Savage Arms Continues Partnership with Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors

Sunday, July 9th, 2023

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – July 5th, 2023 – Savage Arms announces its continued partnership with Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors. The 501(c)-3 nonprofit is dedicated to its mission of providing mentorship and resources to children interested in outdoor sports. The organization’s goal is to immediately increase the number of outdoorsmen and women today, so that the industry, and its conservation efforts, have a support system in place to thrive in the future. Savage supports Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors to support more growth towards the shared mission values of conservation, safety and community.

“Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors encompasses everything Savage strives to support as they educate kids on the experiences, safety and ethical practices of the outdoor sports world,” said Beth Shimanski, Director of Marketing for Savage Arms. “A safe and ethical outdoorsman or woman is a responsible firearm owner, and these mentors work diligently to provide guidance. We’re happy to support their efforts as they mentor a new generation of outdoorsmen and women.”

Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors meet their mission goals by organizing events, fundraising and bolstering community support across the United States. In the last year, the organization more than doubled the number of hunts they organized, engaging over 1,000 youth. In addition to this success, Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors and their Shooting Sports Outreach Program has had great results. This program partners mentors with state high school shooting programs, and has helped to continue to invigorate a growing sport while also introducing more participants into the outdoor world.

“Continued support from Savage Arms is greatly appreciated. Their generosity will equip us to push our mission forward and reach the goals we have set for the year,” said Brittany French, CEO for the Pass It On – Outdoor Mentors. “When we all work together to try to move the needle in this industry, great things can happen.

Impact 700 Tech Specs:

• Factory-tuned pull weight of 3 – 4 lbs.

• Non-adjustable pull weight and overtravel.

• The trigger sear and trigger shoe are precision-machined and heat-treated from premium metal.

• The sear is carbonitrided for maximum lubricity and wear resistance for a lifetime of reliable performance.

• The trigger shoe is coated with black oxide for enhanced corrosion resistance.

• Housing is constructed of Anodized aluminum.

• Sear Engagement Adjustment Lock design (SEAL’d) creates a user-friendly experience.

• This trigger has been hand-assembled, tested, and calibrated at Timney’s facility in Phoenix, Arizona.

NFM AS Sues Mehler Vario System GmbH for Design Infringement in Germany

Wednesday, July 5th, 2023

Oslo, Norway, July 4th 2023 – NFM AS has spent significant time and resources on developing its THOR ® load bearing vests and has developed a range of innovative products such as the modular, scalable, and transformable GRID carrier system which enjoys intellectual property protection in the EU and other jurisdictions.

Mehler Vario System GmbH has earlier this year exhibited a product titled “Grid carrier” to the market at a trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, which NFM believes to infringe its registered design rights.

To protect its valuable intellectual property, NFM has initiated legal infringement proceedings against Mehler before the Regional Court of Düsseldorf, Germany, (docket no. 14C O 29/2023), requesting a decision which prohibits Mehler from marketing and distributing the products in question throughout the European Union.

The question of whether or not Mehler’s “Grid carrier” infringes NFM’s registered design rights will be decided by the Court.

Australian Missile Corporation, VicGov Agreement Aims to support Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) Workforce

Thursday, June 29th, 2023

The Australian Missile Corporation has signed an agreement with the Victorian Government, prioritising local jobs, skills and training to accelerate Australia’s new smart munitions industry.

The Memorandum of Understanding seeks to enable a “ready and able” Victorian workforce to support Australia’s Guided Weapons and Explosive Ordnance (GWEO) enterprise.

The AMC is an inaugural Australian-owned GWEO Enterprise Partner appointed by the Commonwealth to work with Defence and strategic industry partners Lockheed Martin Australia and Raytheon Australia in mobilising local industry to support domestic manufacture.

The Commonwealth Government recently doubled down on its investment in the GWEO enterprise after the Defence Strategic Review (DSR) prioritised GWEO capability among its “accelerated preparedness” objectives.

The $2.5b GWEO investment – up from the original $1b – includes rapidly establishing a domestic GWEO manufacturing capability, especially for long-range guided weapons.

AMC CEO Lee Goddard said the agreement with the Victorian Government demonstrated the company’s commitment to work with government and industry to develop a sustainable sovereign guided weapons industrial base.

“The whole AMC team is delighted to enter into this MoU,” he said. “A key recommendation of the DSR is the need to fast-track the development of munitions and missile manufacturing in Australia.

“The GWEO enterprise represents a next-generation defence industry that is expected to be in the order of $100b.

“Over the past two years the AMC has connected a collaborative network of more than 350 organisations with complementary expertise.

“This agreement with the Victorian Government represents an important step in realising this important strategic initiative for Australia while growing regional jobs and skills.”

The AMC is an independently operated company within the NIOA Group and was formed to support the acceleration of the development of GWEO manufacturing capability in Australia.
