Legion Firearms Presents One Heck Of A Deal

Tuesday, March 26th, 2013

Legion Firearms just sent us this press release. Magazine prices have recently gone up so several vendors are offering special deals in order to soften the blow, but nobody has done anything like this!

20130326-175256.jpg

AUSTIN, TX—28 FEB, 2013—Legion Firearms® is pleased to announce an epic rifle purchasing opportunity. This may well be the sale of the century. Buy one MagPul PMAG during the month of March and receive a free rifle!

That’s right. Legion is channeling the mainstream hype generated in response to nation-wide efforts on the part of unscrupulous legislators to offer you a PMAG GEN M3 from MagPul for the low low price of just $2,400.00. Twenty-four hundred dollars gets you a (probably) brand spanking new standard 30-round capacity polymer magazine and an LF4 ODG 5.56mm rifle at no additional charge.

Yes, it’s true. Thanks to such nauseating examples of elected officialdom as Rhonda Fields, Felix Ortiz, Audrey Gibson, Antonio Villaraigosa and of course Diane Feinstein, the market value of rifle magazines is now roughly on par with movie theater refreshments and extra sour cream from taco chains…but we’re offering an LF4 alongside our magazines to take the sting out.

The LF4 ODG leverages a combination of the quality construction standards and experience of Legion Firearms with the tactical acumen and innovation of Orion Design Group founder Brian Bishop to create a rugged, well equipped combat rifle unlike any other in the market—and it features the Lupus Camouflage Pattern!

Noted firearms tactician and Orion Design Group founder Brian Bishop has become a valuable asset to the Legion Firearms team. His innovative approach to weapon systems and concealment technology are brought to bear in every product he designs. Legion is proud to partner with ODG to present this “tricked out” yet “no nonsense” combat rifle featuring the Lupus Camouflage pattern. The LF4ODG normally retails for $2,490.00. You get yours for free with purchase of $2,400 magazine and coupon code LEGIOXXX.

Natick SOF Office Issues Changes to Winter Camo RFI

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

There has been a great deal of industry interest in USSOCOM’s recent call for winter/snow camo examples through their Program Manager-Special Operations Forces Survival, Support & Equipment Systems (PM-SOF SSES) office at Natick. Since releasing the Sources Sought Notice last week they have changed the request to industry slightly. But those few changes make for big differences.

Two really stand out.

First, rather than just providing visual camouflage, the patterns must now also provide IR concealment which makes total sense.

The camouflage pattern should be designed to provide concealment in alpine to sub-alpine environments, where snow, ice and rocks are the primary environmental features. The camouflage patterns should provide concealment in both the visual and near infrared ranges.
Camouflage patterns submitted to this sources sought solicitation must be beyond the development phase, and be printable on lightweight synthetic materials.

Second, the option of submitting three patterns per company has unexpectedly been curtailed to one. Naturally, this doesn’t preclude a company from working through a partner to submit additional patterns.

Interested companies may submit one camouflage pattern which meets the description above for this solicitation.

You can read the updates at www.fbo.gov.

USSOCOM Interested in Snow Camouflage

Monday, March 18th, 2013

As last as last month, during the Military Mountain and Cold Weather Work Shop, snow camouflage was discussed and there was no formal requirement for it. So I found it most interesting that Natick’s Program Manager-Special Operations Forces Survival, Support & Equipment Systems (PM-SOF SSES) initially released a Sources Sought Notice for Winter/Snow Camouflage on 14 March and then just today released an additional Sources Sought Notice for Over Whites. Both were issued on FedBizOpps and they are looking for at this point are samples. Perhaps, from this an actual RFP will be developed and released.

It is important to note that this is for USSOCOM only and that the current US Army Camouflage Improvement Effort did not identify a requirement for Winter/Snow Camouflage. The US Marine Corps fields a pattern that was developed by HyperStealth but access to this pattern by other military organizations has been difficult.

USMC snow camo

For the Camo Pattern of which there are now a multitude of commercially derived examples, they are “…seeking winter/snow camouflage patterns for possible use on over white garments. The camouflage pattern should be designed to provide concealment in alpine to sub-alpine environments, where snow, ice and rocks are the primary environmental features.

Camouflage patterns submitted to this sources sought solicitation must be beyond the development phase, and be printable on lightweight synthetic materials.

Interested parties are asked to submit three yards of material, preferably a lightweight synthetic material, with the camouflage pattern printed on it for evaluation by PM-SOF SSES by 2 April 2013.” As you can see, not a lot of direction. It’s really more of a “hey, show us what you got.

The Over White RFI on the other hand is a little more detailed.

Parka
* Anorak style jacket large enough to fit over PCU Level 7/ high-loft jacket
* Half zip in the front center
* Large zippered pocket on the bottom front starting just below half zip, large enough to fit mittens
* Pass through pockets to access items in interior garment pockets or on body armor vest/load carriage
* Hood with drawstring which fits over helmet and PCU Level 7 hood
* Drawstring around the waist
* Coverage to approximately 4 inches below waistline when high-loft jacket is worn

Pants
* Full side zippers
* Two-way zippers
* Front button closure
* Two interior horizontal suspender attachment points
* Waistband with drawstring closure
* Mechanism at the end of each leg which will keep pants from riding up, i.e. hook or elastic band to attach to boots

The key physical performance characteristics that the material will be evaluated for are weight, compressibility and water resistance. Wind resistance and breathability are desired, but are secondary to the aforementioned key performance characteristics. The total cost of the parka is not to exceed $75, and the cost of the pants is not to exceed $50.

Companies are asked to submit one sample of the over white parka and pants in order to demonstrate the design, and can submit up to three different materials for evaluation. For each material submitted please include 2 yards of the material to be utilized for physical performance testing, as well as a report showing any test results already obtained for the material by 12 April 2013.

As this thing was originally discussed at the Military Mountain and Cold Weather Work Shop so I’m happy to see that something came out of it.
