Introducing Galco’s Stow-N-Go Elite IWB Holster!

April 2024

Galco’s original Stow-N-Go™ IWB quickly became a best-seller upon its introduction. We’ve used the popular design as the basis for the Stow-N-Go Elite – part of our Masterbilt™ holster series – to create the ultimate version, featuring ultra-premium materials and construction methods, resulting in an ideal professional-grade inside-the-waistband holster.

The Masterbilt holster series combines our finest-quality premium leathers with the skills of our most experienced craftsmen. The Masterbilt series is the pinnacle of leather holster construction, unrivaled by anything on the market. Masterbilt holsters get their final drying on a last, a solid form around which the holster is dried. They’re ready to go – right from Galco – with little or no break-in required. With detailed hand molding and full-grain leather lining, Masterbilt holsters are not only beautiful, but supremely functional.

Constructed of our finest, fully-lined premium steerhide, the Stow-N-Go Elite features detailed hand-molding for both secure retention and a beautiful appearance. The smooth leather lining provides increased tactile feedback on the draw while easing wear on handgun finishes. The refinement of leather lining is not only practical – it also enhances the overall look and feel of a hand-crafted premium holster.

The open top design allows an easy draw, while the firm, lined construction keeps the holster open for smooth return to the holster. The vertical orientation gives the option of strong side or appendix carry to meet the needs of a broad range of gun carriers.

The smooth exterior allows easy repositioning of the holster as needed – for example, quickly switching from strongside carry to the appendix position. The sturdy polymer belt clip secures firmly to belt or pants, using a claw shape to prevent unintentional removal.

Available in black or tan, the Stow-N-Go Elite fits belts up to 1 3/4”.

NSSF Project ChildSafe Program Celebrates 25 Years; Announces $250,000 Fundraising Goal for Firearm Safety

NSSF Project ChildSafe Program Celebrates 25 Years; Announces $250,000 Fundraising Goal for Firearm Safety

Project ChildSafe 25 Anniversary

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This year marks the 25-year anniversary of Project ChildSafe®, the firearm safety and education program of NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association. Since its inception, Project ChildSafe has raised awareness about safely handling and securely storing firearms when not in use, along with educating children about firearm safety.

As part of recognizing this milestone, NSSF aims to raise $250,000 over the next year to provide more free gun locks and educational materials to gun owners across the country.

Started in 1999, Project ChildSafe began in just five cities in the U.S. and has grown to serve all 50 states and the five U.S. territories. To date, Project ChildSafe has distributed more than 41 million safety kits, which include a cable-style gun-locking device and educational brochures available at no cost to gun owners. The firearm safety kits are distributed through partnerships with more than 15,000 local law enforcement agencies and 13,000 organizational partners.

“For 25 years, Project ChildSafe has operated on both the national and local levels to provide genuine firearm safety solutions to communities that need them most,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “Since its launch, fatal firearm accidents have dropped to historic lows. The program also aims to prevent firearm thefts and suicide.”

“Prevention can be challenging to measure, but over the years we’ve heard stories firsthand of how our safety kits have saved lives by preventing accidents and suicides,” said Bill Brassard, NSSF’s Senior Communications Director. “Project ChildSafe continues to evolve and expand its resources, adding materials on mental health, suicide prevention and assisting parents with having conversations about gun safety with their children.”

To commemorate this exciting milestone in Project ChildSafe’s history, NSSF has set a new goal to raise $250,000 in funding for the program over the next year, which will support the development and availability of new educational resources, gun locks and city-level firearm safety coalitions in communities with particularly high rates of firearm-related accidents and suicides.

Individual supporters and organizations are invited to donate to Project ChildSafe. Project ChildSafe is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, and all donations to the organization are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

To donate, go to projectchildsafe.org/donate/25th-anniversary.



About Project ChildSafe

NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, launched Project ChildSafe in 1999 (originally as Project HomeSafe). Since 1999, the program has provided more than 41 million free firearm safety kits and gun locks to firearm owners in all 50 states through partnerships with thousands of law enforcement agencies across the country. That’s in addition to the more than 70 million free locking devices manufacturers have included, and continue to include, with new firearms sold since 1998. While helping to prevent accidents among children is a focus, Project ChildSafe is intended to help adults practice greater firearm safety in the home. More information is available at projectchildsafe.org.

