ESCORT® PS Turkey Hunter Semi-Auto Shotguns

ESCORT® PS Turkey Hunter Semi-Auto Shotguns: Ready for the 2023 Turkey Season

Rogers, AR (February 7, 2023) – HatsanUSA®, the exclusive U.S. distributor of ESCORT Shotguns®, is proud to feature the PS Turkey Hunter. Just in time for the 2023 turkey season you can find ESCORT’s notable line of turkey-specific semi-automatic shotguns at the ready. The PS Turkey Hunter is available in 12-gauge, 20-gauge, and .410 caliber and is tailored with the turkey shooter in mind. Common to many ESCORT semi-automatic shotguns, the PS Turkey Hunter features Hatsan’s FAST Loading System and Smart Valve Piston technologies. The FAST Loading System enables faster and easier loading with one hand and without the need to change shooting position. The loading button acts as both a carrier latch release for loading and the bolt release when the bolt is locked back. This gun’s Smart Valve Piston will cycle 7/8 oz, 2 ¾ in. all the way up to 3 in. full magnum loads, credited to its self-regulating design. This patented design is so reliable that one can mix heavy and light loads in the same magazine without a hiccup.

The PS Turkey Hunter is available in two camo patterns: RealTree® Timber and Mossy Oak® BottomLand. Each gun ships with 3 interchangeable chokes suitable for a variety of turkey hunting situations. A 5 in. long cantilever optics rail features 4 cross-slots to accommodate a variety of Weaver mounts. The gun is also equipped with bright fiber optic front and rear sights for low-light hunting. The red front fiber is windage adjustable while the rear green fiber sight is both windage and elevation adjustable. Both fibers can be removed entirely to make way for mounted optics. All Hatsan’s barrels are hard chrome-lined for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. Safety is a significant concern for any firearm, so a manual cross-button safety is built in. Mounted sling studs make for easy carry and firing support.

Be sure to grab ESCORT’s PS Turkey Hunter for this year’s turkey hunt! You won’t be disappointed!

APEX Ammunition Introduces Mossy Oak Greenleaf Turkey TSS Blend

Columbus, Miss. (February 6, 2023) – APEX Ammunition, makers of award-winning, handloaded, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells, is pleased to introduce its newest ammunition for turkey hunters – the APEX Mossy Oak Greenleaf Turkey TSS Blend.

Available in 3-inch 12-gauge 2 1/4 oz. loads and 3-inch 20-gauge 1 5/8 oz. loads, these premium “duplex” shells feature a combination of No. 9 and No. 10 TSS delivering an exceptional payload of 1,096 pellets in the 12-gauge shells and 774 pellets in the 20-gauge.  With an industry-leading density of 18.1 grams per cubic centimeter, the APEX tungsten super shot loads hit with devastating energy. Each meticulously handloaded shell features clean-burning powder and APEX’s one-piece tungsten-grade wad system engineered to deliver the tightest patterns possible and maximum barrel protection.

“We spend a great deal of time at APEX on research and development and only introduce new loads once they have been perfected to meet our stringent standards,” said Jason Lonsberry, CEO, APEX Ammunition. “This new Mossy Oak Greenleaf Turkey TSS Blend is a special offering that hits with a massive payload and exceptional retained energy. We’re excited to offer this new load to our fellow turkey hunters as we continue the partnership with our friends at Mossy Oak.”

“Mossy Oak and APEX were both created with a founding obsession for turkey hunting, and there’s no doubt they’re cut from the same cloth as we are – as turkey hunters and as gamekeepers. From their custom shells for my grandad “Mr. Fox” to the rest of our family, they’ve been a part of every turkey season of ours since APEX was founded,” said Daniel Haas, Director of Brand Marketing, Mossy Oak. “We’re proud to add to the storied legacy of Greenleaf in the turkey woods with some of the most innovative and trustworthy folks in the world of ammo.”

Designed for maximum penetration at extended ranges, APEX Turkey TSS loads are currently available in multiple gauges – 10 ga., 12 ga., 16 ga., 20 ga., 28 ga., and .410 bore – and a variety of shot sizes, shell lengths, and blends.

MSRP:

APEX Mossy Oak Greenleaf Turkey TSS Blend 12-Gauge: $62.99 (per 5-round box)

APEX Mossy Oak Greenleaf Turkey TSS Blend 20-Gauge: $49.99 (per 5-round box)

About APEX Ammunition

What started in 2017 with a few handmade shells for a hunting trip with buddies has become an obsession to provide wingshooters with the absolute best performing ammunition possible. Founded by U.S. Veterans and hunting enthusiasts in the great state of Mississippi, APEX Ammunition pioneered the commercial application of ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot to create the hardest hitting, most accurate shot loads in the business. The driving principle behind the company’s continued quest for innovation and better performance is its commitment to delivering a hunting experience like no other.

