Henry Repeating Arms

Henry Repeating Arms Debuts First-Ever Rimfire Revolver and Single Shot .410 Shotgun for Turkey Hunters

September 19, 2024 – Henry Repeating Arms, the world’s leading lever-action firearms manufacturer, is introducing its first-ever rimfire revolver named after the company’s flagship Golden Boy rifle and a new .410 shotgun for turkey hunters seeking a reliable platform to maximize the benefits of Tungsten Super Shot (TSS).

Introduced in 1999, the Henry Golden Boy remains one of the world’s most popular lever-action .22 rifles on the market today. Now, a sidearm companion is available with the Henry Golden Boy Revolver. Borrowing from the same bill of materials as its rifle counterpart, this 10-shot wheel gun features a deeply blued steel medium-size frame, genuine American walnut grip panels, and a highly polished brass backstrap and trigger guard. The traditional double-action revolver has squared Gunfighter-style grips for maximum control (model H016GD) or a more compact, rounded Birdshead-style grip for better concealment (model H016BD).

The 10-round cylinder features an innovative quick takedown button inside the trigger guard, making post-range cleaning and maintenance exceptionally easy. Both models share a 4” round blued steel barrel and a familiar sight system composed of a fixed notch cut directly into the rear of the frame and three different screw-in blade sights to adjust for elevation. The MSRP for both Henry Golden Boy Revolver versions is $928.00. For more information, visit henryusa.com/handguns/golden-boy-revolver.

The advent of TSS loads for .410-bore shotguns changed the game for turkey hunters, providing patterns and distances never seen from small-bore shotguns. The new Henry Single Shot Turkey Camo .410 Shotgun (model H015T-410) is purpose-built to maximize its effectiveness. Unique to the design of this shotgun are the fully adjustable front and rear fiber optics sights, the removable invector-style TSS choke, and a full helping of Mossy Oak® Original Bottomland® camo from buttstock to muzzle. The break-action actuates with an ambidextrous bi-directional locking lever for loading and ejecting, and the 26” camo-dipped barrel is drilled and tapped to accept an optics base. The MSRP for the Henry Single Shot Turkey Camo .410 Shotgun is $780.00. For more information, visit henryusa.com/shotgun/single-shot-turkey-camo-shotgun.
“It’s high time our flagship rifle had a bonafide revolver companion, and I’m proud to stamp the Henry name on what the team put together,” says Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “Providing our customers with the most smiles per dollar is paramount to everything we do, and these new products deliver in spades, whether on the range or in the field.”
These new Henry Golden Boy Revolver and Single Shot Turkey Camo .410 Shotgun are shipping now and available for purchase at Henry dealers nationwide.

LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Revelyst, a collective of world-class maker brands that design and manufacture performance gear and precision technologies and a segment of Vista Outdoor Inc.

This licensing deal unites Revelyst, 5 Horizons and CamelBak ® — a global leader in hydration solutions and a brand in the Revelyst Adventure Sports platform—behind a quest to enhance worker performance and safety through proper hydration.

Hydration is essential for workers on job sites, construction projects or farms and ranches. With increased hydration comes increased focus, productivity and safety—something all companies should keep top of mind when outfitting their crews with essential tools for the job.

“CamelBak is synonymous with hydration, and the launch of CamelBak Pro is a natural expansion of our global brand, which has been a leader in hydration solutions for outdoor enthusiasts and military personnel for decades,” said Jeff McGuane, President of Revelyst Adventure Sports. “We are excited to bring our expertise in hydration to the work market, ensuring that workers stay hydrated and perform at their best.”

Products in the CamelBak Pro line are designed to improve worker performance and promote job site safety by providing convenient, reliable access to hydration. CamelBak Pro includes several size and color variations of backpacks, waist packs and tool belts, all crafted from rugged materials to withstand demanding work environments. Each product incorporates CamelBak’s proprietary hydration technology, ensuring workers have access to reliable hydration solutions throughout their day.

“For 5 Horizons, a global leader in accessories for the work, outdoor and sporting goods markets, this partnership is a tremendous opportunity to impact worker performance, health and safety,” said Kevin Lehrer, Co-CEO of 5 Horizons Group. “Our expertise in developing durable, high-quality accessories combined with CamelBak’s innovative hydration technology results in a product line that advances the needs of today’s workforce.”

CamelBak Pro is available now on camelbak.com/pro and through select retailers and industrial partners.

We listened, have been diligently working on a solution, and are now proud to offer these Night Goggles NG/PVS-14-GP systems!!