Step into the field with POPZULU, a cutting-edge triumph in ballistic eyewear engineered for the most demanding environments. Whether you are at the shooting range or on the front lines of workplace safety, POPZULU offers full-scale defense with lenses engineered to shield and a frame designed to tuck away into the pocket-sized fortitude of its hard-shell case.

NRA ANNUAL MEETING PREMIERE

Popticals will officially unveil their POPZULU sunglasses, and their full line of adventure eyewear built for outdoor enthusiasts during the upcoming 153rd NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Dallas, May 17-19. Among the more than 14 acres of guns and gear, Popticals will display their new POPZULU ballistic eyewear out of Booth 7239. The three-day event will include opportunities to interact and engage with 70,000-plus potential customers, all active in outdoor and shooting sports with an eye for performance and reliability in their shooting essentials.

All POPZULU ballistic sunglasses incorporate the same innovative frame design and manufacturing found in other leading POPTICALS styles, and the patented FL2 Micro-Rail System™ technology that provides one-of-a-kind collapsibility for easy and secure portability when not in use.

POPZULU ballistic sunglasses are crafted using the finest materials including: 

● Hydrophobic Ri-Pel® Coating to repel water, oil & dust

● Complete UV Protection filtering out 100% of harmful UV rays

● Grilamid® TR90 Material to create frames that are lightweight, flexible, and highly durable

POPZULU ballistic sunglasses undergo rigorous testing to meet stringent safety standards, including ANSI Z87.1+ and MIL-PRF-32432. The lenses are crafted using the innovative Impacto lenses from Carl Zeiss Vision, proven to significantly enhance clarity and be 5X more resistant to hits and stresses than polycarbonate alternatives.  A premium hard coating is added to provide excellent scratch resistance and enhance the durability of the lenses.

The sunglasses feature ultra-lightweight frames, which minimize fatigue even during long shooting sessions. They are designed to fit comfortably, with an adjustable nose piece and strap, ensuring a secure fit for every action-packed moment on different face shapes and sizes.

POPZULU isn’t just eyewear; it’s a tactical gear essential. With lenses rated for ballistic impact and a collapsible design exclusive to Popticals, you’re investing in vision protection that is designed to perform under pressure. Whether you’re at the shooting range or navigating the complexities of industrial safety, POPZULU stands as your visual guardian.

“At Popticals, we embrace an adventurous lifestyle and aim to create sunglasses that can be a functional accessory for everywhere you go,” said Gary DiSalvo, owner and CEO of Popticals. “Creating ballistic and safety eyewear that caters to the specific needs of all shooting sports enthusiasts and workplace safety is the next evolutional breakthrough of Popticals as a premium eyewear provider. The unmatched versatility, durability, aesthetics, style, adaptations, and protection found in POPZULU ballistic eyewear ensures you’ll see your target clearer than ever and experience vision without boundaries.”

The new POPZULU ballistic shooting sunglasses are available in three lens colors (gray, clear, and orange) to suit different light conditions, preferences, and personal styles. Featuring patented Popticals technology, ballistic-grade protection, customizable comfort, and workplace safety compliance, POPZULU eyewear has been meticulously engineered to offer the perfect balance of safety and innovation.

NSSF Deeply Critical of Commerce Department Plan to Permanently Throttle Firearm Exports

April 26, 2024

NSSF Deeply Critical of Commerce Department Plan to Permanently Throttle Firearm Exports

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is deeply critical of the Interim Final Rule published today by Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) that cements the supposed 90-day firearm export “pause” into permanent policy and creates additional regulatory burdens. The Biden administration has demonstrated again their deepening contempt toward the firearm industry. This rule entrenches their “whole of government” attack and is intended to hobble the firearm industry’s ability to compete in the international market under the false pretense of advancing U.S. national security.

