“It is apparent that the Sandy Hook tragedy was a watershed event that has raised the national debate on gun control to an unprecedented level.”
-Cerberus Capital Management
Early this morning Freedom Group‘s owners Cerberus Capital Management announced the decision to sell. FGI Companies include Remington, Bushmaster, DPMS/Panther Arms, Marlin, H&R, NEF, LC Smith, Parker, Dakota Arms and Mountain Khakis.
Their full statement –
We were shocked and deeply saddened by the events that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT on December 14, 2012. We cannot comprehend the losses suffered by the families and friends of those killed by the unthinkable crimes committed that day. No words or actions can lessen the enormity of this event or make a dent in the pain that was inflicted on so many.
In 2006 affiliates of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P. made a financial investment in Freedom Group. Freedom Group does not sell weapons or ammunition directly to consumers, through gun shows or otherwise. Sales are made only to federally licensed firearms dealers and distributors in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. We do not believe that Freedom Group or any single company or individual can prevent senseless violence or the illegal use or procurement of firearms and ammunition.
It is apparent that the Sandy Hook tragedy was a watershed event that has raised the national debate on gun control to an unprecedented level. The debate essentially focuses on the balance between public safety and the scope of the Constitutional rights under the Second Amendment. As a Firm, we are investors, not statesmen or policy makers. Our role is to make investments on behalf of our clients who are comprised of the pension plans of firemen, teachers, policemen and other municipal workers and unions, endowments, and other institutions and individuals. It is not our role to take positions, or attempt to shape or influence the gun control policy debate. That is the job of our federal and state legislators.
There are, however, actions that we as a firm can take. Accordingly, we have determined to immediately engage in a formal process to sell our investment in Freedom Group. We will retain a financial advisor to design and execute a process to sell our interests in Freedom Group, and we will then return that capital to our investors. We believe that this decision allows us to meet our obligations to the investors whose interests we are entrusted to protect without being drawn into the national debate that is more properly pursued by those with the formal charter and public responsibility to do so.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and communities impacted by this tragic and devastating event.
The Jack carbine from Haley Strategic Partners and Bravo Company USA is now available for sale.
Get yours at www.bravocompanyusa.com.
Bravo Company has joined forces with Haley Strategic Partners to produce The Jack, as in “Jack of all Trades.” The technologies integrated into this carbine build are impressive, to say the least.
Built on a Bravo Company lower and upper, the 5.56mm carbine relies on BCM’s 14.5″ Government Profile Barrel (and mid-length gas system) with a permanent mounting of the brand new BCMGUNFIGHTER Compensator making it a 16″ Civilian Legal Barrel. This is paired with the excellent Geissele Super Modular Rail mounted with a BCM Diopter Front Folding Battle Sight and Rear Folding Battle Sight.
HSP also specified the ALG Defense ACT Trigger which gives you a Geissele quality trigger in a US GI package as well as the newly debuted B5 Systems SOPMOD Bravo Stock mounted to a Bravo Company receiver extension. The Jack also includes a BCM GUNFIGHTER Charging Handle and Mod I Pistol Grip. Weighing in at 6 lbs 11 oz (with light, mount and irons), The Jack incorporates the Inforce WML-HSP (Momentary Only White Light Black Body) mounted to a Haley Strategic Thorntail Offset Light Mount built by Impact Weapons Components right out of the box. All of this topped off with a custom Disruptive Grey tone Cerakote finish by Joint Force Enterprises. This gun is ready to go as soon as you pick it up from the FFL. The only thing you will want to do to upgrade The Jack is to add an optic of your choice.

I am continually impressed at the quality of BCM guns and the number of products that are debuting on The Jack is a testament to the hard work that Haley Strategic Partners put into working with their industry affiliates to make this a reality.

ALG Defense is a relatively new company started by Amy Geissele. They take unfinished 8620 alloy castings of standard issue M4 triggers as used by Colt and give them the Geissele magic. In addition to new pins and springs, they finish the triggers. They don’t change the overall geometry of the trigger but rather polish the sear surfaces smooth and HardLube the trigger components. HardLubing is how ALG refers to their electroless Nickel plating. They use an integral modifier to the base nickel plate. Either Boron or Teflon is used to enhance surface hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance and also create favorable tribological properties of the trigger components.
Currently, ALG Defense offers two models. The ALG Combat Trigger (ACT) seen below and the Quality Mil-Spec (QMS) Trigger.
Pull weight is above the US Military minimum pull weight of 5.5 lbs but does not reach near the upper limit of 9.5 lbs. Generally the pull is around 6 lbs. Installation is as a standard trigger and parts may be interchanged between triggers as there are no matched sets. In fact, your trigger is going to look like a standard trigger but under the hood, it’s a Geissele.
The Lightweight Carbon-Fiber Handguard from Lancer is pretty cool. It’s a free float handguard for 5.56mm AR type rifles and 7.62mm AR type rifles.
The carbon fiber tube is attached to the receiver extension with fasteners so no bonding is required. Additionally, the handguard will remain free floated even if used on a rifle with a fixed sight post due to clearance between the end of the handguard and the fixed front sight post.
It integrates cooling slots that pull double duty as attachment points for Picatinny rail segments. You can customize the setup of your handguard by placing rails only where you need them. Where needed, aircraft grade 7075-T6 aluminum is used.
As you can see, Lancer offers the handguard in extra long, rifle and carbine lengths as well as mid-length (not shown).
War Sport has been lording their custom variant LF-15s over us for months now, teasing us with photos and telling us how great they’ve been running. Quite frankly, it looks to me like they’ve had just a little too much fun so it’s about time they shared the love with us little people.
The Legion Firearms LF-15 lower receiver comes complete and incorporates the B.A.D. 45-degree Ambi Short Throw Fire/Safety controls, Ambi Magazine Release their our MIAD? “Mix-Up” grip option, Geissele SSA-E Trigger, VLTOR MilSpec Buffer Tube w/ASAP Ambi Sling attachment and Magpul CTR Stock (color coordinated to receiver). You can choose Receiver color (Tan, OD, Foliage or Colt Gray) and Buffer weight.
There are only 15 available so you’d better jump on this quick if you want one.
