Seekins Precision Divorce Statement

Thursday, October 11th, 2018

For Immediate Release (Lewiston, ID) 10.9.2018

After careful and personal reflection as to what is best for their family and company as a whole, Glen and Katie Seekins are formally announcing their separation and divorce.

Though this is a deeply personal matter, in order to deter any rumors or misinformation, they feel it is important for the public and consumers of the Seekins brand to know that things will remain business as usual.

This decision was made privately several months ago and has not in any way affected the day to day operation or production of products.

Glen and Katie have and will continue to run the business as equal partners and all operations will remain status quo.

The Seekins family statement is as follows:

As our followers, friends and family of Seekins Precision, Glen and I feel the need to share a bit of our personal life with you.

We have mutually and lovingly decided it is best to end our marriage. We continue to be parents first to our two amazing boys, wonderful and supportive friends as we always been and equal business partners in Seekins Precision as a family.

We share this not to elicit opinions but more to minimize rumors, we are both committed to our business and we will continue to run it as the family business as we always have.

Yes, it is a bit unorthodox but we have learned long ago that we have to do what works best for us and not follow in others molds. It is how we have been successful and will continue to be successful going forward.

Thank you for all your thoughts and support during this transition.

All further information and inquiries regarding this decision or the Seekins Precision brand should be directed through the Leviathan Group at PR@leviathangroupllc.com.

Rosco Manufacturing Becomes Title Sponsor of First Annual “Snipers Unknown” Event

Friday, October 5th, 2018

October 5th, 2018: Rosco Manufacturing; a Rhode Island based manufacturer of quality American made gun barrels is proud to announce that they will be the title sponsor of the first annual “Snipers Unknown” event managed by Fenix Strategies (October 6th-7th at the Clinton House Plantation, S.C.).

The event will be a Long-Range Precision “Blind Stage” competition, a first of its kind. Over 45 two-person shooter teams will be in attendance and ready to outshoot the competition for a chance at attaining the coveted “Snipers Unknown” Top Team trophy. Shooter teams will range from Military Snipers, Law Enforcement/ SWAT Snipers, all the way to PRS level competitors.

The shooter teams will not be able to pre-game stages by witnessing previous attempts from other teams. This one caveat changes the landscape of how most Long-Range Precision events (albeit most shooting competitions) operate. Rosco has also teamed up with VLTOR Weapons Systems, Vortex Optics, American Defense Mfg., and CMC Triggers to create two awesome GRAND PRIZE rifles for the Top Team.

“The only advantage that teams will have is their knowledge on the subject matter earned through years of training, experience, and how they communicate. These simple concepts have been under utilized by shooters in multiple disciplines for many years. The hope is to start a fire that will burn for many years to come, and we will be there every step of the way” Gabriel Cabrera (Marketing/ Sales Director for Rosco Mfg).

CORDURA Brand Launches New Website with Fabric Sourcing Experience in Mind

Sunday, September 30th, 2018

WICHITA, KS – September 25, 2018 – INVISTA’s CORDURA® brand announces the launch of its redesigned website, which features several new interactive tools designed to make sourcing CORDURA® fabrics easier than ever before. A fabric technology explorer allows users to search for CORDURA® fabrics to meet their specific needs, and a mill locator helps identify relevant fabric suppliers and sources for fabric samples.

“One of our biggest goals for the design of the new website was to create a seamless and intuitive user experience that promotes both inspiration and education for our value chain partners and prospective customers about how to integrate head-to-toe CORDURA® fabrics into their offerings.” said Mallory Faust, digital marketing manager at CORDURA® brand. “The development of these tools was heavily influenced by conversations with our customers about what inspires their fabric sourcing decisions.”

In addition to the fabric technology explorer and mill locator, the new site also offers focus pages with technical fabric information curated to help educate designers of military/tactical equipment, workwear, footwear, bags/packs, motorcycle gear, and active/outdoor apparel about relevant CORDURA® fabric options by end-use.

“As we continue to evolve our brand, we want to ensure that innovation through collaboration remains at the forefront of our mission. The redesign of our website helps us better connect to our brand customer and mill audience, making working with our technologies easier than ever before,” said Cindy McNaull, global CORDURA® brand and marketing director. “In addition to better servicing our supply chain partners, we are excited to launch our new blog that embodies the Live DurableTM ethos for a broader, consumer-based audience.”

The blog features the latest product reviews, seasonal trend gear guides, and key customer spotlights.

XTech Tactical Responds to Frivolous Lawsuit brought by Century Arms

Friday, September 28th, 2018

September 27th, 2018

Mesa, AZ – In response to the frivolous lawsuit, Civil Action No. 9:18cv-81295 (S.D. FL), brought by Century International Arms, Inc.

XTech Tactical® will not relent its inherent and obvious rights to sell what is known to the market as the MAG47™. The complaint filed against XTech Tactical® contains a baseless claim of trade dress which is clearly an attempt to intimidate a much smaller and younger business.

XTech Tactical® was founded on and operates with the highest level of integrity and is extremely confident in its position. Furthermore, it is important to the company to set the precedent that it will not lay down to baseless threats, regardless of another entity’s size. XTech Tactical® has been preparing for the likelihood of a lawsuit since January of 2018 when Century Arms first sent a demand letter to Molded Devices, Inc., the manufacturer of the MAG47™.

Before XTech Tactical® begins the development or redevelopment of any product, it exhaustively studies the existence of preexisting intellectual property. During the research related to the MAG47™ project, it was discovered that no one controlling the US Palm brand owned any patents, proprietary designs, or other valid intellectual property related to US Palm’s AK47 rifle magazines.

The XTech Tactical® MAG47™ currently available in two configurations on www.xtechtactical.com is quickly being established as the single greatest US Made AK47 magazine in history. MSRP on the magazines range from $26.95-29.95. The company obsessively studied consumer feedback and requests related to the ideal AK47 magazine. From that study and substantial engineering effort came what is now, the MAG47™. XTech Tactical® strives and will always strive to be the leading company in the industry when it comes to hearing its customers’ and potential customers’ voices.

XTech Tactical® is co-title sponsoring Red Oktober in Utah October 6-7th and will also be exhibiting for the first time at SHOT Show booth 4164.

About XTech Tactical, LLC:

In 2013, XTech Tactical was formed by firearms enthusiasts to develop revolutionary firearms accessories for modern rifles and other small arms.

The founding members bring over 50 years of combined product development, design-for-manufacturing, and quality control experience. Collectively they are listed on over 35 US and International Patents, and have been part of taking hundreds of products from concept through production.

We believe in making the best products possible for our customers whether civilian, agency or military. The company strives to lead the industry in innovation, customer service, and hearing our customers’ voices.

Giving Back

We offer a 10% discount for all active duty US soldiers, veterans, and law enforcement that register on our website. We also have corporately partnered with Trident True (tridenttrue.org) to give back to some of our country’s heroes, our combat veterans. We will be offering special edition products to benefit the cause, while also assisting Trident True through financial support, exposure, and offering individual veterans unique experiences. Please take a moment and check out their website for more information. Trident True will also be at the XTech Tactical® booth at Red Oktober along with some great American heroes!

“I was excited to join the team at Operational Medicine Consultants because I felt strongly about their mission,” said Pucciarelli. “While this advancement comes with a lot

of new responsibilities and challenges, I am excited to now be in a position to help drive the overall direction of the company as we pursue even greater opportunities. It is especially gratifying to work with a team that puts such trust in me and my vision.”
