Washington residents – not the news you want to hear.

Rainier Nation,

The time has come that sadly we knew would arrive with our current political environment. Washington HB1240 has been the subject of many conversations, emails, videos and likely affected some decisions you may have made recently. Today, we are forced to cease all sales of the newly prohibited firearms, parts and lower receivers that are listed by this legislation to all Washington State residents. We have spoke about the deadline approaching for the last several weeks, and that time has come.
We are frustrated, angered, and saddened by the progress of this bill which we feel ultimately prohibits you from exercising your constitutional rights. Many have asked what can be done and what we are doing about this? We encourage everyone to become involved by contacting your elected officials, volunteer for organizations, and support those that are fighting this in our legal system. Rainier Arms has been a champion for the firearms community and will continue to donate, support and provide resources to advocate for Washington, and all of our community, to secure their rights of firearms ownership.
This is a sad day for Washington. While this news is not what we ever wanted to have to report, we are also thankful for the strong partnerships in our industry. Our staff, who worked countless overtime hours and extra shifts, expressed their appreciation for the support and patience of the customers that visited our storefront during this wave of events. Many of our vendors stepped up to provide us extra inventory and rushed delivery so we could ensure transfer to as many Washington residents as possible. Aero Precision, POF USA, and Daniel Defense. Those companies stepped up and went above and beyond during these times, we cannot thank them enough for their support.
Many have asked what now, what is Rainier Arms going to do? For now, we are going to continue to move forward. Our leadership team is working to determine all of what parts of our business will be impacted, need to change and how to continue. As these actions happen we will let you know, so stay tuned.
Know this, our foundation is solid, and our drive to pursue our passion has never been fueled stronger.

SIG SAUER Releases Rare Set of Surplus M17 and M18 pistols to benefit Sterling’s Promise Foundation

SIG SAUER Releases Rare Set of Surplus M17 and M18 Pistols to Benefit Sterling’s Promise Foundation

NEWINGTON, N.H., (April 24, 2023) – Ahead of Special Operations Foundation Week (SOF Week) SIG SAUER is pleased to announce the first-ever public offering of a pair of M17 and M18 military surplus handguns with matching serial numbers through an online auction to benefit Sterling Promise Foundation. All proceeds from this online auction, hosted by Guns America, will go to support the mission of Sterling’s Promise Foundation to provide financial support for early cancer detection and to cover the financial gaps that occur between treatment needed and benefits provided of special operations veterans.

This pair of surplus Modular Handgun System (MHS) pistols to include an M17 (serial # TF000041) and M18 (serial # TC000041) with matching serial numbers is 1 of 9 sets of MHS surplus pistols originally manufactured under contract with the U.S. Army according to the original specifications. Both pistols were originally issued by the U.S. Army and fielded during the initial domestic and in-theater deployment of the Modular Handgun System. The unique, one-of-a-kind, features of these surplus pistols include coyote controls, the original government-issue markings and serial numbers, and orange rear and green front SIGLITE Night Sights.

“It is an honor for SIG SAUER to join forces with Sterling’s Promise to celebrate the life and service of Staff Sergeant Scott Sterling, who passed away early into his civilian career after a heroic battle with cancer, through this rare opportunity to own a piece of U.S. military history,” said Jason St. John, Sr. Director, Government Products. “We are hopeful that the rarity of these pistols will entice collectors to bid for a worthy cause. Not only are these pistols a rare set, but I would also note that this M18 surplus is the first-ever to be released. With only 75 of the M18 surplus pistols in existence SIG SAUER has no plans to offer them commercially, only through charitable auctions such as this or for historical display.”

VIDEO: SIG SAUER’s Jason St. John discusses the features of the M17 and M18 surplus pistols available at the online auction to benefit Sterling Promise Foundation.

WATCH THE VIDEO

The Sterling Promise Foundation was established in memory of U.S. Army SOF Veteran Scott Sterling who served in the 75th Ranger Regiment as well as 1st SFOD-D. Following his service, he enjoyed a successful civilian career in the industry and passed away in April 2021 from cancer caused by exposure during his military service. The Sterling Promise Foundation was set up in his memory to help special operations veterans and their families by covering the gaps that exist between expenses and benefits, and to provide financial assistance for ongoing early detection medical screenings for improved health and survivability.

The complete details of this auction, detailed product photos, and product video with Jason St John can be found at GunsAmerica.com. Bidding is now open through Thursday May 11, 2023, and the winner will be announced on Friday, May 12, 2023.

