May 23rd, 2018SIG SAUER Launches Components Line for Precision Handloaders
May 22nd, 2018Newington, N.H. (May 21, 2018) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is now manufacturing premium pistol and rifle ammunition components for precision handloaders at its state-of-the-art ammunition facility in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
Elite Performance Ammunition shell cases are engineered to exacting tolerances and available for multiple pistol calibers (primed or unprimed) and rifle calibers (unprimed). The geometric consistency of these premium brass cases ensures each primer is held tightly in its pocket. Flash holes are precise with no burrs and the superior metallurgical properties of the SIG SAUER cases enable repeated reloading. All Elite Performance rifle shell cases are induction annealed for consistent bullet retention.
“Each brass case undergoes rigorous in-line and post production quality assurance testing to ensure a flawless casing,” said Brad Criner, Senior Director, Brand Management and Business Development, SIG SAUER Ammunition. “The result is unparalleled durability and dependability.”
Pistol component cases are available, primed or unprimed, in bags of 100 in the following calibers: 380 Auto, 9mm Luger, 357 SIG, 38 Spl, 357 Mag, 40 S&W, 10mm, 45 Auto.
Rifle component cases are unprimed and available in bags of 50 in the following calibers: 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 243 Win, 300 BLK, 300 Win Mag, 308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor. Coming soon in: 270 Win and 30-06 SPRG.
All SIG SAUER Elite Performance Ammunition and Components are manufactured by SIG SAUER at its new state-of-the-art ammunition manufacturing facility in Jacksonville, Arkansas to the same exacting standards as the company’s premium pistols and rifles.

SOFIC 18 – Team Wendy M-216 Ski SAR Helmet
May 22nd, 2018Although the M-216 Ski Search and Rescue Helmet was released last November, Team Wendy is looking at some color options for the future.
They dipped one helmet in MultiCam Alpine and the other in Black (the lighting at the show makes the colors seem off), to see which one SOFIC-goers prefer. What do you think?
SOFIC 18 – Geissele Automatics 10.3” URG
May 22nd, 2018
This is the 10.3” Upper Receiver Group from Geissele Automatics. They look at it as a Mk18 replacement. It features a 9.3” Mk 16 rail, Airborne charging handle, a Daniel Defense Cold Hammer Forged Barrel, high speed selector and SSF trigger. But take a look at the lower, Geissele sells this as a complete rifle and just a URG. Currently, that means only government customers.
You may also notice the color, which they call Luna Black.

SOFIC 18 – Crye Precision Debuts Hot Weather and Temperate Shell Garments
May 22nd, 2018At SOFIC, Crye Precision debuted their new Hot Weather Combat and Field Uniforms as well as Temperate Shell Jacket and Combat Pants.
I look at the HW Combat as a Desert Uniform, HW Field as a Jungle Uniform and the Temperate as a replacement for the G3 All Weather Uniform. You’ll notice some design similarities with the new G4 garments such as the internal pockets. Despite looks, that new pocket design has just as much carrying capacity as the old style.
Made from the same Burlington fabric selected by USSOCOM for hot weather uniforms, Crye utilized two different weights (3.5 and 4.5 oz) of the material to mitigate wear in high abrasion areas (knee, seat and elbows). It is very breathable at about 30 CFM.
Pockets feature button closures and the pockets are lined with mesh for drainage. Additionally, the pants integrate an internal mesh gaiter for bugs.
The Combat Shirt and Pant use similar base fabrics as the Field Uniform with the addition of VTX ripstop stretch and 3.5 oz with Polyester wicking material in the padded waist for the Pant and Polartec polyester mesh with X-static for the Shirt.
The goal was to lighten the weight, so they stripped away the back pockets and calf pocket. They also use the same buttoned shoulder pocket as in the HW Field Shirt.
Designed for for cool, windy, wet conditions, this is a super lightweight replacement for the all weather garments. It’s made from a 4 oz nylon with integrated stretch.
The Shell Jacket is a hybrid shirt/jacket replacing both Field and Combat shirts. It features Thumb holes at the sleeve cuff and Large internal front pockets.
Color Choices
The Field Uniform will be offered in MultiCam and Tropic while the Combat Uniform will be offered in MultiCam and Arid. However, as they share fabrics, special orders of the garments in Arid and Tropic will be easier. The Temperate uniform will be available in all standard Crye colors.
Availability
On a final note, last ok for these new items by the end of the year, while G4 is currently beginning production.