Why California’s Body Armor Ban Proposal is Unconstitutional

Hold on to your tactical vests, folks! A new bill, Assembly Bill 92, has been introduced in California that aims to ban the sale of most body armor to average civilians. That’s right, no more online purchases or trips to your local gun store for the everyday Joe.



But this bill isn’t just a bummer for tactical gear enthusiasts – it’s also unconstitutional. In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the details of the bill, explain why it’s unconstitutional, and discuss the potential impact on the tactical gear community. So sit tight and get ready for a wild ride as we dive into the details of Assembly Bill 92.

Cooper Rifles Update

1911s  Parts & Accessories  Revolvers

February 3, 2023:

Dear Valued Cooper Customers,

I know that there are questions following the announcement of Nighthawk Custom’s acquisition of Cooper Firearms of Montana. I hope this will clarify the current state of Cooper.
The backstory:
Nighthawk Custom was contacted by Cooper the week before Thanksgiving to see if we were interested in purchasing Cooper Firearms of Montana. This acquisition happened very quickly. It was not a scenario that had been in the works for a long period of time.
By the first week of December, a fact-finding team from Nighthawk Custom went to Montana to research the opportunity. After analysis and discussion, an asset purchase deal was made. By December 9th, a second group from Nighthawk Custom traveled to Montana to inventory, load six semi-trucks, and move everything to Arkansas.
This asset purchase includes the Cooper name, the intellectual properties/drawings, tools, and all inventory. We did not purchase any of their CNC machines; however, we have ordered new machines and are currently waiting on them to be delivered. To summarize, we are completely rebuilding Cooper Rifles from the ground up in Arkansas and plan to be operational in late 2023.
In the meantime, we are working on hiring some of the existing Cooper staff that will move to Arkansas and begin rebuilding Cooper, as Cooper Rifles of Arkansas. I know a lot of you have questions about existing orders, warranties, and other things. I ask for your patience and hope you can understand that this happened quickly and is a process. We want to make sure that this is completely planned out, so that we can take the best care of you all going forward.


Thank you again for your patience as we work through building this company and continuing the Cooper legacy for generations to come.
Sincerely,
Mark Stone
Owner & CEO of Nighthawk Custom

Two State Suppressor Bans Introduced!

January Policy Update is Live…

Virginia & New Mexico Introduce Legislation to Ban Suppressors!

As state legislatures across the country convene for the 2023 session, ASA is already working to defend against statewide suppressor bans in two states – Virginia and New Mexico. If this feels like deja vu, that’s because ASA already helped successfully defended against a ban in Virginia in 2019-2020. We stand ready to defend your right to own and use suppressors again in 2023!
In New Mexico, Sen. William P. Soules (D-37), has introduced
SB 171, which would outright ban the “manufacture, sale, barter, trade, gift, transfer or acquisition of… mufflers, silencers or devices for deadening or muffling the sound of discharged firearms.” ASA will be in Santa Fe on Monday, February 6th, to testify in opposition to this bill in the Senate Health and Public Affairs Committee.
In Virginia, Del. Dan Helmer (D-40), introduced
HB 2240, “prohibiting the sale, transport, etc., of assault firearms, large-capacity firearm magazines, and silencers.” ASA testified in opposition to the bill on Thursday, January 26th, and the House Public Safety Sub-Committee voted 6-4 to “pass by” or table the bill indefinitely.
Make no mistake, ASA will remain steadfast in combating any attempt to ban, confiscate, or further regulate suppressors at the state and federal levels.

Watch ASA’s 2022 Policy Update Video

Filmed on January 31st, this installment of our monthly policy updates focuses on attempts to ban suppressors in New Mexico and Virginia, as well as the impact that the ATF stabilizing brace ruling will have on the suppressor industry.

Winchester® Ammunition Launches Environmentally Friendly Shotshell, E-Tech™

EAST ALTON, IL (February 2, 2023) — Winchester Ammunition continues its tradition of innovation with the launch of an environmentally friendly shotshell, E-Tech, that utilizes wads made from biopolymers that are certified as home compostable.
E-Tech, loaded with BioAmmo’s one-piece 4-petal shot wad, is a great option for those that want to limit their use of plastics. Over time these plant-based wads will degrade into natural elements. Reducing a shooter’s impact on the environment doesn’t mean sacrificing performance. The biopolymer wads have been extensively engineered to match the performance of traditional plastic components for reliable and effective performance on target.
Offered in 12-guage No. 7.5-lead shot and No. 6-steel shot, E-Tech shotshells will meet your recreation, competition, or hunting needs.

