Third NFM group buy! CANCELED

After a long wait and tons of emails ;-) I finally got arround to organise a third NFM groupbuy.

So, if you are looking for some additional pouches or a high quality chestrig in ABL camo, just send an email to "contact.front.blog(at)gmail.com" with your order or further details.

Unfortunatly, the NFM website has shrunken down on information concenring their full range of products. So if you're looking for someting and can not find it on the site, please let me know.
For example, the Heidrun chestrig is still available with the full range of pouches.

This groupbuy will close half december 2014.

UPDATE!

Due to a decision from NFM, they will no longer provide the ability to order custom items in small amounts through there distributors. The reason for this decision lies in the fact that NFM claims to have found copies of their products through non official channels.

Therefore the third groupbuy from contact-front will be canceled. The persons who already transferred money will be fully refunded.
I apologize for the inconvenience.

New product from Morane Tactical

Everybody knows how difficult it is to obtain an ABL UBACS these days. Sometimes they pop up online on a second hand site but apart from that .... If you're lucky you are in the military, you'll get a couple when going in OPS depending what part of the world of course ;-)

Morane Consult was aware of this problem and started to develop his own UBACS. Generally the model of an UBACS is quite common and the difference is really in the details like what kind of fabric is used, etc.

Morane really did his research to bring you an UBACS with all state of the art material and design at an affordable price.
 
Get one while they last!

NFM group buy part 2

Due to the success of our previous group buy, I got a lot of emails, from persons who missed out, asking if it was still possible to order. Also the new owners of the Heidrun chestrig were looking to buy some add on pouches.

Well, the second group buy is in progress!

If you are interested in ABL woodland gear from NFM, just send an email to "contact.front.blog(at)gmail.com" for further details.

I will close the order half November.

Testing Froglube part 1



Just a few days before the annual weapons inspection I took the liberty to give my issued carbine, a FN FNC M3, a final cleaning session and thought it was a good time to do this using Froglube. I know there are a bunch of reviews out there on the net so I’m not going to repeat everything that has been said at least a hundred times. I’m just going to write down my personal experience with this so called “revolutionary” product.

The first thing you’ll notice when opening the product is the green looking substance and a nice minty smell. The smell is also comparable with the reflex sprays  found at the local pharmacist.  I also had the Froglube “solvent” with me to try out. The solvent, which comes in a spray,  is a completely different product compared to the green Froglube products, being color- and odorless. It almost acts and looks like water.

So I started off with my first test of Froglube. I have to be honest, I’m not a freak when it comes down to super cleaning my weapons. Even the most experienced weapons cleaner will always come to the conclusion that even when his or her weapon is perfectly cleaned, after a week or so, he or she will still  find traces of dirt and carbon released after the gun has sweat for a while.


For the first step of the product application instructions, “preparing your weapon”, it is advised to get rid of all oil based clp’s (Cleaning, Lubricating, (rust)Prevention) using the Froglube solvent. I sprayed a generous amount of solvent especially in the places where normally the grease would be applied. The solvent does what it is supposed to do. After wiping it clean I was left over with a “dry” weapon. Then I started to warm some of the pieces like the bolt, boltholder, gas piston, … with a hairdryer. Froglube is best applied when the metal of the gunparts are handwarm. Apparently the microscopic pores in metal become larger when warm thus giving the Froglube more adherents to the metal. After applying the Froglube I wiped of the excess with a microfiber cloth and I can assure you there was still quite a lot of dirt/carbon that came off.

For cleaning and protecting your weapon you can both use the paste and liquid version. The paste is ideal for applying on bigger surfaces and the liquid is good for all the little crannies but also for lubricating the moving parts en slides. After applying the green CLP, all the metal parts are silky to the touch. It’s like a smooth protection layer but without a greasy film. I even used Froglube on the plastic pistol grip and handguards giving a nice satin finish.  


My first impression of Froglube is very good. It applies very efficiently and really cleans your weapon parts without leaving a greasy mess. As it is an all natural, non-toxic, environmental friendly product you don’t need any gloves to protect your hands whilst cleaning, compared to all other oil based CLP and chemical degreasers. Froglube even claims you could eat their products … But that’s for next time.

Lets hope the inspection goes smooth ;-)

Custom made IR patches

If you are in need of some custom made IR patches, just send us a mail.


Fitting the Heidrun.

I've received a lot of questions concerning the fitting of the Heidrun.
When receiving the chestrig, the belt and rig itself are separated. When connecting the belt to the rig and dryfitting the complete setup, it seems that the two shoulder straps want to slip of the shoulders. To resolve this problem, you have to weave the adjusting straps into the belt itself. See photo.

Announcing Froglube!


Contact-Front is pleased to announce "Froglube".


Froglube is a revolutionary bio-based product that is designed to Clean, Lubricate and Protect (CLP) your guns and more. FrogLube was founded by CPT Larry Lasky, a US Navy Seal (ret), and claims that his product will change the way we take care of our weapons.

It’s almost a 100% natural product  so you can use and apply it with your bare hands. It even comes with a minty smell J. So no more gloves and headache provoking smells.

Froglube CLP is available in a paste and liquid which facilitates the application to your weapon with a brush and/or microfiber cloth. Froglube also has some extra products like a solvent to remove all petroleum based CLP’s and prepare it for the application of Froglube.



After some cleaning sessions of Froglube (detailed guide is on the website) you should notice that your gun will run smoother and cleaning the damn thing will just be a walk in the park. When cleaning, use some liquid CLP on a microfiber cloth, and you’ll notice that the built up carbon will just melt away.

I have to be honest, I still have to test Froglube, but the loads of reviews on the net are a witness that Froglube does what it says. Nevertheless I'll keep you posted.