KOR Cases Adds New Gun Case Insert 3S

KOR CASES ADDS NEW GUN CASE INSERT 3S

Makes Medium-Sized Cases Universal

Scottsdale, AZ, U.S. – (April 24, 2023) KOR Cases, known for developing technologically advanced firearm storage solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, has added a new gun case insert to its expanding line of Vacuum Rigidizing Structure (VRS®) universal storage products. The new KOR Cases 3S Medium Universal VRS Gun Case insert is available at KORCases.com.

“The patented KOR Cases 3S Medium VRS Insert customizes case interiors and secures contents by conforming around everything inside,” said G.P. Searle, Founder of KOR Cases. “By replacing the bottom layer of foam with the VRS insert, you can use your existing gun case to transport any guns in your collection without cutting, plucking, or paying for foam. Plus, since the system prevents shifting during travel, you don’t have to remove accessories or re-zero your optics,” he added.

Operating the system is fast and easy, said Searle. “Think of the VRS insert as a moldable bean bag. When it is filled with air, it looks and feels like a pillow in the bottom of your case. Place your guns and gear atop the insert, then use the included pump to remove the air or ‘pull the vacuum.’ You’ll see the soft, pliable cushion change into a solid structure conforming to whatever is on top,” he explained. “At that point, the VRS insert is in a solid state and ready for transportation. Attach the pump and add air back into the VRS insert to utilize the insert for different gear, making it adjustable again.”

KOR 3S Medium Universal VRS Gun Case Insert

· Patented universal gun case insert
· Extremely lightweight, medium case foam replacement system
· Customize interior without cutting, plucking, or storing foam inserts
· Space-saving and environmentally friendly
· Replaces the bottom layers of foam and secures gear so contents remain fixed
· Solves the challenge of accessory disassembly and removal
· Exterior structure constructed with mil-spec textiles
· Interior comprised of fill rigidizing beads
· Integrated two-way valve
· Includes pump and adaptor kit
· Includes patch kit
· Weight: 3.16 lbs..
· Dimensions: 35 in. (l) x 15.5 in. (w) x 3 in. (h)
· Gun case compatibility: Pelican 1700, V700 / SKB Series 3614 / Boyt H41XD / Nanuk 985
· KOR VRS Product Demonstration Video
· MSRP: $275

Hobie® Eyewear Reveals New Surf Lifestyle Frames

Oceanside, CA (April 24, 2023) – Hobie® Eyewear promises to create waves at the inaugural SURFscape experience by unveiling five new sunglasses frames, each distinctive and all designed for the surf and beach lifestyle. The event will occur on April 29-30 in Huntington Beach, California.

SURFscape, put on by the Surf Industry Members Association, will unite the surf community and industry and allow the public outstanding opportunities to interact with their favorite beach brands, discover new products, shop, and much more. Hobie® Eyewear will be there, selling new styles and the most popular Lifestyle and Floating Collection sunglasses and doing daily prize pack giveaways that feature one-of-a-kind sunglasses.

New Beach Lifestyle frames to be launched – Cove, Flats, Vista, Pendleton, and Loma – deliver the high-end features and quality at an outstanding value that characterize Hobie® Eyewear sunglasses, with retail prices starting at $79.99 to $99.99. All offer 100 percent UV protection, premium polarized lenses, and HydroClean™ lens coating to repel water, sunscreen, dust, grime, and more.

“With a surf heritage that dates back to the 1950’s, we wanted to stay true to our history by offering classic surf-inspired styling. Styles like Flats, Pendleton and Vista are as relevant today as they were back in the early Hobie days and Cove taps into styling that can be seen all up and down the beaches of Southern California.”- Stephen Vaughan Senior Director, Product Development.

Cove blends West Coast style and sporting elements and is ideal for walking the beach or skating the boardwalk. Co-molded rubber temple grips facilitate all-day comfort for full days in the sun. Cove sunglasses come in Satin Black, Shiny Black, and Satin Crystal Grey.

Flats deliver style and comfort with a surf-inspired rectangle frame, lightweight construction that doesn’t sacrifice durability, and adjustable wire-core temples for a customized fit. Rich, vibrant color options take beach style to another level.

With a sleek, square frame with vibrant color details, Vista brings contemporary Southern California style and a comfortable fit, offering an excellent fit for the boardwalk or the beach. Handmade acetate makes Vista more durable, flexible, and stronger than regular plastic frames. Wire-core temples and spring hinges allow for maximized comfort.