“The enmity of the Biden administration against the firearm industry and Second Amendment rights is without parallel. This is deeply troubling the lengths to which this administration will go to turn the levers of government against a Constitutionally-protected industry in order to cozy up to special-interest gun control donors,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The supposed ‘temporary pause’ to review firearm export policies was a farce. It was an effort to buy the administration time to gin up policies that would strike at the heart of the ability of this industry to stay in business. This has been the end goal since President Biden said from the Democratic debate stage that ‘firearm manufacturers are the enemy.’ This is a wholesale attack on the industry that provides the means for Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights.”

The Interim Final Rule was the result of BIS re-examining firearm export licenses in light of national security concerns. That reasoning, however, rings hollow. According to Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), only about 1 percent of legally exported firearms are recovered abroad at crime scenes and traced.

The BIS Interim Final Rule would make permanent export freezes sought by the Biden administration when it first announced on Oct. 27, 2023, a “90-day pause” to examine firearm export policy. The pause, which lasted over 180 days, was clearly an attempt to undermine the Export Control Reforms for firearm and ammunition exports that were initiated by the Obama-Biden administration and completed by the Trump administration. The total economic impact of the Interim Final Rule easily exceeds $250 million to U.S. manufacturers and exporters, far above the farcically low estimates BIS has been telling NSSF and the Hill.

Under the Interim Final Rule, firearm export licenses will be reduced from a four-year lifespan to just one year. There will be three new Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) for semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns. Licenses will be approved on a case-by-case basis that will consider foreign policy, national security risk factors, government corruption, diversion of firearms and human rights abuses among other criteria. BIS is stating there will be a presumption of denial for firearm export licenses to those countries arbitrarily identified by the State Department as “at risk,” which include 36 countries – mostly in Latin America, the Caribbean and Southeast Asian countries.

All existing previously approved firearm export licenses to so-called “high risk” countries will be revoked 60 days after with the Interim Final Rule takes effect May 30, 2024. Those U.S. companies with existing firearm export licenses will be required to re-apply for new licenses. The public comment period will remain open until July 1. NSSF is considering its legal options and will simultaneously submit written comments demonstrating the true economic impact and the harm to American businesses, jobs and local economies wrought by this politically-driven policy change.

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

MOSSBERG INTRODUCES 590 AND 940 PRO THUNDER RANCH SHOTGUNS

Mossberg® Introduces 590® and 940® Pro Thunder Ranch Shotguns

Designed in conjunction with Thunder Ranch Director, Clint Smith, and the Thunder Ranch staff, the Mossberg 590 Thunder Ranch pump-action and 940 Pro Thunder Ranch autoloader may be the ultimate personal defense shotguns. Both 12-gauge platforms are chock full of features including a patent-pending optic-cut receiver for the direct mounting of low-profile microdot sights, Cerakote® finishes, and proudly emblazed with the Thunder Ranch logo.

590 THUNDER RANCH PUMP-ACTION SHOTGUN (50781)

Based upon Mossberg’s legendary 500 pump-action, 590 shotguns feature non-binding twin action bars; positive steel-to-steel lock-up and anti-jam elevator; dual extractors; drilled and tapped receivers; and ambidextrous top-mounted safety. Enhancing the platform is a convenient clean-out magazine tube with cap for ease of maintenance.

Equipped with a durable black synthetic stock and corncob-style forend, this 12-gauge Thunder Ranch edition features a distinctive Patriot Brown Cerakote finish on the barrel and receiver; 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel topped with a front fiber optic sight for low-light conditions; 7-shot total capacity; compact 13-inch length-of-pull; and convenient optic-cut receiver for direct mounting of microdot sights (Shield RMSc-footprint) for improved target acquisition.

A cover plate is included when an optic is not in use. Completing the package is the Thunder Ranch logo laser-engraved on the receiver.

50781_590 Thunder Ranch_7Shot (1)

MSRP: $662

940 PRO THUNDER RANCH AUTOLOADING SHOTGUN (85171)

At the core is Mossberg’s cleaner-running and redesigned gas-operating system that may run up to 1,500 rounds between cleaning intervals. And for reduced maintenance and reliable performance, internal parts have corrosion resistant finishes including nickel-boron coated gas piston, magazine tube, hammer, and sear.

