NSSF Applauds Utah Governor Signing Anti-ESG Discrimination Laws

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, applauds Utah Gov. Spencer Cox’s signature on a package of laws that will end “woke” corporate discrimination against firearm-related businesses. The laws were recently signed and target corporations that discriminate against the firearm industry by making them ineligible for state and municipal contracts, among other provisions. These laws ensure that Utah will choose to do business with those companies that do not discriminate based on a Constitutionally-protected industry they may not like or with which they disagree.

“These laws ensure that lawful businesses, including the firearm industry, are free from the pressures of special interests that attempt to sway public policy through discriminatory policies that put ‘wokeism’ ahead of Constitutional rights,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “Corporations, especially Wall Street banks, have abused taxpayer-funded state contracts to force public policy outside of legislative authorities. The firearm industry is grateful to the Utah Legislature and Governor Cox for their principled stand that public policy must remain accountable to the people who elect their representatives, not unaccountable corporate elites in Wall Street ivory towers.”

Gov. Cox signed a package of legislation that includes:

SB 97: a law that prohibits a Utah public entity from entering into a contract with a company that engages in certain boycott actions, including businesses that engage in, facilitate, or support the manufacture, distribution, sale, or use of firearms.

HB 449: a law that prohibits a company from coordinating with another to intentionally destroy certain companies by eliminating the viable options for the companies to obtain a product or service. The law specifically identifies boycotted companies to include those that engage in, facilitate, or support the manufacture, import, distribution, advertising, sale, or lawful use of a firearm, ammunition, or another component or accessory of a firearm or ammunition.

SB 96: a law that requires Utah’s state retirement board, in accordance with fiduciary responsibilities, to make investment decisions with the sole purpose of maximizing the risk-adjusted return on the investments.

HB 281: a law that prohibits a governmental entity from using, enforcing, providing data for use in, or otherwise participating in the creation or use of a system that, based on a social credit score, that discriminates against, advocates for, or causes adverse or preferential treatment of a person.

Introducing the M81 Woodland Camo Holster

Safariland Logo

SafariVault

THE M81 WOODLAND CAMO HOLSTER

In 1981 the United States Armed Forces adopted the first official Battle Dress Uniform. The camouflage chosen for the first BDUs was U.S. Woodland—a pattern well suited for use in dense forests of hardwoods and pines. M81 represents the end of an era.

Woodland marks the transition from Vietnam into the last days of the Soviet Union and the end of a Cold War. More than any other military pattern, Woodland represents that period before the War on Terror, and the new normal ushered in with the new millennium.

Lithium Pros® Trolling Battery Features Long-Lasting Power at 1/3 of the Size

Lithium Pros® Trolling Battery Features Long-Lasting Power at 1/3 of the Size

Knoxville, TN (March 28, 2023) – Taking up ⅓ of the space of ordinary batteries, the TM3138-36 38.4V 38Ah Lithium Ion Trolling Battery from Lithium Pros® gives anglers more motor space while reducing weight on their boats. The battery offers 92 reserve minutes of usable energy, has a lifespan of more than 2,000 charges, and is equipped with an internal battery management system for safe and efficient performance.

The Lithium Ion Trolling Battery measures 13 in. L x 6.8 in. W x 8.4 in. T and weighs 32 lbs., yet provides as much trolling motor power as three BCI group 27 12V lead acid batteries. That’s 1/3 of the space and less than 1/3 of the weight of legacy trolling motor power supplies.

Simple to operate while actively fishing, trolling motors are indispensable for quietly accessing shallow fishing spots or holding positions in the current. Providing power for the motors, however, has traditionally required bulky, heavy 12V batteries that needed frequent charging and had limited lifespans.

Lithium Ion batteries offer more advantages to boating anglers than lead acid batteries. They are smaller and lighter, charge faster, run longer on a charge, and typically last as long as ten years, while lead acid batteries usually last around three years.

