Less Money Needed To Move Magpul To Wyoming

Friday, September 12th, 2014

According to a story in the Post Register, Magpul has found a move-in ready building in their new production, distribution and shipping base in Cheyenne, Wyoming that not only meets their long-term needs but also prevents them from having to take up temporary residence until a final home is completed. This move will save the citizens of Wyoming over $4 Million in grant money. The change was recently approved by the Wyoming Business Commission and will be taken up this week by the Wyoming State Loan and Investment Board.

This will result in Wyoming investing $8.3 million in the project, and Cheyenne LEADS, the local economic development organization, will invest $1.1 million to help Magpul move. Operations should be in place by November.

The $8.3 million initially comes as a grant, but under the agreement, Magpul will repay about $3.7 million. Additionally, LEADS will sell the building to Magpul.

Since I’m now seeing it posted everywhere, I’ll comment. Not bad, it only took folks two years to realize that KeyMod works just like industrial shelving.

Slight Change to Crye Precision’s AirFlex Combat Knee Pad

Wednesday, September 10th, 2014

I picked up a new pair of AirFlex Combat Knee Pads last week from Crye Precision and just noticed that they had made a slight change to the mold for the rubber cap. Above you can see the new version and below an older Pad.

What they’ve added is a link to www.lwpatents.com which is a simple website that lists all of LineWeight’s patents. LineWeight LLC is Crye’s IP holding company and the site lists each patent by item and number.

Other than that, no additional changes have been made. For users, they are the same pads you’ve been wearing. For collectors it will be a data point. But for competitors it’s a warning. They want others to be fully cognizant that there is a patent on this product. Crye Precision has been defending their intellectual property for years and I see this as a message that they will continue to do so.
