GMT™ Guarantee:
Grey Man Tactical™ warranties its products against defects in workmanship and materials. If you have a defective product, we will gladly replace it at no cost to you. This does not apply to third party products.
About GMT™:
In 2012, Paul Capdepon lived in an area where he preferred the contents of his personal gear to not be known. He carried a nondescript commuter-style backpack and wanted the ability to organize EDC-type gear. Not finding a suitable option, Paul decided to adapt the traditional MOLLE-style grid and designed the first Rigid MOLLE Panel™ to insert into any backpack with a 15″ laptop sleeve.
After receiving interest in the Rigid MOLLE Panel™ Paul had made for his own gear, he decided to launch a basic website in 2014 to begin selling them. Paul worked with local manufacturers from his home state of Louisiana as the demand for expanding the range of RMP™ sizes quickly increased. GMT™ has performed extensive testing and evaluations in the most adverse and demanding conditions. GMT™ then incorporated customer feedback to optimize performance in creating a dependable organizational platform.
The RMP Series™ has since been utilized by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies – specifically the DOS, DOJ, DHS, FBI, USMS, USBP, NYPD and LAPD to US Armed Forces, including the US Army, USAF, USN, USMC, USCG and USSOCOM – with implementation in missions assigned across Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and surrounding areas of operation. As a result, the RMP Series™ has yielded over 1,000 Five Star Reviews in our efforts to make critical gear rapidly accessible.
It is our ongoing passion to serve the prepared citizens, outdoorsmen, Law Enforcement, First Responders and Armed Forces communities, and we look forward to continuing to create gear that enables you to perform at the highest standard.

FortKnight Optics Exclusively Uses ZEISS Lenses for Precision Tactical Eyewear![]()
Optimized for the shooting sports, the exclusive Ballistic HD & Free Range HD Lenses by ZEISS give unparalleled optical clarity and breakthrough polarization technology so you can see every detail when on the range.

Vancouver BC, Canada (April 2023) – FortKnight Optics, a leading provider of high-performance eyewear, is proud to offer the shooting sports community a cutting-edge solution for optimal vision on and off the range. FortKnight Optics exclusively uses lenses by world-class ZEISS, the leading manufacturer of precision optics, to provide unparalleled performance and protection in a stylish package suitable for the shooting range or everyday wear. A key feature that sets FortKnight Optics apart is the utilization of ZEISS lenses, available in clear and sun lenses.
ZEISS’ ballistic clear lenses provide up to 70 percent greater visual clarity compared to standard lenses. The 308 Ballistic Clear glasses give the wearer a clearer view of targets and a distortion-free sight picture. Whether using spotting scopes, open sights, or firearm-mounted optics, these glasses will give the wearer the edge needed to hit the mark. The lightweight polymer frames of the 308 Ballistic Clear glasses are designed for all-day comfort and optimized for use with ear-pro. They feature ANSI-rated impact protection, ensuring the wearer’s eyes are protected from any accidental impacts or flying debris. In addition to their safety features, these glasses also feature ZEISS lens coatings for premium performance. These coatings are the same as those found in premium riflescopes and ensure one gets the best anti-fog, scratch-resistant, hydrophobic/oleophobic durable coatings. The Ballistic Clear glasses are the best fit for small to medium/narrow face shapes. For those with larger/wider face shapes, check out the 338 Ballistic Clear glasses.
In addition, FortKnight Optics also offers sun versions of its lenses, which utilize a revolutionary new polarization technique from ZEISS called LightPro Technology®. These new plano sun lenses by ZEISS offer the benefits of polarized lenses cutting annoying glare, and the depth perception and visual details of non-polarized lenses. They provide up to 80 percent greater visual contrast and will not dim electronic screens or illuminated reticles, ensuring a clear and unobstructed view during shooting activities. Unlike traditional polarized lenses, FortKnight Optics’ sun lenses also avoid the “rainbow blur” many people associate with polarized lenses when looking through glass or shooting optics. Furthermore, all lenses by FortKnight Optics are impact-rated, providing reliable protection during shooting activities.
The 308 Free Range Sunglasses are designed for those who will not settle for less than the best, featuring FortKnight Optics’ exclusive FrontSight HD lenses by ZEISS. These sunglasses are designed to give the wearer the clarity one needs to identify threats, get on target faster, and get accurate hits downrange. The FrontSight HD lenses by ZEISS are just the beginning of the 308 Free Range Sunglasses’ impressive features. These shooting glasses have lightweight polymer TR90 frames, making them comfortable to wear for long periods. They also have extreme scratch resistance, meaning one can take them with you on any mission without fear of damage. Anti-fog ventilation ensures that one’s vision remains crystal clear, even in the most humid conditions. Additionally, the glasses have premium ANSI Z87 impact protection for one’s eyes, ensuring safety on the range or in the field. The 308 Free Range Sunglasses are the best fit for small to medium/narrow face shapes. For those with larger/wider face shapes, check out the 338 Free Range Sunglasses. These are the perfect addition to a range bag and are made in small runs, ensuring the customer always has the latest technology at their fingertips.