GA-ASI Flight Tests LEO SATCOM on MQ-9A

clip_image002


GA-ASI FLIGHT TESTS LEO SATCOM ON MQ-9A

Capability Provides Global Coverage That Enables Operations Anywhere in the World

Successful Antenna Technology Validation on Telesat LEO SatelliteSAN DIEGO – 02 February 2023 – On Dec. 22, 2022, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) and the Air National Guard (ANG), with joint support from the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) and U.S. Air Force (USAF), flight tested an MQ-9A remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) equipped with a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communications (SATCOM) Command and Control system. This groundbreaking capability provides global coverage and connectivity that will enable pole-to-pole operations for GA-ASI’s family of RPA – including models such as the MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®, MQ-9A Reaper, and Gray Eagle 25M.

“This is truly game-changing for our platforms,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “Using LEO SATCOM not only keeps GA-ASI aircraft connected from the North Pole to the South Pole to allow operations in the most austere environments, but it will also provide resilient connectivity that allows operators to pass much more data to and from the aircraft.”

Early testing indicates LEO SATCOM significantly reduces latency and can be used in all phases of flight. For customers across the MQ-9 family of systems, LEO SATCOM should decrease operational costs, and the smaller hardware footprint will ultimately increase flexibility and reduce future payload integration costs.

The MQ-9A flight test was based out of GA-ASI’s Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility near Palmdale, Calif., and followed several weeks of ground testing.

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. With more than seven million flight hours, GA-ASI provides long-endurance, mission-capable aircraft with integrated sensor and data link systems required to deliver persistent flight that enables situational awareness and rapid strike. The company also produces a variety of ground control stations and sensor control/image analysis software, offers pilot training and support services, and develops meta-material antennas.

GA-ASI Selected to Build OBSS for AFRL

Air Force Research Laboratory interns win prestigious awards > ONE AFRL /  TWO SERVICES > NewsGA-ASI SELECTED TO BUILD OBSS FOR AFRL

SAN DIEGO – 02 February 2023 – General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) will manufacture and perform demonstration flights of the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL) unmanned Off-Board Sensing Station (OBSS) aircraft. Following a 12-month base period that culminated in a critical design review (CDR), AFRL exercised a build and flight test option.

GA-ASI’s innovative Gambit Series aircraft will validate the “genus/species” concept first developed by AFRL as part of the Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Platform Sharing (LCAAPS) program focused on building several aircraft variants from a common core chassis. LCAAPS is a major air vehicle effort under AFRL’s Autonomous Collaborative Enabling Technologies (ACET) portfolio, which is focused on developing technologies for Autonomous Collaborative Platforms (ACP).

“Throughout our 30-year history, GA-ASI has pioneered the advancement of unmanned aircraft systems that support our warfighters,” said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. “AFRL is moving forward with GA-ASI because we have the right background and experience to develop the OBSS aircraft at scale and on time, and we look forward to working with them to deliver another game-changing UAS.”

GPO 10×50 RangeGuide Named Best Rangefinding Binocular by POPULAR MECHANICS Magazine for the Second Time

GPO 10×50 RangeGuide Named Best Rangefinding Binocular by
POPULAR MECHANICS Magazine for the Second Time


RICHMOND, Va. (Feb. 1, 2023) — GPO USA’s original 10×50 rangefinding binocular has recently been named the Best Rangefinding Binocular by POPULAR MECHANICS Magazine. This honor was first bestowed upon the product in an article titled “The 7 Best Range Finders for Hunters and Golfers” published October 27, 2021. It was recently honored again as the Best Rangefinding Binocular on January 11, 2023, in “Best 8 Binoculars for Hunting, Birding and other Outdoor Activities.”
Author Justin Park carefully did his research to come to his conclusion about the GPO 10×50 RangeGuide. According to Park, “I’m one of those people. I’ve used the best and the worst binoculars on the market, and I spent time hands-on testing several models during fall big-game hunting seasons in Colorado. I also spoke with optics dealers and shop owners, fellow hunters, and brand representatives to get a full sense of all the different binoculars available. My picks—mostly 10x magnification with objective lens sizes ranging from 32mm to 54mm—are meant to give options for each type of end user, from brands old and new.”
Founded in 1902, POPULAR MECHANICS is one of the oldest magazines in the United States. Since its debut it has remained true to its audience continually publishing articles on home improvement, automobile maintenance and new advancements in technology and science.

APEX Ammunition Wins Gray’s Best Award

APEX Ammunition Wins Gray’s Best Award

Columbus, Miss. (February 1, 2023) – APEX Ammunition’s high-performance, ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) shotshells have won a prestigious Gray’s Best award.