Key features include enlarged and beveled loading port; elongated, pinch-free elevator; bright orange anodized follower; extended knurled charging handle; paddle-style bolt release; front fiber optic sight; 8-round total capacity; and barrel clamp with dual-sided M-LOK®-compatible slots for ease of adding accessories. The Thunder Ranch edition has a self-draining, user-adjustable length-of-pull synthetic (range of 12.5 – 14.25 inches) plus adjustability for drop at comb and cast paired with a slim profile synthetic forend, both protected with Cerakote Patriot Brown finish.

The receiver and 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel wear the same Patriot Brown Cerakote coating. With the convenient optic-cut receiver, you have the option of directly mounting a microdot optic (Shield RMSc-footprint).

A cover plate is included when an optic is not in use. QD sling mounting ports, easily accessed on both sides of the stock and forend, and the Thunder Ranch logo lasered on the receiver complete this tactical package.

85171_940 Pro Thunder Ranch (2)

MSRP: $1,295

“We are pleased to continue our long-standing relationship with Mossberg. They have continuously provided quality shotguns for our clients and shooting community at affordable prices,” commented Clint Smith, Thunder Ranch Director. “Say whatever you want about shotguns being archaic, they have proven themselves over and over to be very capable in defense of the individual, military member, and law enforcement officer for many years previous and for many more years to come.”

Whether you are spending a day at the range or looking for the ultimate home defense gun, Mossberg in collaboration with Clint Smith delivers with the 590 and 940 Pro Thunder Ranch Series.

NSSF Praises Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for Signing Second Amendment Privacy Act

April 25, 2024

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp launches federal PAC

NSSF Praises Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for Signing Second Amendment Privacy Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praises Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp for signing into law HB 1018, the Second Amendment Privacy Act. This NSSF-supported law protects the privacy and sensitive financial information of people purchasing firearms and ammunition in The Peach State. With Georgia, there are now 14 states with laws that protect the Second Amendment financial privacy of their citizens.

The law prohibits financial institutions from requiring the use of a firearm code, also known as a Merchant Category Code (MCC), from being assigned to firearm and ammunition purchases at retail when using a credit card. The law also forbids discriminating against a firearm retailer as a result of the assigned or non-assignment of a firearm code and disclosing the protected financial information. Additionally, the law prohibits keeping or causing to be kept any list, record or registry of private firearm ownership.

“Governor Brian Kemp’s signature on the Second Amendment Privacy Act is yet another example of his firm commitment to protecting the Second Amendment rights of all Georgians. Citizens in Georgia won’t worry that ‘woke’ Wall Street banks, credit card companies and payment processors will collude with government entities to spy on their private finances to illegally place them on gun control watchlists,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “NSSF is grateful House Speaker Jon Burns, Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, Representative Jason Ridley and state Senator Carden Summers for bringing this crucial legislation to become law. No American should fear being placed on a government watchlist simply for exercising their Constitutionally-protected rights to keep and bear arms.”

NSSF worked closely with Georgia legislators to protect private and legal firearm and ammunition purchases from political exploitation. The Second Amendment Privacy Act is designed to protect the privacy of lawful and private firearm and ammunition purchases from being abused for political purposes by corporate financial service providers and unlawful government search and seizure of legal and private financial transactions.

The U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) admitted to U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) in a letter that it violated the Fourth Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens that protect against illegal search and seizure when it collected the credit card purchase history from banks and credit card companies of individuals who purchased firearms and ammunition in the days surrounding Jan. 6, 2020. Treasury’s FinCEN had no cause, and sought the information without a warrant, to place these law-abiding citizens on a government watchlist only because they exercised their Second Amendment rights to lawfully purchase firearms and ammunition.

The idea of a firearm-retailer specific MCC was borne from antigun New York Times’ columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin and Amalgamated Bank, which has been called “The Left’s Private Banker” and bankrolls the Democratic National Committee and several antigun politicians. Amalgamated Bank lobbied the Swiss-based International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the code’s creation. NSSF has called on Congress to investigate Amalgamated Bank’s role in manipulating the ISO standard setting process.

Sorkin admitted creating a firearm-retailer specific MCC would be a first step to creating a national firearm registry, which is forbidden by federal law.