Brand new US Made Gen 3 image intensifiers are expensive so in order to bring the cost down to a much more affordable price for the average retail customer, the NG/PVS-14-GP utilizes US Made Gen 3 image intensifiers with slightly used photocathodes that have been re-potted and professionally rebuilt using brand new autogated power supplies in MX-11769 manual gain control format. The photocathodes originate from either L3Harris or Elbit Systems of America image intensifiers. The performance of these tubes is comparable to currently available Mil-Spec green phosphor image intensifiers. They have good cosmetics with no spots in the zone 1 and zone 2 regions. Some tubes may have peppering. The PVS-14 housing and optics are Mil-Spec manufactured by Noctis Industries (formerly Carson Industries). The NG/PVS-14-GP are built in-house by TNVC and carry a 2 Year Warranty on the image intensifier, Lifetime Limited Warranty on the housing & optics, and includes the standard Night Goggles 14-day return or exchange if you are not happy with them!

Why one tiny town in Australia is an HF radio powerhouse

Why one tiny town in Australia is an HF radio powerhouse

Wiluna is 1,000km from Perth Western Australia and has a population in the hundreds. Despite this, it is home to test and transmission sites for internationally significant communication systems.

In 1896, gold miners hit the jackpot in Western Australia. Mining projects brought residents to the area, and the town that they established would become known as Wiluna. Its industry and population peaked in the 1930s, but since then numbers have fallen and many of the mines have closed. Wiluna is currently home to around 300 people, with a further 1,300 in the surrounding county.
Despite its size, the town holds remarkable significance in the field of high-frequency radio. HF radio uses the ionosphere to transmit signals over thousands of kilometres, enabling secure, long-distance communication. Situated 1,000km from Perth, Wiluna is well-placed to host both testing and transmission infrastructure.
Marine weather warnings and distress calls
AMSA’s Wiluna Radio (VMW) is one of only two transmitters broadcasting hourly marine weather information and warnings from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology over HF radio. Routine weather forecasts are also transmitted six times a day. In addition, the network is used to make broadcasts for search and rescue purposes when necessary.
Alongside transmission, the station monitors offshore distress calls for the region, which are remotely managed by the Rescue Coordination Centre in Canberra. Wiluna covers the coastlines of Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory, whilst its counterpart in Charleville (QLD) does the same for the other half of the country.
GMDSS coastal networks
The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) incorporates an internationally agreed-upon set of safety procedures for radio distress calls, ensuring ships have the communication tools in place to contact onshore authorities in an emergency. Through Wiluna Radio, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) receives these signals and can provide assistance to those in need.
The town’s involvement in GMDSS compliance does not end there. Wiluna is home to an HF radio testing station for Barrett Communications, a leading supplier of HF radio communication systems.

Barrett Communications produce a variety of HF radio products to meet communication needs, whether for coastal networks, military operations, or communities facing natural disasters. The company’s 4075 High Power HF Transmitter offers a rack-mounted solution for large-scale HF communication base stations, and is used by GMDSS coast radio networks around the world.
Technical information on HF radio sites
The company’s HF radio site in Wiluna is approximately 22km east of the VMW HF site and is regularly used to develop new systems.
Equipment at the Barrett Wiluna site consists of:
– Transceiver – 1 x Barrett 4050 HF SDR Transceiver (100W pep) with a 4022 24V power supply
– Antenna – Barrett 912 Multiwire broadband dipole antenna deployed on a Barrett 10m Air transportable mast in an inverted “V” configuration
The HF Radio site in Bibra Lake at the Barrett HQ consists of:
– Transceiver – 1 x Barrett 4050 HF SDR Transceiver (100W pep) with a 4022 24V power supply
– Antenna – Barrett 912 Multiwire broadband antenna deployed between two permanent masts.
The 4050 HF SDR Transceiver at both sites is connected to the internet (LTE) via a router/modem which allows full remote control of the station from any location over the internet.
Furthermore, The Barrett Wiluna site is installed in an existing building supplied by, and with the support of, the Shire of Wiluna. In addition, the Wiluna site is used by the Australian Department of Defence for defence industry integration activities, with Barrett support.
Both sites can be operated remotely over the internet (LTE) via the Barrett 4000 Series HF remote control app. For example, recently Barrett personnel were working on a project in Tonga and remotely operating the Wiluna HF radio from that location over the internet. They were communicating over HF radio with a Barrett 4075 high-power transmitter located in Malaysia.

