Spuhr’s G3 Stock

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

Håkan Spuhr has been working on this collapsible stock for the G3 for about 6 years.  Having been smacked in the cheekbone with the issue stock, I can say, this upgrade is most welcome. 

  
At IWA he told me it was where he wanted it.  Coming soon!

Feel The SURG – USSOCOM Seeks Suppressor Upper Receiver Group for M4A1 Carbines

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

On 12 April, USSOCOM’s Directorate of Procurement released a solicitation for the long anticipated Suppressor Upper Receiver Group.

According to the government, “The SURG weapon upgrade of the M4A1 Lower Receiver Group will allow the Warfighter’s weapon to be optimized for continuous suppressed use.” Interestingly, there’s no requirement that the upper feature an integral suppressor, just that it is suppressed.

Vendors have been working on this project for quite sometime as SOCOM has collected data in order to dial in the requirement. As you can imagine, most of the major players have all teamed up which explains the relatively short lead time until submissions are due.

Potential offerers have until July 13th to answer. Specific information requires an account with Fed Biz Opps.

Invest In Veteran-led Companies || VeteranCrowd, LLC

Wednesday, April 13th, 2016

If you’re looking to invest in veteran-led companies the team at VeteranCrowd has the platform to do so. More details below:

VeteranCrowd

The marketplace for investing in Veteran-led companies

Why Veterans? The leadership skills and values veterans develop in the military translate to greater success in the private business sector. Veterans are:

  • Team players.
  • Mission-oriented, effectively organizing teams to achieve objectives.
  • Good communicators, clearly stating goals and objectives as well as the “commander’s intent.”.
  • Creative problem-solvers, accustomed to working with limited time and resources.
  • Calm in stressful situations.
  • Personally accountable, holding themselves to a higher standard and maintaining a heightened sense of ethics.
  • Integrity first and always.
  • With change comes opportunity. Until recently, the business of raising capital remained virtually unchanged for the eighty years. The issuer’s reach was limited to the high net worth investors with whom they had existing relationships and could contact directly. Now, Regulation D Rule 506C of the JOBS Act allows for general solicitation. We list equity investment opportunities on the web and investors explore these investment options online, at their leisure.

    Timing. With millions of troops transitioning to civilian life, veterans becoming entrepreneurs in great numbers and the new rules surrounding raising capital, we believe our timing is ideal.

    Who can participate? Veteran-led businesses, family offices, professionally managed funds, and accredited investors. An accredited investor is anyone who:

  • earned income that exceeded $200,000 (or $300,000 together with a spouse) in each of the prior two years, and reasonably expects the same for the current year, OR
  • has a net worth over $1 million, either alone or together with a spouse (excluding the value of the person’s primary residence).
  • In addition, entities such as banks, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits and trusts may be accredited investors. Of the entities that would be considered accredited investors and depending on your circumstances, the following may be relevant to you:

  • any trust, with total assets in excess of $5 million, not formed to specifically purchase the subject securities, whose purchase is directed by a sophisticated person,  OR
  • any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.
  • Many states have passed intrastate equity crowdfunding laws that allow non-accredited investors to participate in generally solicited equity offerings. The Federal Government is expected to enact similar rules in 2016.

    How it works. Interested parties simply create a free account on VeteranCrowd.com to view available equity offerings. Select offerings are thoroughly vetted for suitability and compliance before they are posted on VeteranCrowd.com. Qualified investors explore offering details and may request any further information and access to the management team. Once an investment is committed, our FINRA broker dealer conducts investor accreditation, processes the transaction and the securities are issued.

    Gorilla Ammunition Pro Shooter Nick Atkinson Wins Texas 3Gun Championship

    Tuesday, April 12th, 2016

    In Marble Falls Texas this past weekend Nick Atkinson placed 1st in the Tactical Optics division of the Texas 3Gun Championship

    Vero Beach, FL, – April 11, 2016 – Just this past weekend, under a blanket of clouds, battling the wind and dust Nick Atkinson was dominating the competition at the Texas 3Gun Championship Marble Falls, Texas. Nick placed 1st in the Tactical Optics division, defeating over 180 competitors.

    “The Texas 3Gun Championship was a great match with tough competition. I was a few points behind going into the final stage, but my Gorilla match ammo helped me secure a stage win, going 1 for 1 on all the long range targets and I finished the match taking 1st place. Gorilla made the difference between 1st and 2nd place for me this weekend. I have been shooting Gorilla 69 grain match ammo for over a year, so I knew I could count on it to cut the wind on all the long range shots” said Nick Atkinson

    “We are very proud of Nick’s early 2016 season win and can’t wait to see his performances throughout the season. Nick has been working really hard on his skills and we are elated to be a part of his success,” said Jay Duncan, Gorilla Ammunition’s Director Sales & Marketing.

Customers wanting pricing information on a custom build such as this should use our website contact. It will speed up the process if you include your shipping address with the initial inquiry.

    Tactical Solutions XBR Available Exclusively from Silencer Shop

    Tuesday, April 12th, 2016

    Description:

    When discussing rifle manufacturers, all firearms are not created equal. Undeniably, there are certain gun makers that are revered more than others due to craftsmanship and attention to detail. With their X-Ring Rifle, Tactical Solutions has claimed its stake in the upper tier of designers. This .22LR revelation meshes two renowned Tactical Solutions products—X-Ring barrel and X-Ring receiver – into a short barreled rifle available exclusively through Silencer Shop!

    Using the history-laden Ruger 10/22 platform as the building block for the X-Ring Rifle, Tactical Solutions created a cutting-edge product that outdoorsmen will enjoy shooting and maintaining. Its 6061 T6 aluminum fluted bull barrel is light in weight and compact (a mere 12.25”), which just clears the Hogue stock, producing a svelte look. A rifled chrome-moly steel liner enhances the weapon’s durability and accuracy, in addition to bringing added balance throughout. The receiver is something to behold, as well. Sporting a dual-spring guide rod system combined with a heat-treated stainless steel bolt, the reliability and consistency offered by the X-Ring Rifle is second-to-none.

    Rapid Fire
    -Caliber: .22LR semiautomatic