They come together – sometimes three generations of a family – to the range to learn how to protect themselves, to improve their marksmanship skills, to learn how to be better competitors, to try a different platform or brand, or to just grow as a person with an incredible experience.”
Sandoval added, “Our programs have grown out of necessity for ranges to offer women’s-only training, women’s resources, and recurring engagement that develops relationships in the store as well as women’s confidence in visiting that store or range regularly. We are thankful to sponsors like FALCO Holsters who recognize the importance of our impact in the women’s marketplace for shooting sports,” she said.
“As a manufacturer of everyday carry options for people around the globe, sponsoring this conference affords FALCO a unique opportunity to reach more than 1,200 enthusiastic women shooters, instructors, and volunteers during the event,” said Zacharová. “We’re proud to support such an inspiring and far-reaching event.”

![]()

Grand Island, NE (April 27, 2023) – The firearms industry has a long-standing problem.

SnapSafe engineers have created an innovative, modular safe that’s delivered in pieces and fitted in place. Its robust design offers security equal to traditional welded safes. Some models have the extra-large capacity required to store extensive gun collections yet still boast the flexibility to move them anywhere. That’s the SnapSafe modular safe advantage!
SnapSafe Modular Safes combine the robust security of a conventional welded safe with the benefit of placing them anywhere in a home or business without hiring professional movers. Depending on the model, SnapSafe Modular gun safes accommodate 12 to 56+ long guns and include adjustable shelves for flexible storage configurations. SnapSafe Modular safes protect firearms and other valuables from fire and theft.
The ability to assemble and move SnapSafe modular safes anywhere sets them apart from the competition. After delivery, each piece is unpacked and fastened at its final location. The SnapSafe modular assembly system locks the walls together from the inside, making them solid and impenetrable like conventional, welded safes.
SnapSafe Modular Safes feature a UL-listed digital lock with EMP-proof mechanical key backup. All safes feature a sledgehammer, pry-bar resistant 3/16″ solid steel door(s), and thick, 9-gauge steel exterior walls. Single-door models include eight 1-inch chrome steel live locking bolts, and double-door models use fourteen. The safes include heat-activated door fire seals and are Fire Shield protection rated at 2300°F for one hour.

AeroVironment Awarded $64.6 Million Contract by U.S. Army for Switchblade 300 Loitering Missile Systems
Contract includes first-time Switchblade system foreign military sales to two allied nations
Combat-proven Switchblade, with patented wave-off and recommit capability, provides operators with increased lethality, reach and precision strike capabilities with minimal collateral effects. (Photo: AeroVironment, Inc.)
ARLINGTON, Va., April 26, 2023 – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) received additional funding of $64,565,126 on March 24 from the U.S. Army Tactical Aviation and Ground Munitions (TAGM) project office for the procurement of Switchblade® 300 loitering missile systems. This most recent firm-fixed-price contract increases the total funded amount of Switchblade systems under the original U.S. Army contract to $231,331,651. The contract will be managed by the U.S. Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, and the systems are scheduled to be delivered by July 2024.
AeroVironment’s combat-proven Switchblade 300 loitering missile systems have been deployed by the U.S. Army for more than a decade and are currently providing real-time ISR and precision strike support on battlefields in Ukraine. Ideal for use against beyond-line-of-sight targets, Switchblade systems were approved by the U.S. government for use by Ukraine and additional nations after the start of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. This new U.S. Army contract includes foreign military sales of Switchblade 300 for the first time to France and another allied nation, expanding Switchblade’s footprint internationally.
“Switchblade 300 continues to be a critical weapon in the armed forces of Ukraine’s unmanned systems arsenal,” said Brett Hush, AeroVironment’s vice president and product line general manager for Tactical Missile Systems. “This new contract further demonstrates the global demand for production-ready, combat-proven Switchblade 300 missile systems. We’re honored that Switchblade 300 continues to support the U.S. military and our allies.”
The backpackable Switchblade 300 offers operators the flexibility to rapidly maneuver and employ the system on the ground. Real-time video, GPS coordinates, and wave-off capabilities provide the operator confidence in precisely attacking key targets.
This contract award follows an August 2022 contract modification for additional funding by the U.S. Army for procurement of Switchblade 300 loitering missile systems.

