tburkes Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi guys, TerryH was over at my house a few nights ago picking up a few things and having me do a modification to a piece of kit Matt had bought several years ago from me. In the discussion Terry mentioned this site as one of the better sites in the UK to talk about shooting, since the trouble makers are weeded out quickly, and to promote our gear on your side of the pond. I own TAB GEAR LLC. we make lots of nylon products which can be seen at our store at tabgear.com We've been in business for about five and a half years. In addition to our product line you see on our site we've done lots of custom sewing and we also do some OEM sewing for Phoenix Tactical, Barrett Firearms, and Borka Tools, the new torque wrench that I think will dominate the shooting scene around the world. Terry has one for you Matt. He has his own, so make sure he gives yours to you. We have sold our products all over Europe and Graeme Clarke is one of our dealers in the UK. I have several rifles and pistols and have done a bit of tactical match shooting here in Texas, so I have a little experience I may be able to add to the mix here, in addition to maybe making some suggestions about tips and tricks I've seen here over the years. If anyone has any questions about me or any of the gear we make I'll be happy to answer you as quickly as I can. We also love to hear suggestions and ideas from our customers on how to improve our products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brown dog Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Tony, Just tried trawling through my pics to find something showing both a TAB bespoke suppressor cover and roll-up shooting mat in use in the same pic - only managed to find this one - and the mat is rolled on my knee ! Delighted to have you here. ATB Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Greetings Tony, and welcome to this side of the Pond. Having seen your "It's all in the eye's pose" at the Shot Show, I'd be very careful of what you call "Nylon Products" round here as this bunch's likely to get all sweaty under the collar and jump to some wild conclusions The needlework on the Borka Wrench pouch's is impressive, and will get a thorough test as I try to stuff mindless amounts of shite into it in an attempt to reduce the loose junk in my kit bag. Regards. D. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG RANGE CAPT Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Tony welcome, look forward to reading your future posts. Kind Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tburkes Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Thanks a lot everyone, I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I may be sporadic on my posting. Nice picture Matt. I have to say I've never seen these sitting slings you guys are using where you've got this webbing wrapped around both knees and your back. I've figured out a sitting position that is pretty unorthodox looking but works very well for me. I'll have to post a couple of pictures of it as another idea to throw out there. Ratwhiskers, I'm afraid I don't remember the pic you're talking about, it must be a good one though. Did you and I talk at SHOT? If we did will you be going again next year? We just booked our flight and hotel last week. Please make sure you come by the booth if you make it this year. I appreciate your compliment on the workmanship. Like I told someone, I try to make everything like I was sending it off with a family member into harms way. Sure did Terry, this site is very nice. It looks like SnipersHide when I first joined it several years ago when it was so small everyone was on the same page and just trying to help each other out. By my latest trip, do you mean the Africa trip? I'll be happy to post some pictures and make a few comments as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orka Akinse Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Welcome to the site. You don't manufacture roll mats do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tburkes Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm glad you're liking the sling David. Orka, you mean something like this? Edited to add: These are pictures of the first mat I made. we now have a double row of stitching around the edge tape on the edge of the mat and the stake pouch.

Patriot741 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Welcome to the site Tony, I've got your Biathlon sling, roll up mat and supressor cover, all courtesy of Lisa at Rifles Only, and I'm very impressed with the quality of your work. When are you bringing something new out ? I'm sure I'll need it ! Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds1 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi Derek I rekon the rifle cover made by Tony the one Terry had at the comp was excellent. A PM to Tony about them is on my to do list. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 That mat is sweet for ops, nice and comapct, had I not just purchased a AIM mat which is much bigger I would be on the blower ordering one. . I also like the look of the pack you have pictured, is this one of your products? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Tony. I didn't take a pic of the pose you threw, I was too busy laughing As to the S/Show, I got the green light from the Ratwife only yesterday so it looks like you'll be seeing Mike and myself at the booth. Keep up the work with the good kit. Will be seeing you. D. .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tburkes Posted October 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Patriot, ha, it looks like you're a walking advertisement for TAB GEAR. we're working on a few new things that hopefully will come out soon. The website is being rebuilt now and should be on line any time now. Have you used one of our rear bags? They're very popular and we are selling lots of them every month. Scotch-egg, I'm not making packs at this point. The pack in the picture is made by Spec-Ops and is called a T.H.E. Pack. It's a simple, well made, reasonably priced pack that I've had for years. Hey Rat, by Mike would you be talking about Mike Norris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot741 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Tony, You've just reminded me, I've got your rear bag too ! Does this make me your best UK customer ? You can blame Terry for me getting the Biathlon sling after I tried the one you made for him when we shot the CZ competition last year. Derek.
