I had the privledge of speaking with Peter Palma of top shot fame on the phone for over a hour about his kickstarter project, which I really think is a novel Idea. More importantaly, I want one. I reached out to him over this and he called me right after work. what a awesome guy!

check this article out from RECOIL

he also has a video about it on the kickstarter page, but you shoud watch this one too. Mainly because you are thinking" it looks like a mag and i don't want to put it in my gun"

Anyway, I love the idea and I hope he makes his goal in time

If you make a contribution, remember if he makes the goal, you get the product at a discount....mainly because you just pre-ordered it!

The kickstarter will get updated with the progress on production so that the people who gave them money know what's happening. If you're curious, that's probably the best place to check for info.

A heavy cloth bag, a size that would fit a mag pouch, would do a better job of holding the cleaning supplies.

Another solution looking for a problem. There are a bunch of ways to pack cleaning kit, I see nothing useful about making it look like mag.

But I'm sure there will be a lot of Zombie hunters looking to complete their ensemble.

you guys may not care or may think the idea is bogus, but they are beginning to ship now. review to follow.

It made it on monday, I like it so far. It also seems to handle below zero and a Ford well

I left it outside overnight before I ran it over with my truck and a f450

Apparently your gun cleaning needs are very different from mine.

it depends on how you are intreprting the picture I guess. you got a better way to test the polymer than -0 temps and a crush test? hammer will break it.

Also, clearly you never seen anyone run over a glock or a magpul magazine either :lol:

You know I just take better care of my stuff, I've yet to run over a mag, gun or a cleaning rod in the 40 years I've been shooting.

Again I'm sure the Ninja's are thrilled, but I''ll repeat dumb, just dumb.

I guess that's kind of what I mean. Surviving 0° temps and being run over by trucks are not criteria that any of my cleaning gear needs to meet. I mostly just need for it to clean stuff.

Seems like we use our cleaning kits for the same stuff as it appears

But it seems the point was lost here. the product is designed to be able to handle abuse. so I verified that claim, to the benifit of the creators.

I get that part, I just don't see what value the toughness adds to a cleaning kit.

they were designed for soldiers in mind, not as much civillians so they had all they wanted in a kit, plus hard cleaning rods. from the kickstarter page:

This uniquely designed case solves a major equipment problem our soldiers and Marines have encountered over the past decade - a place to store vital and potentially life saving items used to maintain their rifle. Before they were able to store in their standard buttstock. Now that their equipment has changed, that storage is becoming less of an option.

This case will fit into any pouch/carrier/bag/pocket which fits a soldier's standard magazine.

I dont own it to cause anyone joy but me. I don't know how much more joy i will get out of this from any other cleaning kit, but IMO, it beats OTIS as far as my needs. They will be doing a double thickness kit this spring, and I will be getting a couple for small first aid kits
