding support for multiple product images to our home rolled shopping cart software. Each product can now have up to 8 product images along with high resolution enlargements and captions. Now I just have to go back and add additional images to each product. In the meantime you can try it out on the one product that has additional images already added here. Use the number buttons to cycle through the available thumbnail images and click the actual thumbnail itself to launch the high resolution version of that image complete with Sat, 22 Apr 2006 03:51:43 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=23 http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=22 A few months back we started receiving requests for a custom run of the ASP(tm) sling in Arctic White. Not wanting to dedicate crucial capital to a product that may or may not sell, we decided to post a thread on ar15.com to determine how many indidivuals would be interested in this new color. Having determined a sample market, we proceeded with the run which is now available. However, it should be noted that this is a limited run and not a standard stocking item. If you are even remotely interested in an Arctic White ASP(tm) sling, I strongly suggest you pick one up at your earliest Tue, 21 Mar 2006 12:52:50 EST http://www.gearsector.com/?page=article/read&id=22