The Pendleton frame offers classic appeal with one of the most popular shapes in sunglasses and a refined plastic/metal design. It comes in traditional colors like black and silver with grey lenses and tortoise/gold with copper lenses. Adjustable nose pads ensure a comfortable fit for everyone.

Loma is a petite aviator style, providing ultimate fashion and sun protection for long drives along the coast and walks in the sand. Soft rubber nose pads provide all-day comfort. Loma is available in Shiny Rose Gold, with three distinctive and stylish lens color options: Grey, Pink Mirror, and Cobalt Mirror.

Since 1982, Hobie® Eyewear has made being on the water easier and more enjoyable – pioneering a better, clearer, and more precise kind of vision. Merging expertly crafted designs with premium polarization, durability and innovative technologies has been at its core, following in the footsteps of visionary creator Hobie Alter. Hobie’s growing product catalog includes the ultra-light Floating Collection, HydroClean™ repellent lens coatings and Quick-Swap Interchange lenses to fit every outdoor enthusiast’s needs.

NGOs Can Apply for $100,000 in NSSF Hunting Heritage Trust Grants

Posted on Monday, 24 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

April 21, 2023

Hunting Heritage Trust® Grants Applications Now Open

NGOs Can Apply for $100,000 in NSSF Awards; Focus on Non-traditional Participants

WASHINGTON, D.C.— NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, has opened the application period for the 2023 Hunting Heritage Trust® Grants, offering a total of $100,000 in awards.

NSSF’s Hunting Heritage Trust Grant program is designed to support recruitment efforts benefitting hunting and the shooting sports. Qualified non-governmental organizations (NGOs) may apply for a portion of this year’s $100,000 grant total, to be used to support recruitment, retention and reactivation programs, known collectively as R3 efforts. As it did last year, NSSF will place an emphasis on programs that focus on increasing non-traditional participants.

Only project proposals submitted by and in the name of NGOs are eligible for funding. NSSF advises potential applicants to read the application guidelines carefully to fully understand which projects are, and are not, eligible for Hunting Heritage Trust Grant funding.

“We are excited to offer this new round of Hunting Heritage Trust Grants to encourage organizations to expand programs that facilitate participation among diverse groups in target shooting and hunting,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “We’ll be looking to reward programs that address the needs of this growing participant base. If you’ve got a program in mind that meets the grant guidelines, a Hunting Heritage Trust Grant can help get it off the ground.”

Grant applications must be submitted to NSSF by end of business (5:00 p.m. Eastern time) on May 12, 2023. All projects awarded grant funding in 2023 must be completed by March 10, 2024. Organizations are eligible for only one grant award from the Hunting Heritage Trust Grant program.

See the grant application guidelines and the grant proposal outline.

NSSF Hails Congressman Barr’s Fair Access to Banking Act

Posted on Monday, 24 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

April 21, 2023

NSSF Hails Congressman Barr’s Fair Access to Banking Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, hailed U.S. Rep. Andy Barr’s (R-Ky.) introduction of the Fair Access to Banking Act, H.R. 2743. The much-needed legislation would require banks to provide access to services, capital, and credit based on the objective risk assessment of individual customers, rather than subjective broad-based decisions affecting whole categories or classes of customers. The bill was introduced immediately after NSSF’s Fly-In with firearm industry executives meeting with Congressional lawmakers. It has 42 original co-sponsors.

The Fair Access to Banking Act would stop corporate banks from picking winners and losers based on executives’ personal politics. It also protects banks from outside pressure by special interest groups seeking to use the banks as a political weapon to advance their agenda.

“Congressman Barr’s ‘Fair Access to Banking’ bill is vital to ensure financial service providers aren’t discriminating against lawful industries like the firearm industry to score points with the ‘woke’ cancel culture. This legislation will ensure financial institutions, when deciding whether or not to offer services to fully legal and lawful businesses, make such decisions based upon verifiable financial data and not on the political or social views of a few bank executives,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “The banking industry has benefited from taxpayer bailouts and taxpayer-funded insurances, and it is unacceptable that these same banking institutions believe they can arbitrarily deny services to legal, constitutional businesses such as our industry, which gainfully employs millions of Americans and helps guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. The firearm industry thanks Representative Barr for his leadership to guarantee all legal and regulated American companies have fair and uniform access to financial services.”

