Thursday, May 12th, 2022

NEWINGTON, N.H., (May 12, 2022) – SIG SAUER is pleased to support Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation with an exclusive SIG MCX-SPEAR package for the Task Force Dagger SOF Auction and Raffle occurring in conjunction with the upcoming SOFIC (Special Operations Forces International Conference) show.  Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation is a veteran-operated non-profit that aids wounded, ill, or injured US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) members and their families. This exclusive package includes a SIG MCX-SPEAR Rifle in a 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, a TANGO6T riflescope, and a SIG SLX Suppressor. The auction opened on Monday, May 9th and will close on Tuesday, May 17th at 8:00pm.

“It is an honor for SIG SAUER to support the mission and programs of Task Force Dagger year after year in support of the Special Operations Community. This year with the excitement of our selection as the provider of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapons Program (NGSW) and the SOFIC show we are hopeful that our donation of this MCX-SPEAR package will help to increase the success and reach of the Task Force Dagger Foundation programs within the SOF community,” said Jason St. John, Director, Government Products. “The MCX-SPEAR and the SLX Suppressor are the same platform and suppressor as the NGSW rifle. For this auction, the rifle is offered in the soon-to-be-released 6.5 Creedmoor caliber and paired with the popular TANGO6T riflescope currently in use in various set-ups throughout the military. With the excitement and demand of the MCX-SPEAR in the commercial market we are hopeful that this will inspire the bidding to benefit the organization.”

The SIG MCX-SPEAR rifle is an adaptable multi-caliber rifle featuring rear and side non-reciprocating charging handles, 6-position folding stock, ambidextrous fire control, bolt-catch, and mag release, 2-stage match trigger, 2-position adjustable gas piston, a lightened free-float M-LOK™ handguard, a full-length picatinny rail, and ships with (1) 20-round magazine.  

The SIG SAUER SLX Series of suppressors are designed to drastically reduce toxic fume inhalation by the end-user and sound reduction.  The SLX suppressors feature a monolithic core construction in Inconel, an internal multi-flow path to exhaust gases at a higher rate resulting in lower toxic fume inhalation, a sound-reducing baffle design, a flash reducing end cap, and are available with either the new Clutch-Lock QD mounting system for easy install and removal that offers an intuitive tactile locking ring with infinite radial locking positions or direct thread.

The SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6T optic is currently in use as the Direct View Optic (DVO), Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR) and the USSOCOM Squad-Variable Powered Scope (S-VPS).  The SIG SAUER TANGO6T 1-6x24MM riflescope is available in first and second plane, and varying reticles including 5.56/7.62 Horseshoe Dot, HELLFIRE MOA Milling, HELLFIRE FL-6 and the new DWLR6.

The complete details of the SIG SAUER MCX-SPEAR package to benefit the Task Force Dagger SOF Auction are available on the auction website and bidding is open through Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at 8:00pm.

Thursday, March 24th, 2022

Miami, Florida  –  Kalashnikov-USA (KUSA) Competitor Cedric Jean-Baptiste joined 400 other participants in the inaugural MIA Runway 5K Airport Series on Saturday, March 19, at Miami-Opa locka Executive Airport (OPF) to make strides against breast cancer. The proceeds from registrations and sponsorships for the series, which totaled $17,500, will benefit the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign.

“I’m grateful to Kalashnikov-USA for sponsoring me as a runner in this 5K event and donating funds to raise awareness about breast cancer and help with treatment and recovery” said Jean-Baptiste (the_rhundown), a 37-year old racing enthusiast and security manager at a resort hotel. “I’m looking forward to representing the company at other charitable race events in South Florida as a way to giving back to our community” he added.

Kalashnikov-USA is increasingly active with a variety of worthy causes.  Recently, the company donated an emotional-support service dog, as well as training and supplies, to a Marine Corps veteran.  Under the banner of “Kalashnikov-USA Cares” the company plans to continue increasing its charitable endeavors through monthly events such as fundraising races, walks and other activities that benefit our community, especially our veterans.

“Kalashnikov-USA is a growing employer in South Florida. Our skilled workers live and work and raise their children here.  It is only natural that we support those organizations that are working to improve the welfare of our employees, our neighbors and our fellow citizens” said David Garretson, VP of Marketing for the company.  “We look forward to supporting Cedric in future charity races as well as assisting other noteworthy causes, especially those that benefit individuals dealing with difficult challenges” he added.
