Cutting away the top layer of black ceracoat makes the helmet stand out boldly.
5/64th’s hidden Allen fits all the screws on the buckle, and fits most Taylor Freelance basepad screws — also works as a field-expedient Glock armorer’s tool.
Over the last few months, we’ve been experimenting with belt buckles.
We’ve learned a lot, and will be rolling out a couple of options as time allows.
Here’s our first offering, done conjointly with Spartan Arms (a local gun store). Not only is it something of a tribute to wounded warriors everywhere, it’s handy. Hidden inside the buckle is a 5/64’s Allen wrench — exactly the size you need for most Taylor Freelance basepads.
We’ve milled this out of aluminum bar stock, then ceracoated it black before cutting a thin slice of aluminum off the “face” — leaving the helmet standing out with a near-mirror shine.
