Nomad Releases Durawool NXT Base Layers

Sunday, October 12th, 2025

Merino wool blended with nylon and spandex stays warm with soft stretch fit

CHARLESTON, SC. – Nomad Outdoor released its new base layer system, Durawool NXT.

Made of a blend of 60% Merino wool, 36% Nylon and 4% spandex, Durawool NXT base layers give 4-way stretch and mobility for soft, warm comfort under hunting gear in full season chill and late-season cold.

Both upper and lower pieces of Durawool base layers are thermo-regulating for large temperature swings that can happen during fall and early winter hunts. The highly breathablematerial helps transport moisture away from your skin, to keep you dry even when on the move.

“A high-quality base layer is super important for your comfort in the field,” said Nomad Outdoor marketing director Mike Tussey. “Our Durawool NXT pairs perfectly with any of our in-field gear and helps you stay in the stand longer, for when the big bucks start moving.”

The long-sleeve Durawool NXT crew is gusseted under the arms for enhanced mobility. It comes in Overland Trek tan and retails for $90.

The Durawool NXT leggings are designed for a snug, comfortable fit under hunting clothes to keep you warm and dry. Also available in Overland Trek, the leggings retail for $80.

ASA Files Lawsuit Challenging the Constitutionality of the National Firearms Act

Sunday, October 12th, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, The American Suppressor Association (ASA), National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), and Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced the filing of a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act of 1934 (NFA). The case, Jensen v. ATF, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

This complaint asserts that, with the removal of the excise tax on constitutionally protected arms like suppressors and short-barreled rifles, the NFA registration regime can no longer be upheld as a legal exercise of Congress’s taxing power.

The lawsuit also contends that the NFA registry on protected arms constitutes a violation of the Second Amendment. The Supreme Court has ruled that all firearms regulations must be consistent with our nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation. According to the plaintiffs, there is no such tradition that supports the NFA’s registration regime.

“Since 1934, the NFA has imposed unconstitutional restrictions on law-abiding Texans and Americans,” said Knox Williams, President and Executive Director of the American Suppressor Association. “Now that the excise tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles has been removed, the registration regime is unlawful. ASA is fighting to uphold the Second Amendment rights of all Americans, and we will not stop until suppressors and other lawful firearms and accessories are no longer subject to unconstitutional regulations or registration requirements.”

The plaintiffs in the case include the Texas State Rifle Association, FPC Action Foundation, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, Hot Shots Custom LLC, and three individuals.

INVISIO Signs Framework Agreement Worth Up to SEK 365 Million with Netherlands MoD

Friday, October 10th, 2025

The customer estimates the value of the agreement for the first five years at approximately SEK 260 million, rising to SEK 365 million in the event of a two-year extension. The agreement includes no guarantees regarding volumes.

Lars Højgård Hansen, INVISIO CEO, said: “We are proud that the defence forces in the Netherlands have chosen INVISIO.

Forward Controls Design and Revival Defense Expand RF Line with 1×16 LH A1 Variants

Friday, October 10th, 2025

Forward Controls Design, in collaboration with Revival Defense, has added two new members to the RF family: the 6315RF-A1-LH and 6310RF-A1-LH. Both models are built around the 1×16 LH suppressor standard, bringing A1-style geometry to left-hand threaded suppressor users while preserving the RF series’ compact, dual-role character that defines the line. The RF series has consistently offered practical devices that provide A2-level flash suppression with improved control and reduced ground signature. Earlier models such as the 6315RF and 6310RF feature a closed bottom, mimicking the A2 birdcage to minimize dust signature. The new A1-LH variants depart from that format, incorporating omni-directional porting. Their 360-degree layout provides slightly better flash performance, ensures even dispersion of gasses in all directions, and removes the need for timing during installation.

The A1-LH variants use a 1×16 LH suppressor mount compatible with silencers that feature the integral 1×16 LH mounting system. Examples include CAT QD silencers, the CGS SCI SIX, and the Cobalt Scrambler QD. They can also be adapted for HUB-style silencers using mounts such as the CAT TSFX and AI HUB QD. This approach provides direct compatibility with modern QD suppressor ecosystems without additional adapters.

Both the 6315RF-A1-LH (1/2×28) and 6310RF-A1-LH (5/8×24) are machined from 17-4 PH steel, finished in black nitride, and measure under 1.8 inches in length. Standard wrench flats simplify installation, and a blind hole is included for optional pinning to 16-inch overall builds. Like the rest of the RF line, these products are designed and manufactured in the United States of America.

Availability
The 6315RF-A1-LH and 6310RF-A1-LH are available now through Revival Defense, who partnered with Forward Controls Design on the RF series from its inception. Customers are encouraged to purchase through Revival Defense for immediate stock and shipping.