With a capacity of 38 amp hours or 1,459 watt-hours, the Lithium Ion Trolling Battery provides 92 minutes of reserve power for hours of fishing. The internal battery management system offers built-in protections against over temperature, over voltage, over current and short circuit conditions.

Built with Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells tested to the UL1642 standard, Lithium Pros TM series batteries are recommended for inductive motor loads such as trolling motors, electric motors, motive power, and other forms of energy storage. They can be recharged with typical AGM battery chargers.

TM3138-36 Features

  • · TM Series trolling battery
  • · Equivalent to three BCI group 27 12V lead acid batteries
  • · Has a lifespan of more than 2,000 charges
  • · Internal battery management system protects against over temperature, over-voltage, under voltage, over current, and short circuit conditions
  • · Made with cells that meet the UL1642 standard
  • · 1/3 of the weight vs typical fishing boat batteries
  • · 10-year lifespan

TM3138-36 Specs

  • · 38.4V
  • · 38 ah
  • · 32 lbs..
  • · 1,459 watt hours
  • · 13 in. L, x 6.8 in. W, x 8.4 in. T
  • · 92 reserve minutes
  • · MSRP: $888

About Lithium Pros

Lithium Pros was founded in 2011 and focuses on building lithium-ion batteries with the specific purpose to replace lead-acid batteries for use in demanding applications. They strive to uphold the ideals detailed in their mission statement: “Through constant innovation, create high-power lithium-ion battery packs that are safe, easy to install, and start an engine like nothing else.”

Galco’s No-Slip Sling!

March 2023

Galco’s No-Slip Sling adds extra security to any hunting rifle carried slung on the shoulder! Constructed of the finest Latigo leather, the No-Slip Sling measures a comfortable 2.5” at its widest point, tapering to 1.25” at the included swivels. The sling uses a key-hole adjustment system for easy, tool-free changes in length.

The key to the sling’s slip-free property is a 14.5” long by 2” wide pad made from Galco’s Gripper Shell™ material, stitched to the inside of the sling, which clings to clothing and prevents the sling from slipping off the shoulder.

Available in black or dark Havana colors, the No-Slip Sling includes a set of 1 ¼” quick-detachable sling swivels.

Celebrate March Madness with Big Horn Armory


Celebrate March Madness with Big Horn Armory

Save over $200 on an AR500 rifle or pistol when purchased between March 24 – 31, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is offering 10 percent off, a savings of over $200, any new BHA AR500 semi-auto rifle or pistol purchased directly from the website between March 24 – 31, 2023. BHA is currently shipping the AR500 from stock and a service representative will contact you within 48 hours to discuss options.

The AR500 rifle is an AR rifle like no other. 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, and Underwood Ammunition.

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.

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.

FN Herstal will equip US Air Force’s next generation HH-60W combat rescue helicopter with the FN External Mount Gun System (EMGS).


21 March 2023: FN Herstal to equip US Air Force’s next generation combat rescue helicopter.

In 2016, the United States Air Force launched a major program for 113 helicopters to replace their ageing HH-60G Pave Hawk. Lockheed Martin won the competition with their newly designed HH-60W ‘Whiskey’, built on the state-of-the-art UH-60M Black Hawk. This new helicopter design adds capability advancements to better support the full range of combat rescue (CRH) and other special missions. Particularly, the platform requirements include a robust weapons suite in order to perform critical high risk combat search and rescue and personnel recovery operations for all US military services and allies.

In 2017, Lockheed Martin selected FN Herstal to design, produce, and deliver a new family of Airborne Flex-Fire Weapon System Solutions. The FN EMGS (External Mount Gun System) was born to meet both Lockheed Martin’s and US Air Force’s requirements.

