January 21st, 2020IWI US Releases New ZION 15
January 21st, 2020The all-new ZION 15 is the first IWI US rifle fully manufactured and assembled completely in the United States of America.
Middletown, PA. (January 20, 2020)- IWI US, a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd, has just released the first IWI US rifle manufactured and assembled entirely in the United States.
IWI US is pleased to introduce their first M4 variant rifle, the ZION 15. The ZION 15 is a 16in Tactical Rifle that includes a 15in Free Float MLOK Handguard, a B5 Systems Stock, and Grip, and includes one (1) 30 round Magpul PMAG. The ZION 15 is what America loves in a rifle, with the IWI signature quality control and attention to detail. Built to a stringent military specification set forth by the US and IDF forces for operation, the ZION 15 will meet the expectation of today’s marketplace worldwide.
The IWI US ZION 15 was developed as the flagship model to ensure that production of IWI products will continue in the USA, even if the shipment of foreign-produced firearms becomes restricted. The creation and production of the ZION 15 is in no way an attempt to divert business from Israel, but an attempt to stay true to the IWI roots and continue to support Israel despite the impending threat of restrictions.
“This is a great step forward for IWI US and our supporters. IWI/SK Group has invested a significant amount of time and money into this process in order to have a long-standing business venture in the United States and to continue to serve the American public with high-quality firearms well into the future. The ZION 15 and the manufacturing equipment it brings, fully establishes IWI US roots here in the United States.” Jeremy Gresham, Director of Sales and Marketing of IWI US stated.
The ZION 15 has an MSRP of $899.99. Additional information can be found at the IWI US website, here iwi.us/product/ZION-15.
SHOT Show 20 – Crye Precision
January 21st, 2020Just like every year in the past we begin with Crye Precision. The most new thing in the Booth is G4 Hot Weather clothing.
With an ensemble that consists of Field Shirt and Pants as well as Combat Shirt and Pants, the G4 Hot Weather is made from a combination of Polartec Power Dry mesh jersey with X-static anti-microbial fibers as well as two weights of Apocalypse fabric with the heavier weight for high wear areas on the Field Pant and Apocalypse and VTX Ripstop at high wear areas on the Combat Pant. Additionally, the Field Pant incorporates a gaiter at the bottom hem.
These will be offered in MultiCam and Ranger Green, sizes XS-3X, Short – XLong.
With the Combat Shirt, the design was kept as close to a base layer t-shirt as possible. You’ll definitely note the exposed buttons on pockets rather than the low profile Velcro fasteners. This is because in a jungle environment Velcro just doesn’t work as well due to being constantly wet and picking up errant material.
Next up is G4 Combat and Field apparel in new colors Khaki, Ranger Green and Black. Same new cut and VTX ripstop fabric, just additional colors.
We’ll wrap up with the LRB (Load Rated Belt), LRB Leg Loops and ASR (Adjustable Safety Restraint) Lanyard. These were developed for a USSOCOM requirement.
The LRB is rated to 15kN and offered in sizes S-XL in MultiCam, Coyote, Ranger Green and Black. Combined with the Leg Loops it forms a EN-12277 Compliant Climbing Harness. The ASR Lanyard is rated to 15 kN and adjustable from 18″-30″.
The Leg Loops are offered in SM/MD and L/XL in Coyote and Black and the ASR Lanyard is one-size in Coyote or Black.