Corporate banks have privatized “Operation Choke Point,” the illegal discrimination scheme that was begun under the Obama-Biden administration. The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)-led effort directed financial institutions to deny entire industries access to services, including the firearm industry. Despite being a constitutionally-protected industry, the Obama-Biden administration illegally coerced banks to end existing business relationships and deny new ones.

After the illegal practice was ended under the Trump administration, banks and special interest advocates simply privatized this scheme by adopting policies that specifically denied firearm businesses financial services for being in the business of selling certain types of lawful firearms. They forced these discriminatory practices while exploiting taxpayer-funded resources like FDIC insurance protections.

The Korth Mongoose Family

Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

1911s Parts & Accessories Revolvers

The Korth Mongoose Family

Fun Fact: Many of you might not know, but mongooses are known for their audacious attacks on highly venomous snakes.
Korth harkens back to the days when a revolver was a hand-built piece of functioning art. The Korth Mongoose family is a classic revolver, built with all fully machined parts from the finest billet steel available. German engineering, extreme quality, and attention to detail is unparalleled. The Mongoose comes in four different variations, each with its own unique twist on the Mongoose design.
Check out the different Korth Mongoose models below:

The Mongoose

The traditional Korth Mongoose is a classic revolver chambered in .357 Magnum/.38 Special available in 2.75”, 3”, 4”, 5.25”, and 6” barrels. Like the whole Korth lineup, every part of this revolver has been machined from billet steel. The roller trigger system creates an insanely smooth double and single action trigger unlike anything else on the market. The entire revolver is covered in a DLC finish with Hogue grips, 14K gold bead front sight, and an adjustable rear sight.

As an option, the Mongoose .357 Magnum is available with Korth’s unique interchangeable 9mm cylinder. This game changer allows you to switch cylinders from the standard .357 Magnum/.38 Special to a 9mm cylinder in a matter of seconds.

The Korth Mongoose is also available in .44 Magnum, with all the same features above and barrel configurations of 3”, 4”, and 6”. The Korth Mongoose .44 Magnum also has a set of Turkish Walnut grips.

The Silver Mongoose

The Silver Mongoose is a beautiful reimagining of the traditional Mongoose. Instead of the black DLC finish, the Silver Mongoose features a silver DLC finish for the ultimate durability and beauty. Taking the place of the Hogue rubber grips are high-grade Turkish Walnut wood grips. The Korth Silver features a black Korth Medallion and topped off with a custom wood display box.

The Mongoose Blackout

The Korth Mongoose Blackout is another twist on the classic Mongoose revolver. The finish is a completely blacked out DLC finish- including the trigger, hammer, screws/pins, and ejection rod. To complete this model, it features a high polished DLC Black Korth medallion and a custom set of blacked out wood grips.

Fulcrum Selector: Functional Confidence

Posted on Friday, 21 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

ARMASPEC Fulcrum Ambidextrous Safety Selector

Moriarty, NM – ARMASPEC, designer and manufacturer of premium firearm upgrades and accessories, has released the Fulcrum Ambidextrous Safety Selector. The Fulcrum is available with a short 45-degree, full 90-degree, or 45/90-degree throw cores.

Featuring a low-profile design, the Fulcrum’s contact points are textured for thumb traction, and smartly round to effectively roll across the thumb during engagement. This clever design provides more tactile positional confirmation position than traditional wedge shapes and moves with the arc of the finger, transferring effort into moving the selector rather than resisting, as so many other designs do. The end result is a selector that is easier to feel through gloves or under duress, and easier to activate.

Connoisseurs know that, beyond design, what sets ARMASPEC apart from the competition is manufacturing quality. The Fulcrum is no exception.

Aside from lever shape and size, what operators feel in a safety selector comes from the drum and detent quality.

ARMASPEC’s selector drum is precision machined from stainless steel and finished with a quench-polish-quench (QPQ) process for a hard, definitive, and smooth detent path. When combined with ARMASPEC’s precision-made detents, the Fulcrum selector rests definitively in position, but glides between positions. The end result is a confidence-boosting safety selector that both rests firmly in position and quickly transitions to the next.

