Black Collar Arms Forged Carbon Fiber Components

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

Austin, TX (09/07/2020) — Originally developed as a joint effort between Lamborghini and Callaway Golf Company, the forged carbon fiber process can produce complex shapes one-third the weight of titanium, yet stronger. Partnering with manufacturing company McVick, Black Collar Arms is excited to bring the world of forged carbon fiber components to a firearm near you.

Available first are Forged Carbon Fiber One-Piece Scope Mounts in 30mm and 34mm ring sizes. Despite weighing in at a scant 5.2 ounces, these forged carbon fiber scope mounts are as stiff and rigid as if they were machined from steel (three times stiffer than aluminum!) with just 1/6th the thermal expansion of aluminum.

These are the most rigid scope mounts on the market and maintain flawless zero in any condition. As if the gorgeous carbon fiber aesthetic wasn’t enough!

Forged Carbon Fiber One-Piece Scope Mounts are the first in an upcoming line of forged carbon fiber components currently being designed by Black Collar to be manufactured by McVick exclusively for Black Collar. Expect further optic mounting solutions plus other accessories and components, including AR-15 parts.

Quality is extremely high, but current production capacity is low. Mount availability will be rather limited with small batches arriving at Black Collar weekly while we gradually invest in increasing capacity.

Despite the limited and exclusive nature of the Forged Carbon Fiber One-Piece Scope Mounts and their physical advantages over aluminum mounts, not to mention their drop-dead gorgeous looks, MSRP is in-line with other premium scope mounts.

Introducing the Newest Reebok Work Sublite Cushion Footwear: EXOFUSE

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

St. Louis, MO (September 9, 2020) – Warson Brands, official licensee of Reebok for occupational footwear, introduces the Exofuse extension of the wildly-popular and industry-leading Reebok Sublite Cushion Work line of work shoes. The series includes two styles of athletic work shoes.

The Reebok Sublite Cushion Work incorporates a Sublite foam midsole to maximize cushioning while minimizing weight. A proprietary blend of lightweight foams create the Sublite midsole, which achieves maximum lightness with a soft underfoot feel. Deep flex grooves in the midsole allow for natural movement of the foot and greater range of motion. At the heel and toe are rubber pads for stopping power and takeoff propulsion.

“The Reebok Sublite Cushion Work is our lightest series of work footwear”, says John Duvic, VP of Product Development at Warson Brands. “Industrial workers are on their feet all day carrying heavy loads for their job, so we wanted to create one piece of equipment that wouldn’t weight them down. The Sublite Cushion Work is it. With these latest two models, we added an Exofuse water resistant microfiber upper and extra slip-resistant traction at the heel and forefoot. This is a great shoe for anyone around chemicals, water, grease, and oil.”

The Sublite Cushion Work also features a MemoryTech Massage 2.0 footbed that adapts to the unique contours of the foot. A lightweight XTR® Brand alloy toe cap provides plenty of room in the toebox while meeting or exceeding ASTM F2413 safety standards. The RB4050 and RB4051 both provide electrical hazard protection and are metal free.

Reebok work footwear and the Sublite Cushion Work series are available through select retailers throughout the United States and at www.reebokwork.com

In addition to four tours in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn, Dailey deployed in support of Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield. He earned the Bronze Star with Valor for his leadership during the 4th Infantry Division’s two?month Battle for Sadr City in 2008.

Brownells Donates $50K to CRPA for Standard Capacity Magazine Fight

Thursday, September 10th, 2020

GRINNELL, Iowa (September 8, 2020) – Brownells is donating $50,000 to the California Rifle & Pistol Association to help fund the fight to restore freedom and standard-capacity magazines to California gun owners.

In August, a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit upheld a previous decision against California’s ban on magazines in the Duncan v. Becerra case. The panel determined a ban on magazines with capacity of over 10 rounds violates the 2nd Amendment rights of Californians.

In an effort to delay striking down California’s draconian magazine ban, the California Attorney General’s office petitioned for an en banc review of panel’s ruling, extending the struggle for California gun owners to regain their Constitutionally-guaranteed rights.

To help see that struggle through to a victorious finish, Brownells is contributing $50,000 for CRPA’s efforts to the cause.

“The California Rifle & Pistol Association Foundation is proud of the partnership with Brownells to fight for the rights of all Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights,” said CRPA Foundation Director of Development Rick Travis. “Brownells’ generous donation will be used 100% in the fight to see the Duncan v. Becerra case to a successful conclusion in restoring the Second Amendment in California.”

If the rulings against California’s magazine ban are upheld, they could serve as precedent in similar decisions against other similar bans enacted by anti-gun politicians in other states.