The Wiluna HF station is ideal in terms of distance from Bibra Lake at 1,000km as this represents one “Ionosphere skip zone”.
Innovations are changing the game for communications. But with the continued importance of HF radio globally, the Wiluna site will continue to play an important role for years to come.

“I learned more about being a good pistol shooter in 5 days at the CT 250 course than I have learned in 30 years of shooting pistols. The instruction is top notch, they broke my shooting down to the building blocks and rebuilt it better. I learned so much that I need to go back to the 250 course again to learn more. There is that much they can teach you. “Gunsite Professionals train professionals” is not just a saying, it’s the truth.”

– Trevor P., CT 250 Defensive Pistol class, Gunsite, Paulden, AZ –

“…On the first day of the 250 Pistol Class – all the way to the fifth day, I feel I received value for the amount I paid for the course. The instructors helped me discover old, but bad habits and correct “training scars” developed over 21 years. If you have never fired a gun before, I recommend this course for you because you haven’t yet developed “bad habits”. Several of my fellow students were beginner shooters and at the end of the course, they have earned their way to me feeling comfortable bringing them with me during a potential deadly encounter…”

Winchester® Ammunition Introduces NEW 21 Sharp™ Rimfire Cartridge

Winchester® Ammunition Introduces NEW 21 Sharp™ Rimfire Cartridge

EAST ALTON, IL (September 18, 2024) — Winchester Ammunition introduces 21 Sharp™, a new rimfire cartridge with an innovative design that provides significant benefits for recreational shooters and small game hunters.
The new cartridge is an evolution in rimfire technology and performance. Winchester engineering expertise is at the core of the 21 Sharp design, built from the ground up for enhanced accuracy and on-target performance with both lead and lead-free projectiles. Ammo manufacturers have tried with little success to incorporate lead free projectiles into use in the venerable 22 Long Rifle (LR) cartridge.  While those products are available, none have ever met the accuracy and on-target performance that a lead projectile can provide due to the original 22 LR design.  The new 21 Sharp rimfire cartridge from Winchester was purposefully designed by Winchester to provide top performance with lead-free projectiles rather than accommodating them later.
The new cartridge allows for a wide range of bullet types including full metal jacket (FMJ), copper matrix and plated-lead options. Jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullets will also be available in 21 Sharp, delivering extreme expansion and energy transfer.
“The 21 Sharp cartridge offers significant advantages in the rimfire category, which is one of the more popular types of firearms and ammunition used by millions of people throughout the world,” said Kyle Masinelli, Senior Director of Product Innovation and Strategy for Winchester Ammunition. “Winchester leadership in cartridge development spans more than 100 years and as the global leader in ammunition design and manufacturing; it’s our job to serve our customers with innovative products that fit their needs now and into the future. That is what has been done with 21 Sharp.”
21 Sharp™ Ammunition Offerings:

  • Game & Target 25 grain, Copper Matrix – The Winchester designed, lead-free, rimfire bullet produces sub 1.5 MOA groups at 50 yards, outperforming all lead-free .22 LR offerings available today.

  • Game & Target 37 grain, Black Copper Plated – This bullet is the most comparable to a standard .22 LR offering with improved accuracy and offers an economical round for plinking applications.

  • Game & Target 42 grain, FMJ – Winchester designed this high- performance full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet for those high-volume range sessions with less frequent cleanings and more time for shooting.  
  • Super X® 34 grain, JHP – The jacketed hollow point (JHP) bullet outperforms its rival, the .22 LR, in terms of accuracy, expansion, and impact energy on small game.

*All data generated in a controlled range environment.

D&M Holding Company Announces Expansion of Current White River Energetics Primer Facility and New Smokeless Propellant Factory

 

DES ARC, Ark. (September 17, 2024) – D&M Holding Company, Inc. (D&M), an ammunition and energetics engineering company, is investing $70 million to expand its current White River Energetics (WRE) ammunition primer and energetics facility in Des Arc, Arkansas, and build a single-base, smokeless propellant factory.

“Currently, there is a worldwide shortage of smokeless propellant that is affecting munitions availability globally,” said Dan Powers, President and CEO of D&M Holding Company, Inc. “This will be the first single-base propellant factory to be built in the United States in over 50 years.”

White River Energetics currently has 125 employees at the Des Arc facility, with 73 new employees added in the past year. The expansion will create 100 new jobs and increase the Des Arc campus from 14,000 square feet to over 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Construction on the expansion is underway and expected to be completed in Q1 2026.