GA-ASI ANNOUNCES FY23 CONGRESSIONAL FUNDING OF GRAY EAGLE 25M FOR ARMY NATIONAL GUARD UNITS
SAN DIEGO – 26 April 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) announces that the Army National Guard (ARNG) has received fiscal year 2023 Congressional funding for 12 new Gray Eagle 25M (GE-25M) Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).
The funding comes after Army National Guard States, which make up 45 percent of the U.S. Army’s combat divisions, requested GE-25Ms to make ARNG Divisions Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capable, deployable, and better able to team with newly formed Division Artillery Brigades (DIVARTY). They will also be available to support domestic missions, such as homeland defense and disaster response, as needed.
“The GE-25M UAS is a very versatile aircraft,” said GA-ASI Vice President of DoD Strategic Development Patrick Shortsleeve. “Gray Eagle is a valuable tool that gives the ARNG capabilities that match the organizational and doctrinal Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) requirements of active Army divisions with up to 40 hours of continuous flight.”
GE-25M is equipped with the new Eagle-Eye multi-mode radar and electro-optical/infrared sensors, and can host a wide range of additional kinetic and non-kinetic payloads. Equipping ARNG Divisions with organic GE-25Ms makes possible the necessary mission planning, targeting, communications, detailed coordination, and realistic training needed to employ the systems successfully in combat. GE-25M will allow ARNG Divisions to have Divisional ISR for the first time.
The Gray Eagle UAS has a proven record of performance with millions of hours of safe operations, including automatic takeoff and landing capability. The aircraft excels as an enabler for Fires, Maneuver, Network, and Intelligence operations. It is also an integral part of the Army Aviation team, working closely with manned rotary-wing systems to achieve overmatch against pacing threats.
Delivery of GE-25M capability to the ARNG will deepen the skill and experience of the whole force. Not only will the aircraft enhance the lethality of the United States’ strategic reserve, but it will also spread the operational burden more broadly. ARNG Gray Eagle companies will be able to deploy to operational theaters and conflicts where, to date, only Regular Army Gray Eagle units have been supporting deployments.
About GA-ASI
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), an affiliate of General Atomics, is a leading designer and manufacturer of proven, reliable remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) systems, radars, and electro-optic and related mission systems, including the Predator® RPA series and the Lynx® Multi-mode Radar.

NSSF Files Challenge Against Washington Gun Ban
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a lawsuit against Washington’s Attorney General Robert Ferguson and John Batiste, Chief of Washington State Patrol, seeking declaratory and injunctive relief from state authorities enforcing HB 1240, the law that bans the sale and transfer of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and many other firearms. The lawsuit was filed within hours of Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature by Clement & Murphy, PLLC.
NSSF, along with other plaintiffs, is challenging Washington’s MSR ban, demonstrating that it violates the Second and Fourteenth Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court held in Heller that the Second Amendment protects the rights to keep and bear arms “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” There are over 24.4 million MSRs in circulation today, more than there are Ford F-150s on America’s roads.
“NSSF will not stand idly by as politicians cleave away fundamental Constitutional rights from Americans,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “The right to keep and bear arms that are commonly owned belongs to law-abiding citizens. Politicians in Washington exceed their authority when they usurp those rights to mollify radical special-interest groups. These politicians violate their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution and the rights of the citizens they represent.”
A recent Monmouth poll showed national support for “assault weapons” bans continues to drop. More Americans oppose banning MSRs than those supporting a ban. Just 46 percent of Americans support such a ban, while 49 percent said they would oppose a ban. That is a nine point drop in less than a year when the same poll was conducted in June 2022, following the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.
NSSF is joined in the suit by Amanda Banta, a 2012 Olympian for Team USA and 10-year member of the U.S. Rifle Team and resident of Spokane, Wash. NSSF is also joined by NSSF-member company Sharp Shooting Indoor Range & Gun Shop, Inc., of Spokane, which accounts among its MSR customers the Kitsap County Sheriffs Office. The Range, LLC, of Yakima, Wash., also joined the suit, along with Aero Precision, LLC, a firearm manufacturer, in Tacoma, Wash., also an NSSF member company.
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.