FN Herstal’s innovative spirit to maximize survivability and flexibility: The FN EMGS was designed to provide the customer with an integrated system featuring a specific mounting and interface to install three types of weapons – the .50cal FN M3M machine gun (GAU-21); but also, for the first time in FN Herstal history, third-party guns such as the GAU-18/A (unmodified) machine gun; and the 7.62mm M134 minigun – on the HH-60W windows. It allows suppressive fire against light armored vehicles, suppressive fire in landing zones, and ground and aerial threat suppression. This new system is provided in both Left-Hand Side (LHS) and Right-Hand Side (RHS) configurations. Dedicated ammunition boxes are supplied for each ammunition caliber.

Much more than a conventional weapon system, the FN EMGS also allows side firing crew served operation by the gunner and remote firing by the pilot in fixed forward mode. This unique hybrid solution offers the user the capability to maximize the use of the machine gun in a wide firing window, allowing both lateral and fixed forward protection or target engagement. This full modularity in terms of different machine guns compatibility and dual firing mode allow the aircraft to operate in a wide variety of missions.

FN Herstal CRH Program main milestones:

  • From mid-2016 until mid-2019, FN Herstal designed the new weapon system and manufactured ten different shipset prototypes required to start Lockheed Martin’s qualification process, US Air Force validation, and initial flight operations.
  • From 2020 until October 2022, FN Herstal produced and delivered twenty-five shipsets of a Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP).
  • As per official Lockheed Martin’s news last 12 October 2022, “the US Air Force declared Initial Operational Capability (IOC) for the HH-60W Jolly Green II Combat Rescue Helicopter, validating the platform’s operational readiness to forward deploy Air Force rescue crews around the globe.”
  • In November 2022, after the shipment of the complete LRIP, FN Herstal began a multi-year production and delivery program of Full-Rate-Production (FRP) systems.

The 6354RDS is optic-ready, featuring the Automatic Locking System (ALS® ), an internal locking device that retains the firearm in all directions. Once the firearm is holstered, it “locks” into place, providing an extra measure of security. The ALS is completely operable with the thumb, making it very instinctive to use, once the device is deactivated a simple straight-up draw can be used.

DSTA PARTNERS KMW TO TAP ON DATA ANALYTICS AND MACHINE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES


Singapore, March. 23rd, 2023
– Singapore’s Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on data analytics.
Established on the sidelines of the Singapore Defence Technology Summit, the agreement paves the way to focus on the use of data analytics as well as machine learning models and algorithms to generate insights for systems operated by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF). The aim is to further enhance the efficiency of maintenance and operations for the SAF’s combat vehicles. One of the new areas is the Tactical Support Bridge which DSTA has recently contracted for.
“DSTA recognizes that digitalization is a key thrust in today’s technology landscape, and that it possesses much potential to transform the way we maintain and operate our platforms. This partnership with KMW aims to accelerate DSTA’s ongoing efforts to digitalise SAF’s Fleet Management System to ensure high readiness of various platforms, as well as to reduce both operating and manpower costs”, said Mr. Roy Chan, DSTA’s Deputy Chief Executive (Operations).
“We have been working closely together for more than a decade. This MOU establishes a framework between our two organizations to improve maintenance and sustainability. It also underlines the intention to continue to work together in a spirit of trust”, said Dr. Axel Scheibel, KMW’s Chief Operating Officer (COO).


Krauss-Maffei Wegmann,
a member of the German-French defense technology group KNDS, leads the European market for highly protected wheeled and tracked vehicles. At locations in Germany, Brazil, Greece, Hungary, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the USA more than 4.000 employees develop, manufacture and support a product portfolio ranging from air-transportable, highly protected wheeled vehicles (MUNGO, AMPV*, DINGO, GFF4 and BOXER*) through reconnaissance, anti-aircraft and artillery systems (FENNEK, GEPARD, Remote Controlled Howitzer 155, Armoured Howitzer PzH2000, DONAR* and AGM) to main battle tanks (LEOPARD 1 and 2), infantry fighting vehicles (PUMA*) and bridgelaying systems. In addition, KMW has wide-ranging system competence in the area of civil and military simulation, as well as in command and information systems and remote-controlled weapon stations with reconnaissance and observation equipment. The armed forces of more than 50 nations worldwide rely on tactical systems by KMW.


The Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA)
is a top-notch technology organisation that drives innovation and delivers state-of-the-art capabilities to make the Singapore Armed Forces a formidable fighting force.

German Precision Optics Spectra – New for 2023

GPO SPECTRA

GPO, German Precision Optics, hit a homerun when in 2023 introduced the SPECTRA red dot reflex sight. It is the best design I’ve encountered for your subcompact and micro-compact CCW pistol, unless you want a mailbox sized optic sitting on your slide. In this review I introduce you to the SPECTRA 3MOA sight.

Extar USA Announces the EP45!

EXTAR Logo

Extar EP45

Lake Havasu, AZ (March 2023) Firearm innovator Extar USA has taken its popular EP9 platform to the next level with a much anticipated .45 ACP version, the EP45!

As requested by consumers, Extar kept the same ultra-compact and light weight design. The EP45 is fed using Glock-pattern pistol magazines and thanks to Extar’s unique recoil system, shoots about as softly as the 9mm does; leaving other direct-blowback designs in the dust and challenging some of the best delayed-blowback options.

Another achievement by Extar with the EP45 was engineering a .45 ACP large-format pistol that could be useful as more than just a range toy.

The EP45 Runs Hollow Points!

Extar EP45

A long-known struggle for many firearms chambered in .45 ACP has been with hollow points. The issue comes from a shorter overall loaded length and lack of a rounded nose to help in feeding.

Extar USA’s Dynamic Feed Control System tackles this issue with a unique system that can run most hollow-point and unconventional projectile designs; turning the EP45 from a range gun into the perfect home or vehicle defense tool but taking advantage of the 45’s naturally efficient energy transfer. Thanks to the 6.5″ barrel users will find that with the right loads the EP45 can generate substantial muzzle energy!

Extar EP45

Specifications:

  • · Caliber: .45 ACP
  • · Barrel Length: 6.5″
  • · Barrel Thread: 5/8-24″
  • · Capacity: Up to 30rd
  • · Magazine: Glock G21 magazine compatible – 13rd Glock brand magazine included (10rd for restricted states)
  • · Overall Length: 23.8″
  • · Overall Height: 7.9″
  • · Overall Width: 2″
  • · Weight (Unloaded): 4lbs. 8oz.
  • · Weight (w/Empty Magazine): 4lbs. 11.2oz.
  • · Bolt & Barrel Finish: BLACKNITRIDE+
  • · Trigger Action: Single-Stage
  • · Charging Handle: Left-Side, Reciprocating
  • · Receiver Extension: Includes EP Pistol Protector Cover. Compatible with our Extar Stabilizer and the SB Tactical SB-Mini, SBL, SBM4, SOB, SBX-K, or SBV braces. Adding a brace may make the pistol fall under the NFA.

As with all Extar USA products, pricing is kept to a minimum by selling direct to consumer. The Adjustable Receiver Extension is available at ExtarUSA.com

Extar EP45

About Extar USA: Since 1995 the personnel behind Extar USA have been redefining possibilities in the firearms industry. Innovations such as the first rifle-caliber polymer receiver sets, the first Glock-type magazine last round bolt hold open for personal defense weapons, and advanced recoil absorbing technologies are Extar USA’s pedigree. Today Extar’s mission is to provide lightweight, fun, and reliable firearms at a price working Americans can afford.

Big Horn Armory Announces Winning Design for Lever-Action T-Shirt Contest


Big Horn Armory Announces Winning Design for Lever-Action T-Shirt Contest

The winning design captures the essence of what makes lever-action firearms so special.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is excited to announce the winner of its Lever Action T-Shirt Design Contest. The contest invited designers to submit their best designs for a lever-action-themed T-shirt, and after many submissions and an open voting period to the public, the winning design has been selected.