The Fulcrum has an MSRP of $44.99 and the aluminum levers are available in:

· Black anodized
· Red anodized
· Blue anodized
· OD Green Cerakote
· MagPul FDE Cerakote
· Bronze anodized

“Better than milspec, it’s ARMASPEC”

About ARMASPEC: Founded in 2013, Armaspec is a U.S. manufacturer of firearm accessories for the AR, and Glock platforms. Focusing on producing quality, innovative products that offer a tactical advantage, at a fair price, all made in the U.S. The product line includes magwell grips, charging handles, parts kits, selectors, stocks, recoil systems, and other accessories for the firearms industry.

UPCOMING REVIEW: GERMAN PRECISION OPTICS (GPO) TACTICAL 6xi 1-6X24i LPVO

Posted on Thursday, 20 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

This is my first exposure to GPO’s magnified optics, and what an eye-opening experience it has been. The quality and thought behind this optic is exceptional. Allow me to share one example. Have you ever experienced adjusting reticle illumination and encountering, for example, level 3 is too dim while level 4 is too bright? This is a problem you won’t encounter with this scope’s continuous illumination adjustment. To our retailer friends, if GPO optics is not on your shelf, you’re missing one hell of an opportunity.

Read my upcoming review in late May.

Germany Orders Upgrade of 143 PUMA IFVs to S1

Bundeswehr orders upgrade of 143 Puma infantry fighting vehicles

19 April 2023 – Germany’s Federal Office for Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) has awarded Projekt System & Management GmbH (PSM), a joint venture of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall, an order to retrofit a further 143 Puma infantry fighting vehicles. In doing so, the German government is exercising two options contained in the contract for retrofitting original Puma infantry fighting vehicles to the new S1 design status. This contract was signed in June 2021.
The order volume is in the region of €770 million. By 2029, the key capabilities of firepower and command and control of all 143 Puma systems will be brought up to date. Exercising these options assures that every Puma in the Bundeswehr inventory will conform to the uniform S1 design status. Among other things, the retrofit includes integration of high-resolution day- and night-capable camera systems, the MELLS multirole-capable lightweight guided missile system, and digital radio equipment.

SitaWare Edge: The critical mission enabler

Posted on Thursday, 20 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

SitaWare Edge: giving dismount commanders “time to think”

A digital command-and-control solution provides your dismounted troops with a significant advantage on the battlefield. As one SitaWare Edge user said, a major benefit of the situational awareness given by the platform is that it gives commanders “time to think”. Effectively, this means commanders can do tasks such as planning and preparing for the next phase of an operation during quieter periods. This allows for units to increase their operations tempo and information superiority over the enemy – giving them a critical advantage.
As the electromagnetic spectrum becomes a more prominent battlespace in its own right, the ability to ensure troops can continue to communicate their plans, locations, and intelligence increases in importance. SitaWare Edge, utilizing our SitaWare Tactical Communication (STC) protocol, enables dismounted commanders to use their systems in low bandwidth network environments, as well as with a wide range of radio frequency bands such as HF, UHF, VHF, 4G/5G, and more. STC and SitaWare Edge can also be supported by a wide range of modern and legacy radios, allowing for backwards compatibility and support across a wide userbase.
With these factors in mind, bringing a new dismounted situational awareness solution online can be a complex procedure. Systematic has extensive experience with delivering mounted, dismounted, and headquarters solutions, supporting over 50 SitaWare customers and 1 million users worldwide. Our commercial off-the-shelf approach means that we have a stake in your success, helping to de-risk delivery and supporting your integration, deployment, and fielding journeys. We also work hard to roadmap and develop our products, meaning that your troops will be able to take advantage of new technology developments such as cloud computing, AI, and hardware integrations. As a CMMI Level 5 organization, we have a strong track record of delivering projects on time and on budget.

Firearm Industry Economic Impact Rises 322% Since 2008

Posted on Thursday, 20 April, 2023 by twobirdsflyingpub

Firearm Industry Economic Impact Rises 322% Since 2008

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The total economic impact of the firearm and ammunition industry in the United States increased to $80.73 billion in 2022 from $19.1 billion in 2008, a 322 percent increase, while the total number of full-time equivalent jobs rose to over 393,696 from approximately 166,000, a 136 percent increase in that same period, according to a report released by the NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association.

On a year-over-year basis, the industry’s economic impact rose to $80.73 billion in 2022 from $70.52 billion in 2021. Total jobs increased by over 17,877 in the same period, to 396,696 from 375,819. The firearm industry has broader impacts throughout the economy. It supports and generates business for firms seemingly unrelated to firearms, at a time when every job in America counts. These are real people, with real jobs, working in industries as varied as banking, retail, accounting, metalworking and printing among others.

