VZ Grips the original innovator (and authority) for custom G10 gun grips is proud to announce its newest artistically crafted product. The VZ KeyMod grips (KMG). The KMG’s are attachable grip panels for your favorite KeyMod platform. They are precision machined in VZ’s very sought after proprietary textures and G10 colors. With innovation and function as their leading edge VZ did not just bring you their best, but partnered up with gun accessory giant Bravo Company USA® to bring even more to the table. All KMG’s feature BCM’s new patent pending Inverted KeyMod screw. Designed by Eric Kincel, BCM’s Director of Product Development and designer of the KeyMod system. BCM’s proprietary nut-less screw is an awesome feature for the KMG’s; it eliminates extra hardware and uses a T15 torx head that is already a standard for many of the VZ grip screws.

“We have been observing the rifle market for some time, and saw that there was a general lack of functional grip panels for the newer rail systems. We decided to design a product that would offer a true solution and when we partnered with BCM to utilize their proprietary KeyMod screw it was a no-brainer. Just another competitive advantage for us and a better product for the shooter.” -John VanZyck (President, VZ Inc.)

UPDATED – US Government Sues L3 Communications for Fraud Involving EOTech Sights – L3 Settles for $25.6 Million

November 24th, 2015

We can finally tell you the rest of the story regarding L3 Communications’ EOTech Sights.  The Department of Justice has been investigating EOTech for some time and has finally filed suit (US v. L-3 Communications EOTech Inc., 15-cv-09262) in US District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Specifically, the Government’s allegations concentrate on the performance of the Holographic Weapon Sights at temperature extremes as well as in high moisture environments. The Government also claims that EOTEch failed to disclose testing that demonstrated the inaccuracy issues in those environments.

In addition to naming L-3 and EOTech as defendants in the Government’s suit, they also named EOTech’s president, Paul Mangano which isn’t very common. They are seeking unspecified triple damages plus civil penalties of as much as $11,000 for each fraudulent claim.

L-3 has been aware of the pending action, having mentioned the issue in their July 2015 SEC filing as well as setting aside $26 million.

Update – By mid-afternoon, L-3 had settled with the government for $25.6 million which clearly indicates L-3 has known since summer how much the US Government would be willing to accept in relief. Their quick action helped turn a drop in stock value of more than 6% at mid-day, yet they still closed the day down from opening prices.

What remains, is for L-3 to answer to domestic consumers, state and local governments as well as international customers.

Below is the filing. In suggest you read it. The Government’s case is compelling.