The winning design, submitted by Able Bratcher, captured the essence of what makes lever-action rifles so special. The T-shirt features a message that will appeal to big-bore lever-action enthusiasts as well as T-shirt collectors. Bratcher will receive the first edition of the T-shirt when it goes into print, along with a $500 gift certificate good for one year to use on any purchase from www.bighornarmory.com.

“Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this contest. I am proud to be associated with a great American company,” commented Bratcher.

“We were blown away by the number of entries we received and the level of creativity each designer brought to the contest,” remarked Greg Buchel, President of Big Horn Armory. “The voters had a difficult decision to make, but we are thrilled with the design that Able submitted.”

The new T-shirt will be inspired by Bratcher’s design and will be available for purchase on BHA’s website in the coming months. BHA encourages everyone to keep an eye out for future contests and promotions.

“We want to thank all the designers who participated in our contest,” added Buchel. “We are excited to share our love for lever-action rifles with this new T-shirt design, and we hope our customers will enjoy it as much as we do.”

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.

CZ-USA’s Top Turkey Shotgun Picks for Tagging Spring Gobblers

CZ-USA’s Top Turkey Shotgun Picks for Tagging Spring Gobblers

Kansas City, KS (March 23, 2023) – Spring gobbler season is firing up, and CZ is making sure hunters are well-gunned as they hit the turkey woods. Two hard-hitting 12-gauge shotgun options will allow hunters to carry more longbeards over their shoulders.

CZ Reaper Magnum is CZ-USA’s over/under designed for max flexibility in those common situations where gobblers either strut into a hunter’s lap or hang up at the outer margins of range. Clad in Mossy Oak Obsession Camo the Reaper is built to slay turkeys with the same 3 ½” chambers of the Swamp Magnum.

The beauty of hunting with an over/under is that each barrel can be equipped with a different choke. A simple flip of the selector switch lets hunters pick which barrel to fire, whether putting an open choke in the bottom barrel for optimal effectiveness at close range or an extra full choke in the top barrel to deliver lethal pellets at longer distances.

Hunters will appreciate the shorter barrels that allow them to be more maneuverable in the woods or blind. The Picatinny-style rail allows hunters to add a favorite optic atop for the best assurance of shot placement. The gun accepts all potent 3 ½-inch turkey loads and all 2 ¾” and 3” loads. At 7 pounds, with a 26-inch barrel and sling swivels front and back, the Reaper Magnum is easy to carry and maneuver. It comes with five extended interchangeable chokes.

CZ 612 Magnum Turkey is created for the turkey woods. This pump-action shotgun sports an effective springtime camo pattern in the Mossy Oak obsession and comes equipped with two chokes. One choke is extra-full to deliver maximum pellets to the gobbler’s kill zone, and the other is modified for upland hunting and steel shot.

The 612 Magnum turkey comes with a rail that can be added atop the receiver for an optic of choice. The 8mm flat vent rib has a bead at the muzzle, weighs 6.8 pounds, accepts 3 ½-inch, 3”, and 2 ¾” shotshells, and has a 26-inch barrel.

CZ Reaper Magnum Specifications:

  • · SKU: 06588
  • · Chambering: 12-gauge
  • · Barrel Length: 26-inch
  • · Chokes: 5 Extended Black (Cyl, Mod, Imp Mod, Full, Xtra-Full)