“We are proud of all the people and employees who have worked tirelessly to support WRE and make this happen,” said BJ Rogers, Vice President of Operations, D&M Holding Company, Inc. “Having grown up in Des Arc, I’m personally proud to see the successes that have been made with primers and look forward to continued success in the future production of propellant.”

This expansion will enable WRE to scale its energetics and primer manufacturing to meet customer demand as well as develop new products. “This expanded campus also provides a facility for R&D and for training for our customers for whom we are building factories around the world,” said James Jones, Vice President of Business Development, D&M Holding Company.

D&M and WRE supports domestic and international clients in the defense and sporting markets through its development of turnkey factories, and its manufacturing and distribution of energetics for various types of ammunition, including primers for small and large caliber pistols and rifles.

Barnett’s Hyper Raptor Crossbow Delivers Devastating Performance at a Disruptive Price

Barnett’s Hyper Raptor Crossbow Delivers Devastating Performance at a Disruptive Price

Tarpon Springs, FL (September 17, 2024) – At the heart of every Barnett crossbow is quality and dependability. As the leading pioneer of the modern crossbow movement, Barnett’s never-compromising focus on precision, safety, and performance has earned the trust of hunters from every walk of life. With over 60 years of experience and scrutinizing every aspect of every crossbow, Barnett is proud to be the world’s #1 manufacturer of crossbows.

The Hyper Raptor excels in every aspect of performance-inspired design and technology. With a lightweight composite riser and measuring just over seven inches axle-to-axle when cocked, the crossbow provides excellent maneuverability in tight-quartered hunting applications. Its pivoting limb pockets put less weight on the front of the crossbow while making a more durable shooting platform with reduced recoil and vibration. With its compact and energy-efficient design, the Hyper Raptor sends small-diameter HyperFlite™ arrows down-range with incredible speed – up to 410 feet per second and 142 ft. lbs. of energy for maximum bone-crushing penetration.

Like all crossbows in the Hyper™ series, the Hyper Raptor package includes Barnett’s exclusive and patent-pending 20 in., .204 diameter HyperFlite arrows. The arrow’s 21% increased FOC (front of center) and .204 small-diameter shaft reduces wind drift, producing a deadly combination of blistering speed, downrange accuracy, and deeper penetration. HyperFlite arrows provide more than 25% deeper penetration than the competition.

The Hyper Raptor is exceptionally fast and proves to be tack-driving accurate. Barnett’s Halo System eliminates cable crossing and cam lean to create perfectly balanced string travel for superior accuracy. Additionally, arrows are held secure with Barnett’s Soft Lok™ Floating Bristle Arrow Retainer System, and CNC machined aluminum flight track provides consistency shot after shot.

The Hyper Raptor utilizes a metal-injected molded trigger and TriggerTech™ Frictionless Release Technology (a $200 value). The TriggerTech trigger features a reliable, crisp, 3-pound pull for consistent shots and improved accuracy, while an Anti-Dry Fire (ADF) system and a nock sensor ensure the crossbow is loaded correctly. Additionally, the Rope Hold Roller Ball technology keeps the RCD rope in place as you attach hooks to string for more consistent cocking. For hunters looking to use a CCD, Barnett offers a compatible Hyper Raptor CCD buttstock.

Comfort and customization add the finishing touches to the Hyper Raptor. Multiple features, like the finger safety reminders above the pass-through forend with Verti-Grip palm rest, enhance hunter-friendly ergonomics. An adjustable length-of-pull buttstock and a padded, micro-adjustable cheek rest ensure a perfect length-of-pull and proper scope-to-eye alignment. Pre-installed string suppressors reduce recoil, vibration, and noise during the shot.

Barnett packs even more value to complete the Hyper Raptor package. The crossbow comes outfitted with a premium 4×36 illuminated, multi-reticle scope with flip-up caps. The scope offers precise target acquisition in ambient light conditions. The scope is adjustable to calibrate the reticles to exact yardages based on arrow speed.

The complete package includes a premium side-mount quiver, three 20 in. HyperFlite arrows with field points, 4×36 illuminated, multi-reticle scope, integrated sled-style rope cocking device, and lube wax. Best of all, the Hyper Raptor’s single bolt assembly comes mostly assembled and virtually ready to hunt straight out of the box.

The search is officially over for the smoothest, fastest, easiest shooting experience. The Hyper Raptor delivers devastating performance with an unbelievable $599 price tag.

