    bg101_11_1

    Boston, Massachusetts – May 17, 2018 – Blauer continues its 80-year tradition of redefining expectations with the first-ever law enforcement duty bag backpack, the Silent Partner™.

    The groundbreaking design includes interior touches such as headrest straps which turn the flap of the backpack into a seatback organizer (complete with a custom-made hook to hang a police uniform hat or safety vest on, a clip for POV or other keys, paperwork dividers, and zippered mesh pockets for cuffs and two pen slots), along with additional storage. The lower interior part of the bag, which sits flat on the seat, open for easy access, has an insulated food and beverage space, adjustable Velcro dividers, and is big enough to store a loaded duty belt.

    On the outside, the innovation continues with a protective vacuum-molded armor plate storage pocket, padded laptop/tablet pocket with easy access, adaptive closure side bungee pockets which allow the storage of larger items such as a water bottle or flashlight, and a slash pass-through on the bottom to accommodate a seatbelt to secure the bag to the passenger seat of a vehicle. Quiet YKK zippers help to ensure durable performance, and a padded, ventilated back cushion and shoulder straps provide comfort when carrying gear.

    Arnold Defense displays FLETCHER on a Polaris DAGOR at SOFIC 2018

    Friday, May 18th, 2018

    Tampa, Florida, USA – May 17, 2018: Arnold Defense, the St Louis based international manufacturer and supplier of 2.75-inch rocket launchers, is showing a concept named the “FLETCHER” 2.75-inch/70mm Weapon System at SOFIC, at the Tampa Convention Center, Florida, from May 21-24, 2018. The FLETCHER system can be mounted on land-based military vehicles as well as base defense platforms. The FLETCHER Laser Guided Rocket Launcher System can be seen at SOFIC on the BAE Systems booth SD33, where it is displayed on a Polaris DAGOR® ultra-light tactical vehicle for the very first time.

    The FLETCHER concept is supported by a team of global defense industry companies collaborating under Arnold’s leadership to combine their complimentary expertise. Working together, the team is able to provide a full-system approach to FLETCHER ranging from design, validation, testing, manufacture and full system integration in a variety of ground-to-ground engagement scenarios.

    2FC51A00-36F8-46D4-894A-BF9645099659

    FLETCHER is a unique design that allows for ease of operation, maintenance and sustainment in support of combat operations. FLETCHER employs an existing suite of guidance modules, rockets and warheads which are already used in well-known programs and are readily available to global forces. Working in-concert with world-class designation equipment, FLETCHER is a fully integrated weapon system that can engage targets at ranges up to 5 kilometers giving land forces capability that previously required the deployment of air assets.

    Jim Hager, President and CEO of Arnold Defense said “Since launching FLETCHER in London, UK, last September, we have been showing it all around the world where it is garnering significant interest, especially from special operations military units. Our rocket launchers are already well-established on airborne platforms internationally. Transitioning onto the land (on both vehicular and dismounted roles) and also into marine environments, with FLETCHER, is a natural progression for us and will provide these forces with a completely new capability.”

    He added: “FLETCHER is a very exciting new development for Arnold Defense and our team partners. We’re expecting to have the FLETCHER system ready for sale towards the end of 2018”.

The term of Remington’s previous Board of Directors expired upon emergence and a new Board of Directors shall be appointed immediately.

    TNVC Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Their Riser Stock Pouch (RSP)

    Thursday, May 17th, 2018

    Vic Di Cosola sent me a brief history behind the RSP.  

    Approximately 10 years ago when I started to see more and more pics of our Brothers and Sisters getting re-issued scoped M14’s into Afghanistan (initially without those fancy Sage stocks) were basically using pillows and duct tape to get their cheek welds up, I knew there had to be a better way. The RSP was born!

    As we celebrate the RSP’s 10th anniversary, demand of the RSP is still strong for the M1A lovers out there who need to get their head aligned a bit better with their optics. THANK YOU from all of us here at TNVC who have made the RSP the best solution for this weapon platform.

    Grey Ghost Precision Announces MKII Version of Precision Rifles

    Thursday, May 17th, 2018

    Manufacturer Redesigns Most Popular Rifle Models

    E6F0D618-8122-4F1D-AF59-5DA1F7981A7F

    Lakewood, WA – Grey Ghost Precision, leading manufacturers of accurate, reliable, and attainable weapon systems, is excited to announce the MKII versions of their most popular rifles, The GGP Heavy (.308 WIN), GGP Light (5.56 NATO) and the GRIM (6.5 Creedmoor).

    Grey Ghost spends no time, wasted on production – partnering with only the best in the industry, to ensure that every product that goes out the door is worthy of it’s name, the team at GGP worked tirelessly to revise the previous models, guaranteeing the perfection that we know and expect.

    The GGP Heavy (.308 WIN) is an extremely accurate semi-automatic rifle that fits the specific requests from sources operating in Afghanistan. The team at GGP coupled these demands with evaluations from Special Forces marksmanship instructors, competition shooters and avid hunters, and developed one of the most innovative and cutting-edge rifles in the in the DMR space.

    Built with the GGP MKII 7075-T651 billet upper receiver and GGP MKII 7075-T651 billet ambi lower, the Heavy measures an overall length (with the extended GGP MKII Extended length (15″) M-LOK hand guard) of 38”, and a mere 35” when collapsed; and weighs in at 8.3lbs. It carries a 16″ .308WIN match grade BBL. 1×10 twist, 5/8-24 threaded muzzle with a GGP muzzle brake and Black Nitride coating in and out.

    The GGP Light (5.56 NATO) is a real-world application rifle, which is as effective in home defense as it is on the battlefield. Designed to achieve a durable, reliable, affordable, accurate and attainable 5.56 rifle—all without compromising quality, the light is intended for hard use and everything that goes with it.

    Built with a GGP MKII 7075-T651 billet upper with M4 feed ramps, and a GGP MKII 7075-T651 billet ambi lower, the GGP Light measures an overall length of 37” (stock extended), and 34” (collapsed); with an overall weight of 6.6lbs. Donned with a 16″ 5.56 BBL. 1×8 twist, 1/2-28 threaded muzzle with a GGP muzzle brake, and Black Nitride coating in and out.

    The GGP MKII Grim (6.5 Creedmoor) came to light, after shooters began experiencing the accuracy potential of the Grey Ghost Precision catalog of rifles in other calibers. Several competitive shooters in the precision rifle circuit desired a gas gun that gave their beloved 6.5 Creedmoor round a platform, that maintained all the advantages of a modern semi-automatic sporting rifle – without compromising accuracy, consistency and performance. GGP worked to produce the GRIM, an exceedingly accurate 6.5 Creedmoor rifle that fit the specific requests of experienced snipers and PRS shooters looking for the ultimate tack driving instrument that would not only compete with other 6.5 Creedmoor rifles, but win.

    “We decided that it was time to step away from the proprietary platform of the original GGP rifles, and remove all compromises; making the MKII versions much more user friendly and simplified,” stated Grey Ghost Precision, VP of Firearms, Jason Curns. “With the focus being that of a more simplistic, yet versatile design, the MKII versions are now lighter (almost a full pound less on each platform) and maintain tighter tolerances across the board.”

    Curns, formerly at Mega Arms, was the lead designer in the GGP original platforms, is the brains behind the redesign; cutting everything down to its roots and building up again.