VORTEX EDGE™ LAUNCHES YOUTUBE SERIES FOR NEW GUN OWNERS

March 22, 2023

BARNEVELD, Wis. – It’s no secret an unprecedented number of new guns owners have joined our community in recent years, including 5.4 million in 2021 alone. And, while resources like YouTube are full of useful content for gun owners in general, help for brand new shooters is harder to find. New to Guns is a YouTube series from Vortex Edge that fixes that problem, talking directly to new gun owners buying and using firearms for the first time.
In
New to Guns, we take as close to a “zero assumptions” approach as possible while explaining the buying, owning, and use of firearms. Pistols, AR-15’s, precision rifles, hunting rifles, and everything related to these guns will be covered in our weekly videos.
Because our crew has decades of firearms experience, and it’s easy to take many of the things we consider “no-brainers” for granted, we encourage questions and callouts in the comments section. We’re committed to responding to as many commenters as possible, making these videos an interactive conversation that’s welcoming to new shooters.
Find
New to Guns on the Vortex Edge™ YouTube channel. In coming episodes, we’ll be buying new pistols both in-person and online demystify the entire process. We’ll also talk buying ammo, accessories, optics, and of course putting it all together on the range for the first time.
Catch the first episode,
“New to Guns – Why You Need a Pistol.”

Lithium Pros® Newest Addition To Their Trolling Motor Series: The TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Battery

Fish All Day With Lithium Pros® Newest Addition To Their Trolling Motor Series: The TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Battery

Knoxville, TN (March 22, 2023) – While trolling is one of the more entertaining–and rewarding– forms of fishing, it does require more effort, gear, and a trolling motor battery that can last from daybreak to sunset. Traditional lead-acid batteries are heavy, cumbersome, and take hours to recharge, costing anglers valuable space, weight, and time that could be better spent with their lines in the water. Lithium Pros® newest addition to their Trolling Motor (TM) Series of Lithium Ion batteries solves all of the problems associated with traditional lead-acid batteries; at a price point that makes sense for any dedicated fisherman.

Lithium Pros’ Trolling Motor series of batteries is specifically designed for trolling motors and other deep-cycle marine applications. The TM24100 Lithium Ion Trolling battery was explicitly manufactured to upgrade standard BCI group 24 lead-acid batteries and is intended to provide power to 12V trolling motors, 12V marine electronics, electric motors, motive power, and other forms of energy storage. It is perfect for trolling motors up to 36V. As with all Lithium Pros’ lithium-ion batteries, the TM24100 is powered by top-quality lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry and is built with the best lithium-ion cells tested to the UL1642 standard.

A single TM24100 Trolling Motor battery contains more stored energy that a typical Group 31 AGM battery and yet fits in a typical group 24 case. At only 26 lbs., it weighs even less than one standard lead-acid battery.

The TM24100 offers 100 amp hours (1280 whr) and 230 reserve minutes of energy, so you can fish from dawn till dusk. Then, it recharges up to five times faster than a traditional lead-acid battery, so you’ll be ready to do it all over again at first light. The TM24100 provides a cycle life of over 2000 cycles, so you can troll every day, all day, without worrying about your battery.

Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries contain no toxic materials and emit no harmful gasses, so they’re a positive environmentally-conscious choice. Additionally, the TM24100 Trolling Motor battery features one of the most advanced internal battery management systems in the industry. The system detects over and under temperature, voltage, and current, as well as short circuits, and then automatically balances the cells to protect the battery if necessary.

Conveniently, the new TM24100 Lithium Ion Trolling battery can be charged with any existing 12V AGM compatible battery charger without a desulfation mode. It has an IP65 water-resistant, durable housing, ready to go wherever you need it!

For dedicated anglers who will benefit from a trolling motor battery that is safe to use, reliable, recharges quickly, offers superior charge efficiency, and has enough battery life to last all day, the Lithium Pros TM24100 12.8V battery is the one to choose.

TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Trolling Battery Features:

  • · Great for trolling motors up to 36V
  • · High-power lithium ion phosphate
  • · Lightweight design
  • · Advanced internal battery management system
  • · Contains no toxic materials
  • · Emits no harmful gasses
  • · Can be charged with a typical AGM battery charger (without a desulfation mode and with a float voltage of less than 13.6V and an output voltage of less than 14.6V.)