The simple, effective engineering in this single-stage press gives reloaders complete control, dependably enabling the precision and consistency demanded. The uniquely angled, solid cast frame is designed to ensure perfect die and shell holder alignment and allow reloaders to see and access the cartridge throughout the process. The frame is guaranteed never to break or fail.
The Lock-N-Load® Quick-Change Bushing System lets reloaders swap out dies in seconds, enabling quick and easy caliber changes when reloading cartridges for multiple firearms. Set the die and tighten the Sure-Loc™ ring onto the Lock-N-Load® bushing with a single twist. The six locking lugs on the die and press bushings hold dies in stable, secure alignment. A rubber O-ring on the die bushings gives reloaders a better feel when the die is inserted, holding it tight against the locking lugs to prevent accidental loosening. To change calibers, twist the die counterclockwise, remove it, and insert the next preset Lock-N-Load® die and bushing. Because they remain locked in their Lock-N-Load® bushings, dies will remain exactly as they were set.
Leverage, consistently applied, ensures proper bullet and primer seating. The Lock-N-Load Classic’s solid steel arm rotates on a steel pin running completely through the frame. The long arm gets a boost from the Power-Pac Linkage, multiplying the leverage and reducing operator fatigue. The ergonomic, large, ball-style grip also reduces effort while improving comfort.
Removing and replacing spent primers is a breeze, much easier than the process associated with old-style primer arms. The spent primer ejects at the top of the stroke. Then add a new primer to the Positive Priming System™, which self-aligns to feed, and insert the primer at the bottom of the stroke where leverage is best. The self-aligning primer arm allows easy manual primer insertion without raising the handle. All the work is done at the bottom of the stroke. Small and large punches are included.
A valuable optional item (sold separately) is Hornady Automatic Primer Feed, which pairs large or small primer tubes with the Positive Priming System, resulting in a “hands-off” process with no more stiff-fingered fumbling with primers.
The Lock-N-Load® Classic™ Kit includes:

An Affordable Way to Become a Detectorist
New X-TERRA PRO offers modern technology in a durable, waterproof, and affordable package
Chicago, IL (April 26, 2023) – Its technical rugged good looks aren’t by accident. It’s that kind of detector – durable, full-of-features, and, yes, waterproof… If you’ve been intrigued by the burgeoning outdoor activity of treasure hunting, but haven’t yet stepped in the ring, now’s the time to join the growing crowd.
Minelab, the international leader in metal detection, proudly introduces the X-TERRA PRO. Priced to be a gateway into the sport, the X-TERRA PRO offers more for the money than any metal detector, ever.
Topping the list of attributes is simplicity. The X-TERRA PRO was engineered to be easily operated, while still providing the technical edge Minelab is known for. And that advanced simplicity begins with preset Search Modes that instantly operate on frequencies best suited for specific environments, to include parks, fields, and beaches. In fact, each of those terrains offer two unique settings within, to further accommodate specifically what’s under your feet. And when it’s time to take control of your own detecting destiny, Minelab’s exclusive PRO-SWITCH™ technology turns over the reins so you can switch frequencies from 5, 8, 10, and 15 kHz, and detect even deeper.
The X-TERRA PRO’s large, backlit, LCD screen displays easily identified icons for each Search Mode. Moreover, the screen reveals other important intelligence like signal strength, frequency, battery power, volume, and more. More seasoned hunters can refine settings quickly and easily, too.
The soft-touch button array located below the screen is equally as straightforward. Quick button pushes let the user adjust frequency and sensitivity, change terrain settings, employ an All Metal Shortcut, pinpoint targets, and more.


