There is a thread going over at BPL's DIY section for some folks looking to get the Nexus Line Lock3 Buckle.

Sorry for the HUGE picture, it's linked strait from Nexus.
It's a very similar piece of gear to the Line Lock3 that we have been stocking but with a side release buckle built in. The Rub is that Nexus has a 12 week lead time and minimum order of 2000 pieces. I have offered to try and help get them in as I can get a decent price of .55 each buckle.
I am checking to see if there is further interest in some from the DIY community here at HF. If we can get enough folks interested I would be taking some of them for inventory for our DIY gear section at AHE. Word has it that some pack makers are using these for light weight options on packs for things like the lid pocket connection as the 2.5 - 3 mm cord that would go in place of the normal webbing for the adjustment side is much lighter. The fixed side is sized for 1/2" webbing.
This is not any sort of group buy but more an inquiry of interest for me to order them in for sale at AHE.