Each year the editors of Gray’s Sporting Journal test new products to determine which truly stand out as the best in their category.  They “select gear that not only makes good first impressions, but also satisfies during repeated use.”  Gray’s Best winners, according to the editors, “not only deliver on the claims of their makers but also have an extra attribute, an extra something that triggers a tenor of feel, remembrance, or aesthetic and can be defined only as …..satisfying. Much like Gray’s itself.”

The following are excerpts from the Gray’s Sporting Journal 2023 Expeditions and Guides Annual:

“The world of shotshells has split in several directions since federal legislation in the 1980s mandated non-lead shot for migratory birds. Companies have sprung up specifically to produce “non-toxic” shells, using various metals for shot pellets, from steel (iron) to bismuth to tungsten… Tungsten is heavier than lead…but it’s harder than steel, which makes it necessary to load it differently and pay close attention to what shotgun you use. Apex is a company in Mississippi that looked at these problems and decided the answer was a line of hand-crafted loads in different gauges, specifically for waterfowl and turkey hunting…By essentially hand-loading each round, Apex produces premium products that produce premium-plus results.”

Terry Wieland, Shooting Editor

With an industry-leading density of 18.1 g/cc, APEX TSS Turkey, Waterfowl, Upland Bird, and Predator loads hit with devastating energy for maximum penetration and knockdown power. Each handloaded shell features clean-burning powder and APEX’s tungsten-grade wad system engineered to deliver the tightest patterns possible with maximum barrel protection.

“We are honored and elated to be recognized by Gray’s Sporting Journal with a Gray’s Best award,” said Jason Lonsberry, CEO of APEX Ammunition. “We have put our hearts and souls into making the finest, most accurate shotshells on the market – meticulously handloading each TSS load for optimal patterning and performance – and we deeply appreciate Gray’s recognition of our efforts.”

APEX TSS loads are available in multiple gauges – 10 ga., 12 ga., 16 ga., 20 ga., 28 ga., and .410 bore – and a variety of shot sizes, shell lengths and blends. APEX also offers Small Batch Private Label custom loadings. For more information, visit ApexAmmunition.com.

About APEX Ammunition

What started in 2017 with a few handmade shells for a hunting trip with buddies has become an obsession to provide wingshooters with the absolute best performing ammunition possible. Founded by U.S. Veterans and hunting enthusiasts in the great state of Mississippi, APEX Ammunition pioneered the commercial application of ultra-high-density Tungsten Super Shot to create the hardest hitting, most accurate shot loads in the business. The driving principle behind the company’s continued quest for innovation and better performance is its commitment to delivering a hunting experience like no other.

Statement from GA-ASI CEO Linden Blue on Ukraine conflict

STATEMENT FROM GA-ASI CEO LINDEN BLUE ON UKRAINE CONFLICT

SAN DIEGO – 01 February 2023 – For nearly a year, the full might of the Russian military has battered — but not beaten — Ukrainian forces fighting for their very existence.

The world has reacted in almost unanimous support for the Ukrainian cause, but those efforts have overlooked one of the most obvious and force-multiplying technologies of modern warfare: Long-range and enduring, stand-off sensing, unmanned aircraft systems.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems is dedicated to providing information dominance to its partners. From the outset of the Russian invasion, we began looking for options to respond to the requests of Ukrainian forces with our products, including the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1C Gray Eagle. Both systems have been used to devasting effect in combat by U.S. and partner nations for more than two decades and remain the gold standard for high-quality, medium-altitude UAS in the world.

We have delivered more than 1,000 aircraft over 30 years and flown nearly 8 million flight hours, most of them in hostile areas around the world. This is all we do. We know that introducing these systems to the battlefield will provide an immediate impact.

We have offered to train Ukrainian operators on these systems at no cost to U.S. taxpayers or the Ukrainian government. We have offered flexible options and recommendations for delivery. We have discussed the situation endlessly at every level of the U.S. federal government, and with many international partners.

Recently, we offered to transfer two of our own, company-owned training aircraft, plus the ground control station and other hardware required to operate them, for the symbolic price of $1, and reiterated our offer to train the first cadre of pilots and maintainers at our expense.
Many of the additional costs associated with readying these aircraft for combat, outfitting them with the necessary equipment, transporting them to Ukraine, setting up operations in that country, obtaining satellite bandwidth and providing additional supporting labor, are outside of our control. Our estimates for launch and ongoing operations do not include one penny of profit to our company.

Factoring in hardware and training that is essentially free, the offer is a remarkable deal with no strings attached.  All that is required is approval from the U.S. government. Our goal is now, and has always been, to help the Ukrainian armed forces defend and protect their homes and families, and help bring a rapid closure to this conflict before more lives are lost.

There are limits to what an American defense company can do to support a situation such as this. From our perspective, it is long past time to enable Ukrainian forces with the information dominance required to win this war.