The firearm and ammunition industry paid over $7.48 billion in business taxes, including property, income and sales-based levies. An additional $1.15 billion was paid in federal excise taxes, which directly contributes to wildlife conservation.

“Our industry’s economic input is undeniably contributing to every state and every community. This milestone achievement of over $80 billion in economic impact proves that the American firearm and ammunition industry is strong,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF President and CEO. “Ours is an industry that is consistently growing and innovating to meet the American demand for the highest quality firearms and ammunition for lawful firearm ownership. Over 4.2 million Americans from all walks of life, for the first time, discovered and exercised their right to lawful firearm owners and safely participate in the recreational shooting sports last year. This growth equals more jobs that add to our local economies, averaging $65,000 in wages and benefits, up from $56,900 reported last year. Since 2008, federal tax payments increased by 266 percent, Pittman-Robertson excise taxes that support wildlife conservation by 226 percent and state business taxes by 46 percent.”

The annual Firearm and Ammunition Industry Economic Impact Report provides a state-by-state breakdown of job numbers, wages and output covering direct, supplier and induced employment, as well as federal excise taxes paid. Access the full report here.

Delivering 16V starting power for total-loss racing applications, the T925-16 from Lithium Pros weighs in at just over seven pounds while being similar in overall size to many standard motorcycle batteries. Providing 750 cranking amps that can quickly turn over high-compression, high-horsepower engines, it is designed to go the distance for top-level drag racing applications and circle track events of 50 laps or less without needing a power-robbing alternator.

Excelling in size and weight, the T925-16 enables race teams to locate the battery where it’s most convenient. Using Lithium Ion Phosphate technology not only provides faster starts than other batteries but can also discharge more energy towards the end of the run or race when needed most. Delivering 30% more discharge than a traditional lead acid battery at a fraction of the size, lithium-ion batteries from Lithium Pros are a clear winner for those who need the best.

The T925-16 is designed with a built-in charge protection board with its own dedicated ground terminal to ensure balanced and safe recharging. An optional package pairs the T925-16 with the Lithium Pros 1008 Racing Battery Charger, a fully-automatic 18.25V, 15A charger that displays voltage, amperage and amp-hours charged via its LCD display.

Designed for racers that require the ultimate in lightweight power, the T925-16 Racing Battery delivers the edge they need.

NSSF Applauds Senator Daines’ Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act Introduction

NSSF Applauds Senator Daines’ Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act Introduction

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds U.S. Sen. Steve Daines’ introduction of S. 1185, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act, which would prohibit U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service (USFS) from banning the use of traditional lead ammunition and tackle absent approval by the applicable state fish and wildlife department and proof that lead ammunition and tackle is primarily causing wildlife population decline. The legislation has 24 Senate co-sponsors.

“This legislation ensures that conservation policies are firmly rooted in sound scientific evidence and not driven by special-interest anti-hunting groups. Threats to wildlife conservation come not only from groups opposed to hunting, but also through policies that threaten the primary source of conservation funds,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Federal rules that prohibit the use of traditional lead ammunition on National Wildlife Refuges are devoid of any scientific evidence that shows a causational linkage between the use of traditional ammunition and a population level decline of a species. These misguided policies only seek to divorce the firearm and ammunition industry, and the hunters that support these conservation funds by purchasing these products, from the wildlife and habitats these tax dollars are responsible for perpetuating. NSSF commends Senator Daines for his leadership to ensure the American Wildlife Conservation Model remains the gold standard for the world to emulate.”

NSSF denounced the USFWS Final Rule it published in 2022 that offered sportsmen and women a “bait-and-switch” deal to open hunting and fishing opportunities in 18 National Wildlife Refuges (NWRs), but banned the use of traditional lead ammunition and fishing tackle. The Final Rule offered no scientific evidence of detrimental population impacts to support banning the use of traditional ammunition, despite promises by the Biden administration to “follow the science.”

Firearm and ammunition manufacturers pay a 10 and 11 percent excise tax to the Wildlife Restoration Trust Fund, commonly referred to as the “Pittman-Robertson excise tax.” The firearm and ammunition industry was directly responsible for $1.15 billion Pittman-Robertson taxes of the record-breaking $1.6 billion apportioned to the states through the USFWS for state conservation and education programs in 2022 alone. Since 1937, the firearm and ammunition industry has paid over $25.38 billion into the fund since its inception in 1937, when adjusted for inflation.