Georgia joins a growing list of states that are standing against the invasion of financial privacy when exercising Second Amendment rights, including Tennessee, Iowa, Kentucky, Wyoming, Indiana, Utah, Florida, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Texas and West Virginia. These states passed laws protecting citizens’ Second Amendment privacy. Other states are considering similar legislation. U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) introduced S. 4075, the NSSF-supported Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act in the Senate. U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 7450, with the same title in the U.S. House of Representatives. California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law requiring the use of a firearm-retailer specific MCC and Colorado passed similar legislation that is awaiting Gov. Jared Polis’ consideration.



About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.

Dark Mountain Arms Announces Upcoming Release of the STOWAWAY Series

Dark Mountain Arms, 8 Fontaine Valley Dr, Fletcher, NC 28732

P :  828-276-3922

www.DarkMountainArms.com

Dark Mountain Arms Announces Upcoming Release of the STOWAWAY Series

The STOWAWAY Series is designed to be the most versatile single-shot rifle and pistol available.

Fletcher, N.C. (April 2024) – Aaron Voigt established himself as an innovative designer in the firearms space when he launched the LifeCard pistol seven years ago. Although Voigt sold his interest in Trailblazer Firearms earlier this year, he is excited to be leading a dynamic new start-up called Dark Mountain Arms with yet another unique firearm design: the STOWAWAY rifle and pistol.

The STOWAWAY rifle is a multi-caliber, bolt-action, take-down firearm that is initially being offered in 5.7×28. Weighing in at just under three pounds, this packable rifle is designed to be the most versatile single-shot rifle available. The standard offering includes a ½”x28 threaded muzzle, although compliant versions will also be offered. Future caliber options include 9mm, 4.6×30, .22 LR, .22 WMR, .17 Mach2, and .17 HMR.

The STOWAWAY pistol is a large format pistol built around that same platform and with similar features but with a 5” barrel and no stock. Plans are underway for an SBR version as well.

Voigt, one of six kids, was raised to love the outdoors and respect the American tradition of firearms and hunting in the mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. A former Marine and a veteran of the US Army, Voigt is a lifelong gun enthusiast.

“I’m still relatively new to the firearms industry, although, after seven years at Trailblazer I’ve learned my way around and met some great people. Last time it took me seven years from concept to launch. This time it’s less than a year,” commented Voigt.

Dark Mountain Arms is committed to two-step distribution and is actively seeking additional wholesale distributor partners. Interested parties can fill out the contact form.

Cooking Returns to Its Roots with the PrimalForge by TRUE

Cooking Returns to Its Roots with the PrimalForge by TRUE

Fort Worth, TX (April 25, 2024) – One of the earliest tools mankind ever produced was to assist in hunting and butchering. While the times have changed, the tools remain. To this day, we need cleavers, chef’s knives, paring knives, etc. For those hunting or camping, having a set of quality knives suited for butchering and preparing meals in the field is essential. Not only does it improve the overall experience, but it also becomes a useful skill. These skills don’t just end in the woods. They follow someone home and become a staple in the everyday kitchen. Butchering and food preparation tools are used in the wild and at home.

TRUE respects culinary preparation’s roots with the PrimalForge line of knives. Each knife has a rustic finish and design that can be used in the kitchen or carried into the field. Currently featuring four proven knife styles, the PrimalForge lineup is made with 5Cr15MoV steel for excellent edge retention and ease of sharpening. All the knives in this lineup are made with full tang construction and finished with an ergonomic, real Monzo wood handle that resists water. A hammer-forged texture is added to the upper sides of the blade, which not only adds an aesthetic flare but also functions by resisting stuck and difficult-to-remove foods.

Each knife comes with a durable and functional wax-treated canvas sheath. Its style harkens back to woodsman times when sheathes were handmade. A snap enclosure and PU leather strap quickly secure a knife in place.

TRUE PrimalForge Rocker Butcher—The Rocker Butcher is a complete butchering knife with a rounded blade. Rocking back and forth allows the user to cut quickly without large swings or excessive force. Perfect for meat and tenderizing, the Rocker Butcher ‘edges’ ahead. At 12.37 inches overall, the Rocker Butcher can take on nearly any meal size.

