Average Guy Solutions is a firearms components manufacturer founded by a former employee of BMI Defense Systems. Their first product line consists of two Improved Front Sight Posts for AR-15 rifles, the Legionnaire and Hoplite. These posts are machined from 416 stainless steel and finished with a Melonite process, providing a durable, non-reflective, corrosion-resistant finish. These posts are designed to offer an increased speed of sight acquisition, increased precision, and increased durability over the stock AR-15 front sight post.
The Legionnaire was the first configuration developed, providing a full pyramid sight for faster target acqusistion. It features a scoring line around the circumference to aid in setting mechanical zero. Its unique shape makes it incompatible with most available front sight tools, however users can still install and adjust the Legionnaire with the use of a 5.56 round.
The Hoplite is designed to offer the same precision as the Legionnaire, however it features a base that will interface with many current sight adjustment tools.
ONTARIO, California – Safariland, the worldwide leader in retention holsters, is honored to win the 2015 Brilliance Award for Best Tactical Holster by OpticsPlanet, Inc. for its 6378USN ALS Low Signature Pistol Holster for the GLOCK 19,23 with light.

I want to take a moment to honor the law enforcement and EMS personnel who responded to the deadly terror attack earlier this week in San Bernardino, California. They did a great job and their swift and decisive action prevented even more deaths.
I’d also like for us to take a moment to honor the victims of this attack. They were friends and family to many and will be dearly missed.
GREENSBORO, NC, December 3, 2015 — Burlington Industries LLC, a division of International Textile Group (ITG), announced it has been awarded a $8.4 million contract to supply micro denier polyester fabrics to the United States Army for use in physical training (PT) shorts. These fabrics will be produced at the company’s facilities in Cordova and Burlington, North Carolina.
The new Army Physical Training Short uses an advanced microdenier woven polyester fabric that features Burlington’s MCS®, Moisture Control System, a proprietary wicking and absorption technology. The fabric is lightweight with a soft hand and improved breathability as well as inherent moisture management properties. The MCS® fabric works by absorbing moisture, moving it away from the skin, and releasing it for quick evaporation. This allows the wearer of the shorts to remain cool, dry and comfortable.
“Light weight performance fabrics are one of Burlington’s core competencies,” said Burlington President Jeff Peck. “Our MCS® technology foundation provides the performance needed to support the Army’s renewed emphasis on physical training. These shorts offer moisture management, durability and stain resistance, resulting in the most advanced PT uniform in the Army’s history.”
Since 1923, Burlington has been a global textile leader with core competencies in worsted wool and performance synthetics and has been an integral part of the defense supply chain for more than 50 years. Offering a diverse range of vertical manufacturing capabilities, fiber, and fabric blends, Burlington® Military is proud to provide quality fabrics for United States Military personnel. Through innovation, Burlington’s® in-house Research and Development department, Burlington Labs®, engineers advance fabrications and technical finishes that are applied to protect and enhance performance while providing troops easy-care and comfort in combat and training.
“We continue to explore new opportunities to equip and protect our U.S. Armed Forces,” said Peck. “Our products range from basic innovations that elevate the performance of PT, battle and dress uniforms to the newest advanced technologies in infrared, insect repellant, cold weather, fire, and ballistic protection.”
Several years ago, to expand its military business, ITG combined the resources from its Burlington, Safety Components and Carlisle business units to create an extensive military products platform of diversified fabrics developed to service the specific needs of the military market. Products include fabrics for camouflage combat and utility uniforms, Class A dress uniforms, physical training and extreme cold weather wear, flame resistant and fire fighting protective clothing, high performance equipment, ballistic fabric for body armor and load carrying equipment, and other specialty items.
