FireClean v. Fennel / Steel Shield Technologies Settled

April 28th, 2017

Just over a year ago, we reported that FireClean, LLC had sued George Fennell and Steel Shield Technologies in federal court for false advertising. Now, they’ve settled. As is so common in these cases, we’ll never know the details of the agreement, but considering FireClean released a statement first, I’d imagine that they are smiling a little bit more than “Dr” Fennell and Steel Shield Technologies.

FireClean LLC is pleased to announce, in connection with the George Fennell/Steel Shield litigation, that the dispute between the parties has been resolved to their mutual satisfaction.

Best of luck to all involved.

Legal Manufacturing, LLC To Release NIB BATTLEWORN Mod 2 GLOCK 21 At 2027NRA Annual Meeting In Atlanta

April 28th, 2017

Atlanta, GA, April 27, 2017 – Legal Manufacturing, LLC, an industry leader in nickel boron plating is releasing their latest offering, the NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21 at the 2017 NRA Annual Meeting and Exhibits (NRAAM). The NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21 is a factory Glock® modified to enhance the functionality, balance, and assist with weapon manipulation. Legal Manufacturing has added front serrations and weight reducing side and top slide cuts, removed finger grooves, reduced the pistol grip, undercut the trigger guard, stippled texture on the lower grip frame, installed an NIB BATTLEWORN® plated SSVi Tyr trigger which is designed to be the next evolution in an EDC/duty trigger and Glock® factory night sights. The factory Glock® 21 slide is plated in Legal Manufacturing’s patent pending NIB BATTLEWORN® nickel boron. The factory Glock® 21 barrel and optional SilencerCo threaded barrel and cap are plated in a matte variant of Legal Manufacturing, LLC’s proprietary NIB ONE® nickel boron. Legal Manufacturing’s nickel boron plated surfaces reduce the operating friction of the firearm due to the low static coefficient of friction without the need for lubrication. The NIB BATTLEWORN® MOD 2 Glock® 21 is a performance firearm that does not sacrifice Glock® factory reliability.

For 2017 NRAAM, the American Suppressor Association (ASA) has teamed with its sponsors to raise money for ASA by auctioning off five suppressed custom Legal Manufacturing NIB BATTLEWORN® Mod 2 Glock® 21 packages. All five packages are identical, with one notable exception: they each include a suppressor from a different manufacturer: Silencerco Omega45K, Gemtech Lunar 45, Sig Sauer SRD45, Yankee Hill Machine Sidewinder 45 and Rugged Suppressors Obsidian. All proceeds of the auction will go directly towards the ASA’s fight to pass pro-suppressor reform on both the State and Federal Levels.

Legal Manufacturing, LLC is a producer of NIB BATTLEWORN® plating, a low-observable, patent-pending nickel-boron plating treatment that offers superior scratch and wear characteristics while simultaneously reducing friction to aluminum, steel, and titanium firearm surfaces. NIB BATTLEWORN® creates a smooth and uniform plating barrier, increases the surface hardness of the plated part to over 70 Rockwell hardness, and produces a surface that is superior to competing plating systems.

Butler Creek ASAP Magazine Loaders Highlight of NRA Show

April 28th, 2017

OVERLAND PARK, Kansas – April 27, 2017 – Butler Creek, maker of smart, field-proven hunting and shooting accessories, announces the new ASAP Magazine loaders are now available. Come see them and learn why “Shooting USA” host John Scoutten has chosen these loaders as his go-to option at the Vista Outdoor booth (#2542) during the 2017 NRA Meetings and Exhibits Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 27 to 30.

Available in Universal Single Stack, Universal Double Stack, AK-47/GALIL and AR15 magazine configurations these loaders are extremely easy to use and provide speed and relief from “shooter’s thumb.” The Universal Single Stack and Universal Double Stack ASAP loaders work with a large majority of common magazines between 9mm and .45 ACP (including .380 ACP for the Double Stack Loader).

“They are extremely easy to use,” said Butler Creek Product Manager Will Hemeyer. “Simply push the mag loader down, insert the round below the feed lips, and raise the loader up. The cartridge is seated and magazine loaded… just like that.”

