Stafford, TX, USA — January 10, 2016

Radical Firearms is proud to announce it will be building the 225TH Anniversary Commemorative Edition Rifle for the United States Marshals Service. The new rifle will be built in limited numbers and will be available to serving or retired United States Marshals and Deputy Marshals only.

If you are in Las Vegas for the 2016 NSSF SHOT Show, come find us at Media Day at the Range or join us at Booth #20130 in the law enforcement section. If you’re available Tuesday representatives of the US Marshals Association (USMSA) will be on hand.

The United States Marshals Service is the oldest serving law enforcement in the country. It was established in September of 1789 by President George Washington. He commissioned the first 13 Marshals on September 26TH, choosing the first 13 Marshals. Many of them he knew personally. The Marshals and Deputy Marshals of today proudly carry on their legacy of service.

This honor comes at one of our busiest times yet. Demand has surged (likely due to recent POTUS/Administration posturing) to an all time high. Last week we received over 10,000 orders. This has necessitated a change to our operations. All lower receivers and stripped upper receivers have been removed as individual purchase items and have been dedicated to the production of full rifle and pistol builds. All orders will be shipped in the order received. On-site visits and local retail sales will temporarily be restricted to appointment only. We love welcoming visitors but things are currently at an incredibly hectic pace. We have added phone lines to increase our ability to respond more quickly and are working to answer e-mails more expeditiously as well. Unfortunately (or, fortunately, depending on your perspective!) we receive 1,000 or more e-mails every day. Production has been increased to 24/7 and staff adjusted to accommodate that.

2016 promises to be one hell of a year.

    ArmorSource Passes FAT for Lightweight ACH

    Wednesday, January 6th, 2016

    Helmet

    HEBRON, Ohio, Jan. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — ArmorSource LLC (ArmorSource) announced that it has successfully completed First Article Testing (FAT) for the U.S. Army Lightweight Advanced Combat Helmet (LW-ACH), with deliveries set for spring 2016. The LW-ACH is the latest result of cooperation between industry and the Department of Defense (DoD) to best serve the men and women of our Armed Forces. By reducing the weight of the current Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) by four ounces, the LW-ACH provides superior protection while alleviating the extreme weight burden soldiers must sustain on their head and neck.

    “The LW-ACH FAT was challenging. It presented extensive and evolved ballistic test protocols,” said Yoav Kapah, ArmorSource CEO. “But the vigorous process assures the Army and the soldiers that the helmet delivers improved and enhanced protection. ArmorSource’s progressive R&D, engineering and production readiness capabilities are fully engaged to begin supporting the U.S, military with a lighter and more robust combat helmet. And we are very proud to do so.”

    The ArmorSource LW-ACH, model ‘AS-505’, provides protection against multiple projectile and fragmentation threats, back-face deformation, and blunt and shock impact resistance. Though the testing protocol of the LW-ACH is much more rigorous than that of the legacy ACH, ArmorSource’s successful completion of FAT testing confirms that improved ballistic protection can and does simultaneously deliver a 10 percent weight reduction. The weight of the LW-ACH (size large) is now 3 lbs., compared to 3.3 lbs. in the ACH.

    ArmorSource is currently the only vendor with an approved FAT authorization for the LW-ACH with production underway to deliver 105,000 helmets to the U.S. Army throughout 2016.

    Mustang Survival Launches New Gear And Offers Inflatable PFD Inspection And Maintenance Training At The Toronto International Boat Show 2016

    Wednesday, January 6th, 2016

    BURNABY, BC – Mustang Survival announced today that its Spring 2016 Range is shipping to stores now and will be available for purchase at the 2016 Toronto International Boat Show. In addition, a Mustang Survival expert will be training show attendees how to inspect and maintain inflatable personal flotation devices (PFDs) at the show. The Toronto International Boat Show (TIBS) is North America’s largest indoor boat show and takes place from January 9 to 17, 2016 at the Enercare Centre, Exhibition Place, Toronto, Ontario.

    The Spring 2016 Range brings performance to the forefront with the introduction of two new Elite™ inflatable PFDs, gloves and accessories.

    ELITE 38

    ·The Elite 38: The Elite 38 blends lightweight with durability and Mustang Survival’s highest buoyancy rating for commercial inflatable PFDs at 38 lbs. The lightweight body armour industry outer shell is reinforced with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) abrasion patches in hard-wearing areas. The bright fluorescent yellow/green inflation cell greatly improves in-water visibility and includes a strobe light holder and safety whistle.

    ·The Elite 28K: Designed with paddling in mind, the Elite 28K brings together motion and adaptability with a MOLLE attachment system commonly used in military applications. A separate MOLLE compatible pocket is available and, along with the lash tab and attachment points, allows for secure stowage and retrieval of essential tools and gear. The slim 3D chassis helps to reduce interference and the integrated back panel has been designed to fit kayak seats.

    ·Traction Gloves: Engineered for fishing and a first for Mustang Survival, the Traction Glove provides a 30-50 percent grip improvement over bare hands. There are two models available: a fingerless glove when dexterity is a must; and a full-finger glove for cold and wet conditions with touchscreen-friendly conductive fingertips.

    This expansion of the Mustang Survival Range follows the highly successful 2014 introduction of the original Elite PFD. Find out more about the Range at www.mustangsurvival.com/spring2016.

    To further demonstrate its commitment to the boating public, Mustang Survival’s Peter Reid will offer free Expert Sessions on inflatable PFD inspection and maintenance. A materials and metallurgical engineer, working as the quality manager with Mustang Survival for six years, Reid is based in Burnaby, B.C.. Show goers who bring their own inflatables will receive hands on training on the proper techniques involved when inspecting a PFD. Training will include visual inspection, oral inflate inspection, and inflator and CO2 cartridge inspection to ensure that each PFD is in proper working condition. To find out more information, including when the expert sessions will be held, visit the TIBS website at www.torontoboatshow.com/education/diy-seminar-speakers.