TRUE PrimalForge Chopper—When heavy cuts need to be made, nothing beats a chopper. The blade edge is nearly straight and makes up most of the 11.48-inch overall length. Well-weighted force can be applied to the motion of the Chopper to split food or break through harder elements seamlessly. It’s not the best option for thick bone but can handle nearly everything else.

TRUE PrimalForge Cleaver—Sectioning meat and cutting through bone requires something with girth and heft. The flat geometry of the edge makes the Cleaver a perfect option for sectioning game and reducing portion sizes that may contain bone or thicker flesh. It measures 12.69 inches overall and is the largest of the PrimalForge collection to date.

True PrimalForge Tanto Slicer—Finishing preparation requires a sharp blade and a steady hand. The Tanto Slicer solves half of these needs. At 12.17 inches, the blade is plenty long to handle nearly any meat or vegetable cut. Where the Rocker Butcher may not succeed, the Tanto Slicer can.

TRUE PrimalForge Canvas Knife Roll – Carrying all knives in separate sheathes is silly—the likelihood of losing one or forgetting it at a campsite increases. The Canvas Knife Roll puts all the knives in one place, ready for use. A durable weather-resistant wax coating prevents moisture from sneaking in and matches the coatings used on the standard sheaths. Keeping the design standard, a PU leather strap and snap closure keep the reinforced knife slots securely in place.

While it resembles older-style knives that were more common in the past, the PrimalForge lineup pairs quality tools with quality materials capable of handling all cooking styles. From the field to the dinner table, PrimalForge has it covered.

Aloft Announces Strategic Partnership with Anzu Robotics to Launch the Raptor Drone, Elevating Enterprise Fleet Management and Airspace Compliance

April 23, 2024

Jon Hegranes – Aloft CEO

Aloft Technologies, Inc. (Aloft), a leader in innovative drone technology solutions since 2015, proudly announces a new strategic partnership with Anzu Robotics with the launch of the Raptor drone series. This collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to pioneering secure, compliant drone operations that meet a wide array of flight needs across diverse industries, from inspection to public safety.

This marks a first in the drone industry, where best-in-class hardware and official USS software join forces in a compelling and comprehensive offering from American companies.

Since its inception, Aloft has been at the forefront of developing secure, drone-agnostic software that integrates various drone makes and models, providing flexible solutions tailored to our customers’ specific operational requirements. The partnership with Anzu Robotics introduces the Raptor drone series, designed to seamlessly integrate into this established ecosystem, enhancing both hardware capabilities and software intelligence.

Jon Hegranes, Founder and CEO of Aloft, commented on the launch, “At Aloft, we recognize that our customers have diverse operational needs which demand that everything they fly must be securely and compliantly integrated into the airspace. Our collaboration with Anzu Robotics on the Raptor series extends our commitment to providing versatile, cutting-edge drone solutions that ensure top-tier security and compliance for all stakeholders.”

Randall Warnas, CEO of Anzu Robotics, added, “Aloft is providing an imperative element to the Anzu Robotics mission.

As we embark on this next chapter of drones navigating quality, enterprise features, pricing pressure, and data privacy, Aloft has proven to be an ideal partner.”

The Raptor drone is powered by Aloft’s advanced software capabilities, with the Aloft Air Control platform installed natively. These features empower operators with superior control and oversight, ensuring each flight adheres to the highest safety, compliance, and performance standards. Through the native integration of Aloft Air Control, the Raptor is equipped to handle complex tasks, workflows, and mission-critical flight capabilities, including:

  • Enterprise Fleet Management: Streamlined tools to manage extensive drone operations and teams, enhancing operational efficiency and oversight.

Big Horn Armory (BHA) Announces April Sale on AR500 Rifle and Pistol

Big Horn Armory (BHA) Announces April Sale on AR500 Rifle and Pistol

Save 10 percent on any purchase of an AR500 Rifle or Pistol now through April 30, 2024.