The ASAP Universal AR15/M16 Mag Loader offers three ways to load MSR magazines—and none involve the user’s thumbs. Loose ammo can be loaded one round at a time with a simple click into place.

“Or, users can engage the loading arm to expedite the process,” Hemeyer said. “The loading arm can handle up to 10 rounds of loose ammo, or rounds held in a stripper clip. The rounds are locked into the mag with a quick push.”

Consumers can try the new loaders at the 2017 NRA Meetings and Exhibits Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 27 to 30. Butler Creek brand ambassador John Scoutten will be on hand to answer questions. Scoutten is the producer and Emmy award nominee co-host of the Outdoor Channel’s “Shooting USA.” He also competes in multiple shooting events, including NRA Action Pistol, Steel Challenge and the Precision Rifle Series, among others. On Friday, April 28, Scoutten will host a product demonstration at 1 p.m. followed by a question-and-answer session at 1:30 at the Vista Outdoor booth (#2542).

Butler Creek, a Vista Outdoor brand, serves hunters and shooters, offering high-quality accessories such as gun slings, scope covers and more. Learn more at the updated www.butlercreek.com. The site, which is being updated to coincide with the show, features product information as well as tips and a new design that is easier to navigate on all devices.

Savage Arms to Introduce New Firearms at 2017 NRA Annual Meetings and Exhibits Show

April 28th, 2017

SUFFIELD, Conn. – April 25, 2017 – Savage Arms is proud to continue its long tradition of innovation by unveiling an exciting lineup of new high-performance firearms at the 2017 NRA Meetings and Exhibits Show in Atlanta, Georgia, April 27-30. The introductions include bolt-action B Series Hardwood rifles, along with the virtually bulletproof single-shot Stevens 301. Caliber options are also expanded for the popular GRS, BA Stealth and MSR 10 Hunter platforms.

In 2016, Savage took bolt-action rimfire performance to new heights with the B Series rifle. The company adds a B Series Hardwood model for 2017, available in 17 HMR, 22 LR and 22 WMR. All feature a 21-inch Sporter barrel and ergonomic, walnut-stained hardwood stock with unique, modern checkering. A 10-round rotary magazine and Savage’s accuracy-boosting adjustable AccuTrigger are also standard.

The new single-shot Stevens 301 features a crisp, reliable break action and rugged, modern synthetic stock that withstands brutal abuse afield. It is available in .410, 12- and 20-gauge models.

Precision long-range shooters looking for the incredibly accurate, high-speed, low-recoil performance of 6mm Creedmoor will now find it as one of the choices in Savage’s proven Model 10 BA Stealth and Model 10 GRS rifles.

The short-action Model 10 BA Stealth is a lightweight, compact long-range chassis gun featuring a factory-blueprinted Model 10 barreled action mated to a custom version of Drake Associates’ Hunter/Stalker monolithic chassis. For its part, the Model 10 GRS houses a full suite of accuracy-enhancing features firmly within a GRS stock made of 15 percent fiberglass-reinforced Durethan, with 65 percent glass bedding material.

Serious hunters know the fast, hard-hitting .338 Federal delivers the range and terminal energy to topple any North American big game animal. For 2017, Savage adds the hotshot short-action cartridge as an option for its MSR 10 Hunter, a lightweight modern sporting rifle purpose-built for high-powered big game performance.

These products and many more can be viewed during the NRA Show at the Vista Outdoor booth no. 2542.

Please Support AmericanSnipers.org

April 28th, 2017

Since 2003, AmericanSnipers.org has been providing specialized equipment support to military sniper teams. While they sponsor the occassional raffle, much of their funding comes from direct donations. In years past, they would raise quite a bit of money at SHOT Show through the sales of coins, patches and other memorabilia, but SHOT Show has stopped the practice. There’s essentially no overhead with this 501(c)3 Nonprofit with donations used to buy the gear the guys need. Now, with donations down, members of the organization are dipping into their own pockets to support units. Soon, AS.org may have to do something it’s never done before, and that’s say, “No” to a unit requesting help. Please, help out. Check out the website for multiple ways to support this fine organization.
