Anteris Alliance(2A): an organizational network of patriot manufacturers and service providers bonded by their dedication to support our Veterans and First Responders and their families through the manufacture and market insertion of top quality products and services!

Post Falls, ID. (June 29, 2017) – www.anterisalliance.com Anteris Alliance, LLC was founded in early 2017, after a small group of companies decided to work together to do more than they could accomplish by themselves from product demonstrations, customer events, and ultimately Veterans and First Responder support. Already, with over 47 brands and counting, the mission has taken hold at every level. Whether as a manufacturer or service provider, a buyer, or a patriot there is a way for everyone to be part of this great movement!

American Pouch Converters Inc is honored and humbled to be part of Anteris Alliance. We are a company fierce in American traditions and values and what better way to put our packaging expertise to work than in the alliance helping other Veterans, First Responders and their families. We understand that together we are stronger and bring more value to the marketplace and we live by the saying, “we have your back”. The companies in the alliance are producing and marketing quality goods and those goods need a package that allows its brand to stand tall amongst other brands. We specialize in small to medium runs of custom and stock pouches and other packaging items that are an important part of any brand. Too many small to medium size businesses are told they have to order a large amount of custom pouches and that eats up valuable capital needed to grow their businesses. Our mission statement, which can be found on our website; https://www.americanpouchconverters.com/about-us and says it all. We are always available to assist our customers (family as we look at them) whether it be packaging or business strategies. Visit us at https://americanpouchconverters.com and learn more about us.

“As a fellow Disabled American Veteran and business owner, there is nothing more important to companies like ours than to know they have a valuable source who is there for them no matter the situation. We will go the extra mile and be a solid partner and not just another supplier. We are committed to hiring veterans whenever possible as they understand hard work, teamwork and commitment to the mission.” – Jim Andrasic, Co-Founder/Chief Operating Officer, American Pouch Converters Inc

“American Pouch Converters brings a product and a service into the Alliance which is beneficial for our collective manufacturing companies, and is a further testament to the diversification of the Alliance into multiple channels due to the common bond of supporting our Veteran and First Responder brothers and sisters!” – stated Casey Betzold, CEO of Anteris Alliance. “We are so pleased to have yet another Veteran owned organization as part of the greater mission and family!”

Haley Strategic Partners – D3CRX In Woodland

It features an X harness, two of their adaptable Multi-Mission pouches and a full field of Velcro at the rear to accommodate D3CR accessories as well as assist in the full contact connection with plate carriers. However, the D3CRX does not include a dedicated radio or medical pouch, rather intending those items to be on your first line belt.

Stuff I Like – Camber 107 Pant from Mountain Khakis

July 5th, 2017

I was first introduced to the Camber 107 pant by Dave Kramer of Über Group a few years ago at Outdoor Retailer. They’ve since become my daily wear pant.

They feature an external cell phone pocket on right thigh, chap-style double-layer knee panels with integrated articulation at the knees. They also offer a diamond-shaped crotch and “Mudflap” reinforced heel cuffs. There are six pockets in all including the two rear patch pockets, phone pocket, two front pockets with plenty of room at the opening to get your hand in, and a watch pocket at the right. 

The material is a very comfy 9oz, 98% cotton/2% spandex canvas which has been given an enzyme wash to improve the hand. 

The Camber 107 are also quite roomy in the thighs. I think they revised the fit at some point because my first two pairs are a slimmer fit than the ones I purchased later. Also, the thigh patch pocket will fit most phones and has a silver snap closure at the center of the opening. If you don’t snap it, you will notice a slight ‘ding’ when you walk from the two halves of the snap hitting one another. Keep it snapped and it’s no problem.

Offered in Yellowstone (seen above), Slate, Terra and Tobacco. Sizing is 30-36 every size and 38-44 even sizes with 30-36 inch even inseams.

SIG SAUER Introduces MCX VIRTUS

July 5th, 2017

Advanced Modularity and Design Results in More than 500 Configurations

Newington, N.H. (July 3 2017) – SIG SAUER, Inc., The Complete Systems Provider™, unveils the MCX VIRTUS in 5.56 NATO and 300 BLK, a platform engineered and built to be the most adaptive, accurate and longest-lasting rifle available.

The original SIG MCX rifle, conceived for the demands of the Special Operations community, quickly became known in the firearms world because of its durable performance and end-user configurability. To enhance the design, SIG received feedback from Special Operations units throughout the world and made the most advanced rifle ever built, even better. The result is the MCX VIRTUS.

“SIG has supplied firearms to meet the unique demands of specialized units for decades,” said Ron Cohen, President and CEO of SIG SAUER. “Similar to the P320® pistol, the MCX VIRTUS was created to be the ultimate modular platform, a design that will change the demands of the modern rifle for years to come.”

In ancient Rome, “Virtus” stood for virtue, courage, bravery and excellence. The MCX VIRTUS embodies the spirit of the professional users who have depended on and continue to rely on the MCX in the field. The added features and enhancements of the MCX VIRTUS include increasing accuracy, delivering additional modularity and providing a service life of more than 20,000 rounds, all without a single part replacement. Between barrels, stocks, handguards and colors, the MCX VIRTUS can be configured over 500 different ways for any possible need or mission.

Available in Patrol, Pistol and SBR variants, in Stealth Gray or FDE color, the MCX VIRTUS utilizes the proven SIG SAUER short-stroke piston system and unique internal recoil system that eliminates the M4-style buffer tube. The result is a compact, light-recoiling platform that can be configured for any task.

Cold hammer-forged barrels, available in 9”, 11.5” and 16” lengths, feature an advanced interchangeable design and can be exchanged at the operator level. To increase accuracy, the barrels are of a heavier contour profile. Also assisting with accuracy is the new SIG Matchlite Duo trigger, a two-stage unit that provides the shooter with a crisp, clean feel. A new tapered bolt lug design results in smoother cycling and extends the bolt life. Capping off the upgrades are eight (8) new free-floating M-LOK handguards available in standard and suppressor-ready configurations.

Built by SIG for professionals and shooters of any level, the MCX VIRTUS is ready for any mission.
