[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The Arms Room (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 2/11/2014 4:02:37 PM EDT

Independence Training is now the official host of The Arms Room internet radio show!

We have been guests on The Arms Room program in the past, and now we will be taking over the show and putting out some awesome new content. We're proud to have been chosen by Vets On Media to carry on the torch held so high by the former hosts (and our friends) KT and Dano.

What can you expect? Spotlights of new equipment from the shooting industry, live discussions of training concepts and techniques with our listeners and social media followers, on-the-air gear demonstrations, special guests, giveaways, and more!

Program Time: Every Monday, 10am - 11am
Where to Listen: Live on the Website or Later on the YouTube Channel.

Be sure to stop by the The Arms Room Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Arms-Room/664027933627422) and give it a 'Like' to stay updated on new content and coverage of the shooting and training communities.

Are you involved in the shooting, training, law-enforcement, or military communities? If you're interested in becoming a Show Sponsor, a Guest, or having us Demo your Equipment on The Arms Room, let me know!

I look forward to hearing the AZ HTF's comments on the show. And if you have some content or topics that you'd like covered, post 'em up right here - we're building our program right now!

so how durable are the wilderness tactical belts you showed there? I blow through a belt just about every three months from hard work and carrying pretty much all the time.

Posted: 3/26/2014 1:00:18 PM EDT

[#28]

My current one is 2 years old...daily wear and carry.Other than scratch on the buckle it looks dam near new. The one before that was retired after about 3 years...not because it wore out, i just lost a shit ton of weight and it no longer fit

Posted: 3/26/2014 1:01:20 PM EDT

[#29]

Wilderness tactical belts are GTG. I have 4 of them, 2 are 8-9 years old and show little to any wear. Go by the store and take a look if you're in the area. If the don't have what you want already made up they'll make it in just a few minutes while you wait.

Today's show is in the OP: Guest: Guy from Fathom Arms on how to select an AR-15 upper and why/why not a .300 AAC Blackout

Posted: 6/23/2014 8:29:12 PM EDT

[#48]

Said a few things on the show that I figured I would clarify.

1. Galling... 4140 has more risk of thermal erosion when compared to 4150V. Not galling... Drew a blank on the show.

2. I said Vandium not Vanadium. Not a big deal, but figured I would correct it.

A little different talking live when you have so much to get through in so little time! Feel like I could talk about this stuff for hours. It is definitely harder to recall information when your live. Its like public speaking. Glen is very comfortable on the show and my hat is off to him!

Thanks again Glen! I had a great time on the show!
