Montana Outdoor Group Announces Shutdown of Montana Rifle Company

Thursday, March 19th, 2020

The Montana Outdoor Group’s subsidiary “Montana Rifle Company” will seek fiscal restructuring.

Kalispell, Montana (March 2020) – Montana Outdoor Group, a private investor group, acquired Montana Rifle Company in early 2019, has announced its immediate closure pending fiscal restructuring.

“While sales of our popular calibers have been outstanding, production levels have not risen to a profitable level to continue, without additional investments,” CEO Calvin Bontrager explained. “New equipment would be required to reach a service level demanded by our dealers and conservation groups.”

Montana Rifle has been producing custom-grade rifles for nearly 25-years and has been awarded “NRA’s Gun of the Year” in 2016 and “NRA’s Gun of the Year” in 2018. Montana Rifle has also produced limited editions for California Waterfowl, SCI, RMEF, and many other conservation organizations.

“With sales of the popular M1999 control feed actions nearly doubling in 2019, Montana Outdoor Group, is actively searching for restructuring opportunities,” Bontrager continued.

TNVC-ABCA (ANVS to BNVS Cable Adapter) for the USSOCOM AN/PVS-31A Now In Stock and Shipping

Thursday, March 19th, 2020

Redlands, California — March 19, 2020

Tactical Night Vision Company (TNVC) is proud to announce that the TNVC-ABCA (ANVS to BNVS Cable Adapter) for the USSOCOM-issued AN/PVS-31A BNVD, also adopted by many law enforcement agencies, as well as the L3Harris GPNVG-18, BNVD-1531, and other night vision devices using the BNVS external power connector is now in stock and shipping!

tnvc.com/shop/tnvc-abca-anvs-bnvd-cable-adapter

The TNVC-ABCA provides a cost effective alternative to proprietary OEM power supplies that allows end users to power night vision devices using a BNVS-style external power connection port* using the AB Night Vision Low Profile Battery Pack–Ground Optimized (LPBP-GO) and AI Air/Ground Warrior remote battery packs or other compatible power supplies using the Legacy LEMO connector, and allowing them to use both AA and CR123 batteries allowing for greater flexibility at a much lower cost than the OEM external power supplies.

Most existing ANVS external power supplies such as the AB Night Vision LPBP-GO utilize an ANVIS-style LEMO connector that is not compatible with the BNVS-style connection used on many next generation night vision devices that cannot be used with their night vision devices, frustrating users**. The cost of OEM BNVS-style power supplies can prohibitive, especially when units are lost or damaged or spares are needed.

While many night vision devices have on board battery capabilities, many end users prefer the extended battery life offered by using external power supplies in conjunction with their night vision devices, especially in colder weather, while devices like the GPNVG-18 have no on board battery capabilities. Furthermore, moving the power supply to the back of the helmet in an external power supply can help to counterweight night vision devices mounted on the front of the helmet, improving user comfort and reducing neck strain and fatigue.

The TNVC-ABCA was developed in partnership with the OEM manufacturer of the BNVS power connector, and features a durable, shielded cable and a rubberized BNVS connector housing and uses authentic OEM connectors rather than aftermarket components.

The TNVC-ABCA is available in both 6” and 8” cable lengths to accommodate a wide range of helmet mounting and cable routing configurations (custom cable lengths available via special order), and available individually for $224.98

Both the 6″ and 8″ versions can also be purchased as a package with the AB Night Vision LPBP-GO and popular TNVC Mohawk MK II Gen. 2 in Multicam, Coyote Tan, Ranger Green, Black, Multicam Black, Multicam Tropic, or Multicam Arid for $549.95, a savings of over $100 over buying the components separately.

