    Travelers Rest, SC – December 21, 2016 – Rugged Suppressors, the company that created the industry’s first-­ever modular rifle suppressor with the Surge 762, has now launched its little brother — the Razor 762.

    At 6.4” long and weighing in at 15.3oz, the Razor is the shortest and lightest suppressor in its class. It’s built for enthusiasts and sportsmen who want maximum maneuverability and weight savings. Not to mention, rugged durability.

    “We set the bar high with the Surge 762,” says Henry Graham, President. “While building the Razor, we focused on creating a light weight and compact suppressor that features a deep tone, back pressure-reducing design. The Razor really hits the mark on each of these.”

    Constructed entirely of 17-4PH Stainless Steel and featuring a full circumference welded Stellite baffle core, the Razor comes more than ready for any caliber up to .300 RUM.

    Like its modular brother, the Razor 762 comes with an Unconditional Lifetime Warranty and a Dual Taper Lock Mounting System that ensures wobble-free firing.

    Michael Derdizak, CEO of Rugged Suppressors explains, “The Razor, like the Surge 762, carries the title of Belt Fed Rated. This classification of suppressor rating was pioneered by Rugged and serves to illustrate just how durable our products are in comparison to the competition.”

    The Razor 762 is available immediately for shipping with a suggested retail price of $950. Visit Razor762.com for more information or to find a dealer near you.

    AMABILIS Iconic Load Haulers

    December 21st, 2015

    I’ve known Brian Abrams since 1991 and I’ve been buying his products ever since. He’s a great outdoorsman, athelete and designer. I was also friends with Brian’s best friend and business partner Dave Ruiz who was taken away from us way before his time. Make sure you check out Brian’s new stuff, incluidng this bag, that honors Dave.

    ENUMCLAW, Washington – AMABILIS, a new entry to performance driven apparel and load hauling solutions, is headed by tactical/military industry veteran Brian Abrams. Abrams gained recognition for innovative design while at Adventure Tech, a company he founded in 1991 and sold in 2007. His products were widely used throughout the Spec Op community and a few of his more noteworthy designs include the Marine Corps IWCS (Inclement Weather Combat Shirt and 3SSS(3 Season Sleep System).

    In keeping with this heritage, Abrams recently launched AMABILIS, a lifestyle brand anchored in authenticity and inspired by Dave Ruiz, a former Marine and Abrams’ best friend and business partner who passed away unexpectedly in 2012. First to hit the market is their modern re-make of the iconic classic military duffel bag, appropriately named “The Dave” Duffel.

    The Dave and Dave Jr (smaller version) pays homage to the standard issue military duffel with it’s cylindrical shape and unique 4-way folding end panel closure system complete with mil-spec metal hardware. That however is where the similarities end and The Dave takes it’s refined, fashion forward good looks and bombproof durability to another level.

    Whiskey 5 – Radical Firearms

    December 21st, 2015

    Who

    Radical Firearms. We’re a Title II NFA Gun Manufacturer and retail operation with a complete—and growing—lineup of pistols, rifles, shotguns, silencers, and machine guns. We manufacture this line of our line of custom built AR-15s, AR-10s, bolt guns and silencers in house. We are a true manufacturer, not an assembly shop, with a fully tooled and operational gunsmithing facility. Our employees, 80% of whom are veterans because of our veteran hiring preference, are passionate about what they do and knowledgeable enough to do it extraordinarily well.

    RadicalFirearms_tt

    What

    Radical began as a hobby. We started as Kyle Richie’s small shop, handling FFL transfers in a modest retail space while building high end ARs and bolt guns for choosy buyers with specific needs. We then brought in another black gun aficionado, David Spector, who knew workaday guns and business. We soon began to buy CNC machines to create better tolerances for the some of the pieces we were assembling in house (the first piece was a gas block). After selling enough gas blocks we bought more machines to manufacture other parts. With more CNC machine purchases we began hiring passionate employees. We started to realize we were creating our own parts at a fraction of the cost, which allowed us to pass the savings on to our customers. We now offer a great selection of firearms and parts that are built here in Texas for the most discerning firearms enthusiast and professional. From Military/Law Enforcement to 3Gun participants we are sure to have some thing that will meet your needs and budget—and we can do for as little as half the cost of other manufacturers. Don’t believe it? Visit the facility and watch us build your specific rifle start to finish.

    When

    Radical Firearms started in Texas, 2012 and the first CNC machine was purchased in 2013. We are proud to have grown from a small shop to selling 2000 rifles per month with over 50 employees in just three years.

    Where

    Radical Firearms is located in 4413 Bluebonnet Suite 8 Stafford, TX 77477. Check our site for hours for the store. We have been in Stafford the whole time, at same facility, in the same building. All of our principals are native Texans.

    Radicalfirearms_details

    Why

    Simply put, there’s a need, and because there are many rifle “manufacturers” who are disingenuous at best. Some source their parts from other manufacturers (including us) and put them together Lego fashion. Some source their parts the same way, then claim they’re built internally. We build our guns from muzzle device back, and really the actual manufacturing process. We have substantially less tolerance stacking than many manufacturers and can better control quality because everything is right there, cut to fit everything else exactly. You’re not going to find a couple thousandths off here and a couple thousandths off there on a Radical rifle. The team in our factory and store take pride in their work and thoroughly enjoy being part of the community. Besides building firearms for the public we have also begun to provide rifles to various law enforcement agencies in Texas and are the official rifle of the Texas Tactical Police Officers Association (TTPOA). Being part of the community is some thing in which we take pride; part of that is being a good neighbor. Our philanthropy work has raised a lot of money. We have as many as five rifle giveaways a month for various charities, from the families of fallen LEOs to families who lost everything during the recent flooding.