TM24100 12.8V 100ah Lithium Ion Trolling Battery Specs:

  • · 12.8V
  • · 100 Amp Hours (1280 Wh)
  • · 230 reserve minutes
  • · BCI group 24 size (10.23 in. L x 6.61 in. W x 8.24 in. T)
  • · IP65 water-resistant
  • · 26 lbs.
  • · 2000+ cycles

About Lithium Pros

Lithium Pros was founded in 2011 and focuses on building lithium-ion batteries with the specific purpose to replace lead-acid batteries for use in demanding applications. They strive to uphold the ideals detailed in their mission statement: “Through constant innovation, create high-power lithium-ion battery packs that are safe, easy to install, and start an engine like nothing else.”

Grey Man Introduces the New Vehicle Rifle Rack

Grey Man Tactical™ Introduces the Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X 21 RMP™ [Nut & Bolt]

Lafayette, LA – Grey Man Tactical™, a leading provider of mounting solutions introduces the all-new Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X 21 RMP™ [Nut & Bolt], removing the need for backer plates. The package is designed to provide optimal storage solutions, while reliably and securely transporting firearms and gear within a vehicle. The compact design of the 12.25 X 21 RMP™ provides a smaller profile than the previous 15.25 X 25 RMP™ Vehicle Rifle Rack Package.

The updated RMP™ design allows rubber clamps to be mounted without the use of aluminum RMP Backer Plates™, using integrated slots.

The Vehicle Rifle Rack – Rubber Clamps + 12.25 X2 1RMP™ is built to last and withstand the toughest conditions from everyday use. Rubber Clamps are designed to securely hold your firearm in place, preventing any shifting during transportation.



“We are thrilled to offer gun owners a reliable and secure way to transport their firearm in their vehicle,” said Grey Man Tactical CEO, Paul Capdepon. “The Vehicle Rifle Rack is an excellent solution for those who need to stow their firearm while driving, while also having quick access at a moment’s notice.”

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.

Big Horn Armory Mourns the Loss of its Friend, John Linebaugh

Big Horn Armory Mourns the Loss of its Friend, John Linebaugh

John Linebaugh, 67, of Clark, Wyoming, passed away on March 19, 2023.

Cody, Wyo. (March 2023)Big Horn Armory (BHA), makers of big-bore firearms, is saddened by the recent loss of its dear friend and industry legend, John Linebaugh. Linebaugh passed away on March 19, 2023, at his home. A fellow Wyomingite, Linebaugh was an American gunsmith who gained international renown for creating custom revolvers in the largest calibers in the world. He invented the .500 Linebaugh caliber — the first successful .50 caliber revolver (and cartridge) in 1986. He is also credited with inventing the .475 Linebaugh cartridge, which he perfected in 1988.

“John was a pioneer in the use of big bore, heavy bullets in handguns. He predates Smith & Wesson’s 500 S&W by almost 20 years. They probably would not have created the X Frame guns without his inspiration,” commented Greg Buchel, president of Big Horn Armory.

He continued, “his handguns were near perfection. The first time I fired one of his guns many years ago was at a range event he and I both attended. He handed me his gun out of his holster. The first thing I noticed was how perfect the fit and function were. It wasn’t necessarily the prettiest gun I ever saw, but even after years of use and who knows how many rounds it fired, the gun was mechanical jewelry.”

The friendship between BHA and Linebaugh began at the Wyoming Outdoorsman Annual fundraiser several years ago when Linebaugh approached Buchel at his table. After chatting for a while, the idea for a collaboration was born. The idea was discussed several times in the following months, and one night over a couple of bourbons, the two decided to produce a limited edition, super-premium boxed set containing one 500 Linebaugh lever gun and one 500 Linebaugh revolver. Included would be exhibition-grade wood, octagon barrels, and color case hardened receivers all packaged in an oak presentation box.

“John’s work and friendship will never be forgotten. We have truly lost one of the greats. Our entire Big Horn Armory family sends our deepest condolences to his family and to all who were blessed to know him,” said Buchel.

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.
