new-arguy,
I just called Surefire tech support and they sent me the old cap for free! Great customer support!
DevL,
Yes, the mag carrier is a SOE Patrol subload. Even though it carries 6 mags it not that bulky at all the 2" leg straps really cinch it on tight and it feels really solid with no movement even when running.
The knife is a Becker Knife and Tool Combat Bowie. I was looking for a large survival/combat knife and after reading reviews on the Beckers decided to give it a try. I originally was going to buy it and then step up to a Swamp Rat or Busse knife but it has been a very tough and excellent performer so I still haven't bought the more expensive knives yet. I also really love the Combat Bowies blade geometry too!
It has a 9" blade and has flat sabre grind, the steel it uses is a 0170-6c which is the same as Cold Steel's Carbon V! Camillus which makes the Beckers is the OEM for Cold Steel so that's why they are able to offer these knives at such ridiculous low prices. BTW, street price for these knives is about $60, but it performs very close to the $300 knives in it's class!