With multiple tone audio options, the sound of treasure has never been clearer — X-TERRA PRO’s advanced audio means you’ll not only ‘hear’ if a target is trash or treasure, but you’ll also be able to gauge its size and depth simply by listening. Enjoy the crystal-clear audio with in-built Speaker (included) or lightning-fast low latency wireless headphones, wired headphones, and waterproof headphones – all compatible and available Minelab accessories.
The daylight may have ended, but that doesn’t mean your hunt has to — with control pod flashlight, red backlight display, backlit keypad, and handgrip vibration you can power on long after the sun has gone.
Feel free to detect creek beds and those shallow tidal waters because the X-TERRA PRO is fully waterproof down to 16-feet (5 meters). So not only can you detect underwater, but you’re also protected in rain and if by chance the detector takes an unexpected dunk in the drink.

Quite frankly, X-TERRA PRO dominates at the beach and a dedicated Beach Mode handles the most difficult saltwater conditions.
And because Minelab is committed to leading the pack for performance and support, the X-TERRA PRO is backed by Minelab’s global network and has up a to 3-year warranty.
X-TERRA PRO offers an array of waterproof coils and is compatible with V12X™ 12″x 9″ Elliptical Double-D (included), V8X™ 8″x5″ Elliptical Double-D, and V10X™ 10″x7″ Elliptical Double-D coils (accessory) so you’ll be prepared for any terrain. X-TERRA PRO is also compatible with all EQUINOX® series coils.

NSSF Praises Montana Gov. Gianforte for Signing FIND Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, praised Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte for signing the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act. The law, HB 356, prohibits state agencies from entering into contracts with corporate banks that discriminate against the firearm industry. Gov. Gianforte signed the law at Noreen Firearms in Belgrade, Mont.
Montana’s FIND Act will prevent “woke” corporate banks with discriminatory policies against firearm industry members from collecting taxpayer dollars through state contracts. Montanans will choose to do business with those companies that do not discriminate based on an industry these corporate banks may not like or with which they disagree.
“Montana is planting the flag in the ground to say Second Amendment rights are not for sale to ‘woke’ Wall Street corporate banks,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. “Montana’s tax dollars will be protected from being used to fund efforts by these corporate banks that benefit from state contracts while denying essential services to firearm-related business simply because they are politically-disfavored by Wall Street. Governor Gianforte’s signature makes clear that Montanans won’t bend to corporate pressure and discrimination to diminish Second Amendment rights.”
Montana’s FIND Act will require corporate banks and financial service providers seeking contracts valued at $100,000 or greater with Montana and its municipalities to certify that they hold no discriminatory policies against firearm industry businesses. Contracts that are certified and later discovered to be out of compliance with the law will be subject to cancellation.

NSSF Welcomes Bipartisan U.S. House FFL Protection Act Bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, welcomes the bipartisan introduction of the Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act, H.R. 2620, introduced by U.S. Reps. John Rutherford (R-Fla.) and Henry Cuellar (D-Texas). The bipartisan bill would strengthen and enhance criminal penalties for thefts of firearms from federally licensed firearm retailers. This legislation sends a strong message to those violent criminals engaging in these illicit activities and helps provide for safer communities, assists law enforcement and protects the livelihoods of firearm retailers.
“This bipartisan legislation is what true gun safety looks like. Congress is sending a clear message that the safety of our communities is nonnegotiable and targeting firearm retailers to steal guns in order to commit further crimes is intolerable,” said Lawrence G. Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for NSSF. “The firearm industry is grateful to Congressmen Rutherford and Cuellar for reaching across the aisle to provide those firearm retailers who follow the law the protection they deserve. This legislation assigns the responsibility for crime where it belongs – with the criminal. These are real solutions that make our communities safer.”
The Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL) Protection Act builds on the efforts NSSF has taken to address robbery and burglary of firearms through the partnership with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on Operation Secure Store®, one of several Real Solutions. Safer Communities.® firearm industry safety initiatives. As part of Operation Secure Store, NSSF matches ATF reward offers for information regarding these crimes that leads to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible and the recovery of the stolen firearms. Additionally, NSSF helps educate firearm retailers on steps they can take to reduce the chance guns will be stolen from them during a burglary or robbery, and in cooperation with ATF, conducts retailer store security seminars, assists retailers with store security audits of their premises and endorses and promotes the use of security products like smash resistant display cases.
ATF Director Dettelbach testified before Congress on the longstanding Operation Secure Store partnership with NSSF. ATF data has shown Operation Secure Store is working. Firearm retailer burglaries in 2021 were 277, compared to 577 in 2017 and 2,936 firearms were stolen in 2021 from firearm retailers, a 65 percent drop from the 7,841 firearms stolen from retailers in 2017.