Cody, Wyo. (April 2024) – Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is thrilled to announce an opportunity for AR enthusiasts to save on their favorite big-bore products. From now through April 30, 2024, customers can save 10 percent on the purchase of either an AR500 rifle or pistol.

Chambered in 500 Auto Max, BHA’s groundbreaking AR500 Rifle is the most powerful AR firearm available. BHA was not content with the big bore cartridge offerings available in the AR platform, so the company made its own. The logical choice was something to match the power and versatility of BHA’s Model 89 Lever Action in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The result was the development of the 500 Auto Max, a rimless 500 S&W Magnum to feed in a semi-automatic rifle.

BHA’s bold AR design and big bore 500 Auto Max cartridge put an unparalleled amount of power into a pleasant shooting, rapid-firing, versatile rifle. This combination of size, familiar manual-of-arms, available accessories, and energy on target make the AR500 Rifle ready to handle almost any situation. The AR500 is also available in an ATF-compliant pistol configuration: the AR500 semi-auto pistol.

The 500 Auto Max is a rimless 500 S&W Magnum that is easy to obtain or reload. A very versatile cartridge, it can be had in loaded ammunition with bullets ranging from 350grns to an amazing 600grns. The handloader can utilize over 55 different bullets ranging from 200grns to 700grns in almost any bullet type imaginable, including hard cast, jacket hollow points, monolithic solids, etc. This unprecedented range of bullet weight and design make the AR500 suitable for anything from prairie dogs to pachyderms to Peterbilt’s. Truck stopping power in a platform weighing less than 10 pounds. Factory ammunition for the 500 Auto Max is available through Buffalo Bore, Steinel Ammunition, Underwood Ammunition, and Defiant Munitions.

Whether it is packing 36,800 ft. lbs. of energy in a lever-action, or building the most powerful AR on the market, BHA’s goal is to give the customer the biggest bang for his or her buck.

Visit www.bighornarmory.com, call 307-586-3700, or email general@bighornarmory.com to place your order. For more on Big Horn Armory, visit www.bighornarmory.com

About Big Horn Armory:

Big Horn Armory was founded in 2008 with the expressed intention of designing a Browning-type lever-action gun chambered in 500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. The Big Horn Armory Model 89, made in America, closely follows the work of John Browning with refinements courtesy of modern metallurgy and machining capabilities. The first rifles began shipping in September of 2012 and since then, BHA has added to their big bore lineup with a Model 90 Carbine in 460 S&W, the Model 90A in 454 Casull, the Model 90B in .45 Colt, the Model 89A in 500 Linebaugh and the Model 89B in .475 Linebaugh. In 2017, Big Horn Armory took a departure from its lever-action series and developed the AR500 Auto Max, the most powerful short-range, semi-auto based on an AR .308 platform.

GA-ASI Selected to Build CCA for AFLCMC

GA-ASI SELECTED TO BUILD CCA FOR AFLCMC


SAN DIEGO – 24 April 2024General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) has been selected to build production representative flight test articles of the Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) for the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s (AFLCMC) Advanced Aircraft Division. This option contract award by the Advanced Aircraft Division exercises the critical design, build, and flight test on the existing CCA contract with GA-ASI following an initial 6-month phase that culminated in a successful CCA preliminary design review (PDR) earlier this year.

The CCA program aims to be a force multiplier, developing a low-cost, modular, unmanned aircraft equipped with advanced sensors or weapons and operating in collaborative teams with the next generation of manned combat aircraft.

In February 2024, GA-ASI successfully conducted the maiden flight of the XQ-67A CCA protype aircraft validating the “genus/species” concept pioneered by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) as part of the Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing (LCAAPS) program. This program focused on building several aircraft variants from a common core chassis. Since then, this prototype for CCA has successfully completed two additional test flights, laying the groundwork for a successful production and flight test program. GA-ASI’s CCA production representative design is based upon the XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station developed by GA-ASI for the AFRL.

“The CCA program redefines the future of aviation and will shape the USAF acquisition model to deliver affordable combat mass to the warfighter at the speed of relevancy,” said Mike Atwood, Vice President of Advanced Programs for GA-ASI.

