Welcome back to the Nordic Components Talking Lead Show: TLP 177 Modern Spartans & More Big 3 East Coverage.  This week we announce the return of Modern Spartan Systems to the Talking Lead family of sponsors.   Marcus Kahn, CEO, of Modern Spartan Systems is on with Lefty to talk about the return and what they have been up to and how they have extended their product lines of cleaners and lubricants for firearms, automotive, manufacturing and even fishing!

Next we continue our coverage of the 2016 Fall Big 3 East Media Event with Sven of Manticore Arms, Jerry and Jared of Triumph Systems, Tony Lambraia of Ultimate Training Munitions and Youtuber, Kevin Landers of Gear and Gun Reviews.  As the conversation gets rolling we learn about beard care, Jared graduated high school, Jerry's wife avidly uses NextLevel Training's SIRT pistol in conjunction with Triumph Systems' Pivotal Trainer, Pop Packs and X-Steel Targets AR500 steel targets work great together,  A Threat Down "clown" target may or may not be in the works, training is imperative, Sven loves pie and yeah, so everyone was so interested in Triumph's awesome target systems they rightly dominated the discussion until...Tony Lambraia with UTM drops in to discuss the latest goings-ons with them and, yes, a collaboration they will be doing with none other than Triumph Systems.

We did get a chance to catch up with Kevin later during his coverage of the 2016 International SWAT Round-Up competition in Orlando Florida.  Kevin gives us Leadheads his "Man-On-The-Street" coverage of the event.  Make sure to check out Gear and Gun Reviews on Youtube for great coverage of the SWAT Round-Up, Big 3 East and more...Yes, Sven did finally get a chance to talk about Manticore Arms but that will be in an upcoming #badasseryness episode.
