Again we want to thank contest sponsor Bearse USA for their kind donation.

Standby for future contest announcements.

We’ve been hinting at running a contest for a while now and have finally gotten to the point where we can manage it.

First I want to give a big thanks to the great folks at Bearse USA. Bearse has been kind enough to donate a Blackwater Gear Discrete rifle case in Ranger Green to give to the winner of our first giveaway contest.

Entering is simple and you have the opportunity to gain multiple entries into the drawing.

Here is how you do it:

1. First entry is to register at the custom gear report. Just click the register link here or in the login box in the top right  of the page. You must also confirm your registration though the automatic email that is sent to you.
2. Next, sign up for our free newsletter. By default this box is checked during your registration so all you need to do is leave it checked at which point you will just have to confirm your email by clinking the link in the separate newsletter message that’s sent to you.
3. Be one of the top 5 points earners for the site.  Of course you need to know how to earn points, that’s pretty easy. You get 10 for registering, 2 points for logging in daily (24 hour period), 5 points per comment and if you choose to write an article for the site 20 points per published post. In order for you to gain points for commenting you must be registered and logged in.

The top 5 points earners will also receive an additional small token of our appreciation for your support of the blog. This will be a monthly prize, the only down side is your points reset to 10 when you win. You will have the option of keeping your points in lieu of the prize if you choose.

The Contest will run until March 1, 2010 at which time we will complie the list into a spread sheet and use a random number generator to pick the winner.

The Custom Gear Report has has a bit of a tune-up. Although you probably haven’t noticed much on the outside, we’ve been doing a hell of a lot of work on the inside.

So don’t fret there’s lots going on with CGR.

For those of you that read the DIY Tactical Forums regularly, you may have already heard that long time member Adam Stevens AKA Smamitman has passed away after his battle with lung cancer.

Following his service in the IDF, Adam opened a custom gear business in Israel which he and his family ran for many years making both civilian and military equipment. He’s well known within the community and he will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Rest in peace Adam.

This guy is pretty entertaining to watch. I may be biased though being from the Northeast.