“Throughout our 30-year history, GA-ASI has been at the forefront of rapidly advancing unmanned aircraft systems that support our warfighters,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “The USAF is moving forward with GA-ASI due to our focused commitment to unmanned air-to-air combat operations and unmatched UAS experience, ensuring the production of the CCA aircraft at scale to deliver affordable combat mass for the warfighter.”

To complement the CCA contract, GA-ASI will continue to conduct a series of autonomy and mission system tests on the MQ-20 Avenger® UAS and XQ-67A to accelerate the readiness of operational autonomy. These live flight tests will continue to demonstrate the readiness of the full mission capability to support the emerging U.S. Air Force Autonomous Collaborative Platforms (ACP).

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.

NSSF Commends Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee for Signing Second Amendment Privacy Act

April 24, 2024

NSSF Commends Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee for Signing Second Amendment Privacy Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, commends Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee for signing into law SB 2223, the Second Amendment Privacy Act. This NSSF-supported law protects the privacy and sensitive financial information of people purchasing firearms and ammunition in The Volunteer State. With Tennessee, there are now 13 states with laws that protect the Second Amendment financial privacy of their citizens.

The law prohibits financial institutions from requiring the use of a firearm code, also known as a Merchant Category Code (MCC), from being assigned to firearm and ammunition purchases at retail when using a credit card. The law also forbids discriminating against a firearm retailer as a result of the assigned or non-assignment of a firearm code and disclosing the protected financial information. Additionally, the law prohibits keeping or causing to be kept any list, record or registry of private firearm ownership.

“Governor Bill Lee’s signature on the Second Amendment Privacy Act is crucial to ensuring citizens of his state won’t have to be worried that ‘woke’ Wall Street banks, credit card companies and payment processors will collude with government entities to spy on their private finances when they lawfully purchase firearms and ammunition,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “NSSF is grateful to state Representative Rusty Grills and state Senator Jack Johnson for ushering this legislation through to become law. No American should fear being placed on a government watchlist simply for exercising their Constitutionally-protected rights to keep and bear arms.”

NSSF worked closely with Tennessee legislators to protect private and legal firearm and ammunition purchases from political exploitation. The Second Amendment Privacy Act is designed to protect the privacy of lawful and private firearm and ammunition purchases from being abused for political purposes by corporate financial service providers and unlawful government search and seizure of legal and private financial transactions.

The U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) admitted to U.S. Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) in a letter that it violated the Fourth Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens that protect against illegal search and seizure when it collected the credit card purchase history from banks and credit card companies of individuals who purchased firearms and ammunition in the days surrounding Jan. 6, 2020. Treasury’s FinCEN had no cause, and sought the information without a warrant, to place these law-abiding citizens on a government watchlist only because they exercised their Second Amendment rights to lawfully purchase firearms and ammunition.

The idea of a firearm-retailer specific MCC was borne from antigun New York Times’ columnist Andrew Ross Sorkin and Amalgamated Bank, which has been called “The Left’s Private Banker” and bankrolls the Democratic National Committee and several antigun politicians. Amalgamated Bank lobbied the Swiss-based International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for the code’s creation. NSSF has called on Congress to investigate Amalgamated Bank’s role in manipulating the ISO standard setting process.

Sorkin admitted creating a firearm-retailer specific MCC would be a first step to creating a national firearm registry, which is forbidden by federal law.

Tennessee joins a growing list of states that are standing against the invasion of financial privacy when exercising Second Amendment rights, including Iowa, Kentucky, Wyoming, Indiana, Utah, Florida, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, Texas and West Virginia. These states passed laws protecting citizens’ Second Amendment privacy. Other states are considering similar legislation. U.S. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) introduced S. 4075, the NSSF-supported Protecting Privacy in Purchases Act in the Senate. U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 7450, with the same title in the U.S. House of Representatives. California’s Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law requiring the use of a firearm-retailer specific MCC and Colorado passed similar legislation that is awaiting Gov. Jared Polis’ consideration.



About NSSF

NSSF is the trade association for the firearm industry. Its mission is to promote, protect and preserve hunting and the shooting sports. Formed in 1961, NSSF has a membership of thousands of manufacturers, distributors, firearm retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen’s organizations and publishers nationwide.