GA-ASI Displays Future of Uncrewed Airpower at AFA ASC 2024

WEB GA-ASI CCA Model at AFA Fall 2024

GA-ASI DISPLAYS FUTURE OF UNCREWED AIRPOWER AT AFA ASC 2024

Air Force Conference Will Feature Actual XQ-67A OBSS and Full-Scale CCA Model

NATIONAL HARBOR, MD – 16 September 2024 – Are you ready to see the future of uncrewed air power? General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) announces major displays during the Air Force Association’s (AFA) Air, Space & Cyber Conference, Sept. 16–18, 2024. During the show, just outside Washington, D.C., GA-ASI will exhibit:

  • The Air Force Research Laboratory’s XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) – the actual operational aircraft will be parked for static display at GA-ASI’s booth #734.
  • A full-scale model of GA-ASI’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA), on display at the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s booth #1834.

Journalists and other AFA conference attendees are encouraged to view these and other GA-ASI exhibits to get the latest on how the company’s leadership in aircraft hardware, autonomy software, and other cutting-edge capabilities make it the strongest contender to build the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for the U.S. and its allies.

OBSS

GA-ASI built the XQ-67A OBSS as part of an Air Force Research Laboratory effort. The aircraft flew for the first time in February 2024 and completed its initial round of flight testing in June. To demonstrate the maturity of its unmanned air-to-air platforms, GA-ASI engineers performed an Agile Combat deployment to the Gaylord Convention Center of the actual operational aircraft, using common commercial support equipment, to booth #734.

CCA

In addition, GA-ASI is showcasing a full-scale model of its CCA aircraft at booth #1834. In April, GA-ASI was selected to build a production CCA for the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. Large numbers of these highly capable autonomous warplanes will fly alongside, and well ahead of, legacy human-piloted fighters to enhance their sensing, networking, and combat capabilities.

“We’re excited to show our industry colleagues what the future force will look like,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander.

About GA-ASI

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable RPA systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator® RPA series and the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar.

ESCORT’s BTS Bullpup Series Shotguns are Built to Last

ESCORT BTS Bullpup Shotguns are Built to Last

Rogers, AR (September 16, 2024)—The ESCORT® BTS Bullpup offers all the perks of the VTS series shotguns in a more compact, portable package. This next-generation shotgun is available in 12 ga or .410 cal and in black or FDE Cerakote. Its compact nature makes it an excellent choice for field use or home defense.

The 12-gauge models feature an 18” barrel with removable chokes, including an extended cylinder bore choke brake that helps tame recoil with heavy shots or slugs. Also included are full and improved cylinder flush-mount chokes, with additional options available from HatsanUSA. Each gun ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional 2-round magazine is also available. The gun’s SMART Valve Piston will cycle 7/8 oz to 2 oz magnum loads in 2 ¾” and 3” magnum rounds, credited to its self-regulating design.

The .410 models feature a 20” barrel with a fixed cylinder choke, suitable for both shots and slugs. This shotgun is one smooth operator, offering the same recoil-absorbing characteristics as the larger caliber models. The BTS ships with two 5-round magazines, but an optional low-capacity mag holds three shells. The gas operation performs similarly; standard and magnum loads cycle smoothly and reliably without requiring external adjustments.

The length of any bullpup is an advantage over traditional designs. Using the same gas-piston system as the other VTS shotguns, the BTS Bullpup is slender and has smaller dimensions. The synthetic barrel cover features Hatsan’s patented ThermoDefend technology that absorbs and dissipates heat while containing the gas operating system. A DuraDefend magazine enhances the durability against extended use.

The BTS Bullpup provides an exceptional shooting experience with enhanced ergonomics and thoughtfully laid-out controls. Recoil is expertly managed between a soft rubber buttpad and a long recoil spring. The soft rubber pistol grip is removable and can be exchanged for one of many currently available aftermarket options to suit the individual user. The tough polymer lower receiver also doubles as the forend grip, with soft rubber inlays for improved handling.

The BTS Bullpup features a one-piece carry handle sight that can be replaced with the included flip-up sights for a lower profile or mounted optics. Picatinny rails are also located on either side of the forend to accommodate a variety of accessories. The reversible charging handle provides the capability for ambidextrous use.

As with all ESCORT shotguns, the barrels are proof-tested at the factory to ensure quality and durability. The hard chrome and/or Cerakote coatings look great and are built to withstand the harshest conditions. HatsanUSA offers a 5-year limited warranty with all ESCORT firearms.

BTS Series Features

  • Modern sporting style, gas piston, bullpup semi-automatic shotgun
  • 12 gauge or .410 caliber, 3″ magnum chamber
