Custom Gear Report

762Tactical is a custom gear company started in 2002 and went full time on 2006. The foundation of the company was built around the need for gear to use with weapon systems other than the M16/M4 series of weapons.

Colin, the owner of 762tTactical, identified the gap for weapons such as AK’s, FAL’s, G3′s, M14′s and more recently SR25/M110 SASS’s. While some of these weapons have pretty much been in continuous use in more specialized units, we have seen a resurgence even in conventional line units especially the M14 and the new M110 and to a certain extent the AK which has been widely used by civilian contractors. Of course there is always the civilian market where larger caliber semi-auto rifles have remained popular. To further cater to the civilian market 762 can also build solutions for M1 Garands, m1 carbines, 3030 Winchesters and other sporting rifles.

762′s product offerings are not limited to this however, they also make an assortment of other conventional load carrying rigs of which we have included some photos.

762Tactical’s customers range from Army and USMC snipers, SF, Civilian Contractors, 3 gun competitors, your average prepared citizen and everyone in between.

They currently have a showcase website www.762tactical.com but will be launching their online store and improved website in the next month or so. We’ll be sure to post an update when they go live. in the mean time you can contact them through the email address on their site.

Just your typical range video but the intro makes it. My new favorite song.

You can get the song here: Shoot the Zombies Song

Ok these came in last week so some of you have already gotten you hands on them. But as we discussed here and here we have our first of several morale patch designs in the shop. Quality is excellent and they come with a pre-sewn hook backing so it is ready to stick wherever you want it.

What we need now are pics of it on your gear. When you get a chance snap a photo for us and send it on in.

On the T-shirt front we are pleased with the response so far in the DIY Tactical/CGR Zazzle Store we set up. We have several Skull and Needles Shirt designs up also have a mouse pad and coffee mug up there too.

We want to introduce the first in a new series of shirts we’re working on. As a proponent of being prepared for the coming Zombie Apocalypse we are proud to announce Zombie Response Team gear.

The first Zombie Response Team shirt has is inspired by a line from a recently popular movie. Back of the shirt has a nice graphic and the phrase “You got a purty mouth” a nice way to show a little love right before you bash the suckers head in.

Front of the shirt has a logo we’ve come up with to represent the organization. Is containst the biohazard symbol on top of which is a face wearing a helmet and pro-mask, around this is a triangle made from three of the most often used Zombie eradication tools, a shotgun, a machete and the always popular baseball bat. This bat has been modified with some nails to give it a little extra pop. Finnaly the initials ZRT which of course is self explanatory.

Anyway, leave a comment, let us know what you think if you pick up any shirts or gear please send us some pics of it in action.

For those into firearms supressors, according to and article just released on the AAC blog they have been purchased by Remington.

While Remington purchased AAC’s assets and intellectual property, initial
indications are that they have no intention of replacing AAC’s executive
staff with one of their own and that they are instead intent on expanding on
AAC’s current footprint. AAC will report to Remington’s Military Products
Division, but the leadership at AAC, including former owner Kevin
Brittingham, will remain in place and continue to function as they have in
the past.

Noted in the press release is that Remington recognizes that small arms signature reduction is going to be an element in military firearms procurement for the foreseeable future.

We’re looking at starting an article series based on customizations done by individuals in the field. Everyone that’s been in the military has at one time or another taken a roll of 100 mph tape and some 550 cord and used it to “fix” a piece of gear or built something to make life easier in the field. Whether it was taping extra padding onto your shoulder straps or more skilled rucksack mods with a sewing machine.

Well we want to see it. It doesn’t matter what it is. It can be related to your gear, taped up boots, a way you build a shelter, cooking ramen on the back of your M1, or some outrageous redneck engineering done on your FOB. Now we understand that there may be some ummm… modifications that you might not want to be associated with, don’t worry just let us know and we won’t mention names if you don’t want us to. We’re all about protecting the guilty.

Now in order for this to work we need your help. Send your pics to hack[at]customgearreport.com, if the response is large enough we will attempt to run regular “Hack of the Month” contests with prizes for the best “customization”.

Let us know what you think in the comments and more importantly send us your pics.

As noted in our previous Morale Patch post we ordered some morale patches and they should be in our hands at the beginning of next week. Here is a quick peek at the proofs we were sent.

On the T-shirt front, we’ve gone ahead and setup with a print on demand service with Zazzle.com They will be printing our t-shirts designs as well as other products from now on. I recently ordered one of the cheaper skull and needle t-shirts from them and was very happy with the quality of the shirt and the graphic, even on the lower priced product. I wanted to do a video to show it off but my video gear isn’t playing well with me right now, Once it’s sorted I’ll get something up.

The only caution I will note is that I ordered an XL which usually fits pretty loose on me and the shirt was snug. So I’d recommend ordering a size larger (maybe two if you are on the edge).

The cool thing is you can customize your shirts however you want as far as color, brand and type of shirt, style, size etc. I’d also encourage you to take a look around their site and other stores, they have some pretty cool stuff.

Another thing to note is they we have no control over your order placed through this service. Actually we don’t even know who orders, we just know that an order was placed. So if you have a problem with a product please follow the customer service instructions outlined on their site. We do ask however if you have problems drop us an email so that we can track the service they are providing and determine whether or not we want to continue doing business with them.

Lastly, I will be transferring over all of DIY Tactical’s T-shirts t this site as well this way we will never have to worry about running out.

Let us know what you think in the comments.