MQ-9B SEAGUARDIAN® FEATURED IN US NAVY’S GROUP SAIL EXERCISE
SAN DIEGO – 25 April 2023 – The U.S. Navy’s Group Sail Exercise, held over a six-day period in Hawaiian military operating areas, featured one of the world’s most advanced Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) — the MQ-9B SeaGuardian® supplied by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI). SeaGuardian conducted Maritime Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (MISR), Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Long Range Fires, and simulated Battle Damage Assessment as part of Group Sail, which supported Carrier Strike Groups FIFTEEN and ONE.
During the exercise, which ran April 12-17, 2023, SeaGuardian integrated with U.S. Navy ships (carriers, cruisers, and destroyers) and aircraft (F-35C, F/A-18, EA-18G, E-2D, MH-60, and P-8) to support various naval missions that included Maritime Domain Awareness, Surface Warfare, Information Warfare, and numerous time-sensitive targeting objectives and simulated Battle Damage Assessments.
“We were thrilled that the U.S. Navy requested SeaGuardian be part of the Group Sail training event,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “We know the many successes of SeaGuardian during the USN’s RIMPAC 2022 exercise was a big reason the SeaGuardian was invited back to Hawaii to support Group Sail.”
In addition to its contributions during Group Sail, the SeaGuardian self-deployed from GA-ASI’s Desert Horizons flight operations facility in El Mirage, Calif., to Marine Corps Base Hawaii, covering over 2,500 nautical miles in a single flight and demonstrating SeaGuardian’s unrivalled expeditionary attributes. The aircraft self-deployed back to El Mirage following the exercise.

U.S. Patriot Launches Bravery Tour![]()
U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, will tour 25 military bases across the country this spring and summer, celebrating the bravery and service of U.S. Military Service Members to our country.

Lexington, KY (April 2023) – U.S. Patriot, a GALLS® company, announced a Bravery Tour celebrating US Military Service Members, past and present, and their families, for their service, bravery, and sacrifice. The U.S. Patriot team will start the tour on May 2, 2023, at Ft. Campbell, KY, and will visit 25 US military bases over four months ending the tour at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, on Aug. 5, 2023. The U.S. Patriot team, which includes several US military veterans, will drive a 2023 Jeep® Wrangler Willys 4×4 wrapped in a beautiful red, white, and blue U.S. Patriot livery for 6,000+ miles.
“I am thrilled to kick this tour off next week at Ft Campbell,” said Mike Fadden, CEO of Galls. “There is no better way to honor those who serve than by spending time with them and getting to know our troops. We look forward to interacting with the US military service members for the next four months, celebrating everything they do for our nation, and bringing their voice directly into how we serve them better for their tactical gear needs.”
The tour will be interactive, and the military service members will be encouraged to leave their unit’s memorabilia on the Jeep, making it one-of-its-kind by the end of the tour. At the conclusion of the tour, the Jeep will be given away through a sweepstake random drawing to one lucky winner. All active-duty military members, national guard members, reservists, military retirees, military veterans, and dependents of active-duty military members are eligible to enter the sweepstakes.