Dealer and government/agency pricing available. For all product inquiries or retail or dealer sales, please contact sales@tnvc.com. For military, agency, or government sales, please contact govsales@tnvc.com

*The TNVC-ABCA is not compatible with night vision devices using a LEMO connection port, such as the TNV/RNVG or TNV/PVS-14-PBM-A

**The TNVC-ABCA will work with some, but not all Legacy issued aviation (ANVIS) Low Profile Battery Packs due to production variances in issued-LPBPs, and TNVC, INC. cannot guarantee function with all ANVIS battery packs

CRO Pharmaceuticals Announces the Launch of POLYSERP Next Generation Antivenoms

Wednesday, March 18th, 2020

POLYSERP™ offers freeze-dried unrefrigerated snake antivenoms designed specifically for the treatment of envenomation casualties in operational and austere medicine environments. POLYSERP™ antivenoms come in two broad-spectrum, regionally-specific formulations that are indicated for the treatment of neurotoxic, hemotoxic, and cytotoxic snake envenomations by all of the critical threat species in a given area without the need to identify the snake.

Safe For Field Use

Traditional concerns with antivenoms arose from the high risk of serious reactions such as anaphylaxis, which occurred in as high as 75% of patients treated in some studies on older products. The rate of serious reactions to POLYSERP™ has been reduced to ? 1% thanks to a patented multi-step process of fragmentation, purification, and lyophilization resulting in a product that is free of preservatives and safe enough to administer by direct IV push in a low resource environment.

Unrefrigerated, Freeze-Dried, Field Stable

POLYSERP™ has been designed from the ground up to meet the needs of austere medical providers. Each vial contains a minimum of 500 LD50 neutralization potency against the most dangerous regional snakes. The increased potency allows field providers to treat severe envenomations at the point of injury, reducing the amount of space and weight, while adding an invaluable medical capability.

No Cold-Chain

Snakes are abundant in warm climates due to their cold-blooded physiology, but most antivenoms require constant refrigeration. POLYSERP™ is a next generation product that can be carried in a backpack for 6 months at temperatures exceeding 100º F without any loss of potency, making it the first product that is specifically designed for use in the environments where snakes are most common and disaster is most likely to strike.

BELL V-280 Valor Team Selected To Continue In Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft Competition

Tuesday, March 17th, 2020

U.S. Army awards Bell a contract for competitive demonstration and risk reduction work on a program engineered to deliver exceptional operational capabilities to warfighters at a sustainable cost

Fort Worth, Texas (March 16, 2019) – Bell Textron Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, has been selected as a project agreement holder for the competitive demonstration and risk reduction (CD&RR) effort as part of the U.S. Army’s Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program. Under the agreement Bell will deliver a refined V-280 Valor design, with supporting technical documentation, that builds on the data captured during the more than two years and 170 hours of flight testing under the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstration (JMR TD) program to inform the FLRAA program of record.

“Bell and Team Valor are excited to continue working on a system that has proven its ability to bring exceptional capabilities to warfighters,” said Mitch Snyder, president and CEO at Bell. “The JMR TD and V-280 show that rapid maturation of new technology is possible with a solid government-industry partnership fueled by our talented and innovative workforce. We look forward to the FLRAA competition.”

This contract follows the successful U.S. Army led JMR TD program. As part of that program, Bell managed collaboration with the twelve leading companies that make up Team Valor to enable rapid production, systems integration, and deliberate program schedule to validate the V-280’s flight capabilities and operational relevance. The V-280 achieved all program goals, demonstrating its speed by flying above 300 knots and demonstrating low speed agility attitude quickness per ADS-33F-PRF. These characteristics are important to inform FLRAA program requirements to ensure the program will help warfighters meet the challenges of future multi-domain fights.

“This is an important milestone in the history of Bell and Army aviation. We are honored to be part of it,” said Keith Flail, vice president, Advanced Vertical Lift Systems at Bell. “The next phase is an opportunity for this team to build on the success of the last six years and continue to bring the proof that we can provide transformative capabilities to our Army in line with their stated goal of 2030.”

The V-280 Valor was developed in support of the government Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program, the Army’s number three modernization priority area. The FLRAA program is meant to produce a medium-lift utility rotorcraft replacement with transformational speed, power, and maneuverability, at a sustainable cost, to active duty and reserve aviation units.
