Christensen Arms Unveils Brand New Flash Forged Technology

January 17th, 2022

Gunnison, Utah – (January 17, 2022) Over the past 25 years, Christensen Arms has consistently been at the forefront of firearm innovation and wildlife conservation efforts. From the introduction of the carbon-fiber wrapped barrel to financial support of leading wildlife conservation groups, Christensen Arms is always finding new ways to improve the shooter’s experience while protecting our beloved hobbies and traditions.

“For 2022, the newest innovation from Christensen Arms is Flash Forged Technology (FFT) which represents the latest in carbon fiber structural manufacturing,” said Jason Christensen, CEO of Christensen Arms. “Instead of maintaining the status quo of “overbuilding” a product to meet safety standards, Flash Forged Technology employs an engineering approach to achieve the lightest possible structure while exceeding crucial strength and safety margins.”

PUTTING THE FUTURE OF COMPOSITES IN PRACTICE:

Utilizing an aerospace monocoque shell, Flash Forged Technology eliminates unnecessary internal weight. The result is a FFT designed stock that is up to a full pound lighter than traditionally manufactured carbon fiber composite rifle stocks – creating a more consistent shooting foundation while reducing user fatigue in the field. Flash Forged Technology is available exclusively on select Christensen Arms firearms.

TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPPORTS WILDLIFE CONSERVATION:

With conservation being at the forefront, Flash Forged Technology also results in greater environmental sustainability as it was created to save energy and eliminate waste. Utilizing automated processes and virgin recyclable materials, FFT is truly 100% zero-waste manufacturing. Trimmed composites are repurposed into new carbon fiber parts without producing harmful toxins or emissions. This new technology helps support Christensen Arms goal of wildlife conservation by reducing our environmental impact and protecting our lands and wildlife for the enjoyment of future generations – all while creating a superior product.

Flash Forged Technology is available exclusively on select Christensen Arms firearms for 2022: the Mesa FFT, Mesa FFT Titanium, Ridgeline FFT, Ridgeline FFT Titanium and Ridgeline FFT Scout.

Introducing: The TASKER Network

January 17th, 2022

The time has come for Tactics & Applications to enter the next phase in its evolution. We are enthused to present the fruits of our latest endeavor: the TASKER Network.

Tasker – Noun: One who performs or delegates a task.

TASKER is a project that culminates all of what Tactics & Applications and Lightfighter have collectively accomplished over the years and provides it to the 2A community in a centralized and easy to navigate format. It is an aggregate resource of content, communication, and networking.

At TASKER, we believe in being inclusive of our friends and the extended family they form throughout the industry, and we honor them by showcasing their contributions to the greater community, as we are all in the 2A movement together.

Just as Tactics & Applications has done on Facebook, with news drawn from a slate of the best publications our industry currently has to offer, along with native original content and accompanied by the Lightfighter.net forum, TASKER gives the audience a place to simultaneously learn and discuss the subject matter among a community respected and renown for the highest standards of information and the performance and capability that information enables.

All of this, all in one place, all beyond the auspices of social media, a realm that has become increasingly hostile towards the firearms industry and its constituents over the last two years.

In addition to facilitating the flow and circulation of high quality information among end users, TASKER also provides a portal for commerce, where our followers can finally purchase branded merchandise that’s been requested of us over the years.

As we approached the development of our Webstore, we chose to utilize WooCommerce as the store platform rather than Shopify, as an act of solidarity in standing with our friends in the 2A vendor circuit who were unjustly inconvenienced and turned away from Shopify when they turned their noses up at the firearms industry. “Stick together” isn’t a mere platitude at TASKER, but a practice.

In addition to these services, TASKER will provide an apparatus for industry personnel to communicate and network towards furthering the development of their wares and concepts, all amongst themselves, to ensure they can both hear and be heard by their colleagues however they deem appropriate. This utility would be akin to a trade show in a wholly online setting, secure, and available year round. This same feature will also be available for those who wish to sponsor or archive their technical content for ease of access and distribution among their target audience.

TASKER is what the industry and greater 2A community needed ten years ago: A network where they could come and learn and discuss from and with the best of the best, to set the standard proper, and then elevate that standard, without the interference of self interest and lesser quality wannabe authorities muddying the waters and skewing the signal to noise ratio, as we’ve seen elsewhere on social media. A place where the end user and the quality of information and products they receive is the priority over the individual entities delivering it to them, towards elevating the readiness capability of that audience, in the spirit of our second amendment: armed professional and armed citizen alike, Taskers either way.

TASKER will be the face of all of our in-house endeavors and the presentation thereof going forward. You can find us and links to all aforementioned content and information sources at www.taskernetwork.com

Welcome to TASKER.
