The quickclot combat gauze is good stuff. It doesn't heat up like the granules did, and doesn't burn the crap out of your nose when the wind shifts and you get a whiff as you're pouring it into a wound, OUCH!! The granules were frowned upon, because medical would have to cut out, and flush them out of the wound before a more suitable means of medicine could be used. The gauze can just be flushed with saline to be removed from the wound site. Which is fine, because that is going to happen anyways once brought in from the field since field medicine isn't always the most sterile. A lot of doctors just have a bad taste in their mouth from the old quickclot, so when their hear that word, they cringe.
Anywho....yesterday I bought some spare parts for my AR. You can never have too many of those laying around! I probably have enough to build at least 2 more lowers, minus the actual receiver, and enough upper things to build another upper, minus receiver and barrel. Always good to have at least a spare bolt, firing pin, firing pin retainer, roll cam, spring kit, charging handle, etc... Rock River has a nice little "Oh shoot kit" that has a lot of springs and such in it for around $15.