Grand Island, NE (April 25, 2023) – Given today’s ammo prices and product shortages, securing valuable personal assets makes sense. Assembled in the USA, these cabinets are a specialty security container for organizing and safeguarding ammo and much more—lock it up and protect these hard-earned investments with Hornady Security!
The all-metal Ammo Cabinet uses a barrel-key lock for enhanced security. These tamper-resistant containers restrict access to valuables like reloading tools and components, hunting and shooting gear, and anything else that requires secure storage.
The Ammo Cabinet designers optimized the layout to accommodate plastic ammo cans (3 included) or similar aftermarket products. Cabinets feature three adjustable shelves, with a 100-pound load capacity rating, totaling three 12” x 18” surfaces in the 40-inch-tall container. Also included are shelf/floor mats to protect the contents in storage.
The Ammo Cabinet’s dimensions work well as either a stand-alone cabinet or as the base of a sturdy workbench. For extra storage space, Ammo Cabinets conveniently stack and bolt together. Additionally, switching the cabinet’s door to the left or right opening accommodates individual preferences and the available space.
Square-Lok™ walls featured in this Hornady Security container allow critical airflow for temperature and humidity control for proper ammo storage. Other Square-Lok™ accessories fit the modular system for further customization.
The Ammo Cabinet includes a battery-operated motion light that conveniently illuminates cabinet contents when the door opens. And no storage system is complete without proper labeling, so the Ammo Cabinet includes ten magnetic rewritable shelf labels to organize items and find ammo.
The Ammo Cabinet is a specialty container by Hornady Security that protects valuables from theft and misuse, and its customizable modular design fits any workspace. Lock it up with Hornady Security.

Grand Island, NE. April 25, 2023 – Whether waiting for an extended period on a “hung up” longbeard or making that last call to break away a tom from his hens, having a steady rest is a must. A proper bipod, such as the Swagger Bipods QD42, prevents the hunter from holding a heavy gun, allows freed-up hands to use a slate call, and is essential in a turkey hunter’s arsenal.
The Swagger Bipods QD System is hybrid by design, taking the Quick Adapt Technology from Swagger’s popular original Hunter Series and the Quick Detach design with the QD, creating the most versatile shooting system that turkey hunters have ever experienced. By simply attaching the QD42s directly to a wide variety of shotguns, many turkey hunters now have the advantage of keeping their shotguns up in the ready position for an extended period. Less movement in the setup position prevents the keen eyes of the wild turkey from spotting the hunter when trying to keep the gun in an up position.
If you are a hunter who prefers hunting from a ground blind or enjoys bringing a kid hunting, the QDs can also be the answer. The QD42s range from 14” to 42”, allowing every size of turkey hunter to have the advantage of a stable rest. For on-the-move turkey hunts or having to make a reposition, the QD can detach and reattach with the snap of a button. Weighing only 15 ounces makes a move easier because there is not a significant amount of extra weight.
Every experienced turkey hunter knows that one missing link can make or break a hunt. Because the Swagger Bipods QD42 provides turkey hunters with many advantages to outsmart a mature spring gobbler, it is no surprise that the QD42 has become one of the essential tools that turkey hunters carry in their vests on every hunt.

NSSF Condemns Washington State Gun Ban
NSSF to File Lawsuit to Block Unconstitutional Law
WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, condemns Washington Gov. Jay Inslee’s signature of HB 1240, the law that bans the sale and transfer of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) and many other firearms. The law is clearly unconstitutional under the U.S. Supreme Court’s holdings in both the Heller and Bruen decisions. NSSF will file a legal challenge to this law with Clement & Murphy, PLLC.
“There is no doubt that this law signed by Gov. Jay Inslee unconstitutionally denies Second Amendment rights to law-abiding citizens in Washington state,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President & General Counsel. “NSSF worked in good faith with state legislators to warn them that this legislation runs afoul of Constitutionally-guaranteed Second Amendment rights to possess commonly owned firearms. Governor Inslee and Washington’s Attorney General Bob Ferguson put politics ahead of their duty to defend the Constitution and protect the rights of their citizens. NSSF will immediately sue Attorney General Ferguson to have this law declared unconstitutional.”
The 15-page law signed by Gov. Inslee outlaws the sale, transfer and import of at least 60 named firearms in Washington and includes the “AK-47 in all forms,” and “AR15, M16, or M4 in all forms.” There are more than 24.4 million MSRs in circulation today.
Washington’s gun ban law also labels nearly every semiautomatic rifle, pistol or shotgun as an “assault weapon” if those firearms include cosmetic features that have no bearing on the function of commonly owned semiautomatic MSRs. In fact, many of these banned features increase safety and precision, reducing the possibility of errant shots.
