NSSF’s ‘Gun Storage Check Week’ is Sept. 1-7 During National Suicide Prevention Month

Securely storing firearms creates ‘time and distance’ and can prevent suicide. Win a Winchester gun safe at GunStorageCheck.org.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, recognizes the importance of National Suicide Prevention Month by running its Gun Storage Check Week^® campaign September 1-7. Gun Storage Check Week reminds firearm owners to review their storage practices to “Make Sure It’s Secure^®.”

“In partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), NSSF works diligently to provide the firearm-owning community with education about preventing suicide,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO. “One of the most effective methods for preventing suicide is deterring access to firearms and other means during a time of crisis. That’s why during Gun Storage Check Week we’re asking gun owners and their families to do their part to help prevent suicide, as well as accidents and thefts, by securely storing firearms when not in use.”

During Gun Storage Check Week, visitors to GunStorageCheck.org can enter to win a full-size Bandit 19 gun safe donated by Winchester Safes. Additional entries to win can be earned by watching a short video on suicide prevention. Also on the website is a new video from Winchester featuring TV show host Melissa Bachman on how to maintain an orderly gun safe.

Noting that 58 percent of firearm fatalities are suicide deaths and 74 percent of veteran suicides involve a firearm, Bartozzi said, “Gun owners and their families have it in their power to save lives. Securely storing firearms creates ‘time and distance’ between a person with suicidal thoughts and a method of self-harm. This pause allows time for immediate thoughts of suicide to pass and for connecting a person to care.” Temporary offsite storage is also an option but remember to follow all applicable firearm transfer laws.

“It’s important to know that suicide is preventable,” added Bartozzi. “All of us can become more open to talking about mental health challenges and life struggles that may increase the risk of suicide, and we can discuss storage options to prevent access when someone is going through a difficult time. Supporting someone who is struggling and being respectful of the right to own firearms can go together.”

On GunStorageCheck.org, NSSF provides the NSSF-AFSP brochure on suicide prevention that discusses warning signs and how to have a “brave conversation” with someone you’re worried about. NSSF also has added resources for veterans, including links to the VA’s “Don’t wait. Reach out” program. The NSSF-AFSP suicide prevention toolkit is available to firearm retailers and shooting ranges.

NSSF encourages everyone to remember the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: 988 is the number to call/text/chat if you or someone you know is struggling.

Storage Devices

Gun Storage Check Week’s safety resources highlight many options to store firearms securely so that guns are off limits to unauthorized persons. Secure gun storage devices include:

cable locks—often available free of charge, including through NSSF’s Project ChildSafe^® program
lock boxes—storage solutions for guns kept for home security and in vehicles
lockable gun cases—for security and portability
full-size gun cabinets and safes—for owners with multiple firearms to protect, including against fire and theft.
Digital devices linked to apps that warn owners when safes or firearms are tampered with or jostled.

“Periodically, gun owners should review their firearm storage practices because people’s lives change—a child grows older and becomes more curious, a teenager or adult happens to be going through a rough patch in life,” said Bartozzi. “These and other situations might require a change in storage habits or devices.

“Make Gun Storage Check Week the time you check on safety in your home by making sure firearms are secured from unwanted access,” added Bartozzi.

Promotional Materials

Organizations, companies, law enforcement and individuals can help increase the visibility of Gun Storage Check Week by using promotional materials available at GunStorageCheck.org. NSSF established Gun Storage Check Week as a national awareness campaign in 2024, and with the assistance of its industry and organizational partners Gun Storage Check Week has reached millions of gun owners with its “Make Sure It’s Secure” message.

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 Hornady Hot Tub Sonic Cleaner’s 25.5” tank easily accommodates many barrels and actions from gas-operated firearms, such as AR-style rifles and gas-operated shotguns. In addition to having four transducers, the Hot Tub Sonic Cleaner utilizes an integrated heating element to enhance cleaning action. Combined with One Shot® Sonic Clean™ solution, the Hornady Hot Tub microjet action removes carbon residue and other debris from cartridge cases, gun parts, and other metal equipment.

Hornady Hot Tub™ Sonic Cleaner Features

Cleans internal and external surfaces of cartridge cases and primer pockets.
It features one inner tank for cleaning multiple smaller batches or using separate solutions at the same time.
Hanging cords enable large objects to fully utilize the ultrasonic energy.
Includes a small parts basket.
De‑gas function.
5 temperature settings from 100‑140°F.

The large 2-liter stainless steel tank holds up to three hundred .223 cases or one hundred fifty .308 cases, driving efficiency and productivity. The cleaner’s 5- to 30-minute timer allows multiple cycle options, depending on the application.

U. S. Air Force Global Strike Command Reinstates the M18 Pistol

Confirms the safety, reliability, and durability of the P320-based M18

Newington, NH (August 27, 2025). SIG SAUER applauds the USAF and the Global Strike Command in their diligence and expediency in the safety inspection related to the investigation into the tragic incident at F.E. Warren Air Force Base.

We remain in direct contact with the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) leadership during this process and will continue to work with them as they return the M18 to service and provide Airmen with safe, reliable, and effective weapon systems.

As affirmed by the AFGSC, the M18 was specifically designed and rigorously tested to meet stringent requirements unique to the military. The AFGSC command-wide inspection showed that no weapon discharges were attributed to a malfunction and the M18 can safely and reliably accomplish their missions across the globe.

We value this further confirmation of the safety, reliability, and durability of the P320-based M18 and look forward to continuing our partnership with the USAF. The U.S. military selected the M18 and M17 pistols for their safety and extreme reliability. The AFGSC’s comprehensive M18 investigation and inspection validates the platform’s military suitability. SIG SAUER is hopeful the USAF’s thorough inspection and confirmation will satisfy the concerns of ranges, training facilities and organizations who temporarily suspended the use of P320 variants.

The SIG SAUER P320-based M17 and M18 pistols are in service with all branches of the U.S. military and SIG SAUER is extremely proud to support the mission to protect the nation and defend freedom around the world.

Shell Shock Technologies Sponsored Shooter John Vlieger Secures Top Ten Finish at 2025 US IPSC National Championships

Posted on Thursday, 28 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Shell Shock Technologies Sponsored Shooter John Vlieger Secures Top Ten Finish at 2025 US IPSC National Championships

Vlieger takes 7^th place in the highly competitive Open Division and prepares for the IPSC Handgun World Shoot in South Africa.

Eubank, KY (August 2025) – Shell Shock Technologies, LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, John Vlieger, finished 7th in the Open Division out of 154 competitors at the 2025 US IPSC National Championships in Marengo, Ohio. The match, held over three days, featured 421 competitors across multiple divisions, with Vlieger completing 24 stages, totaling 350.43 seconds, and earning 1,933.816 match points—94% of the available points.

“The 2025 US IPSC National Championships had 24 technically demanding stages over 3 days, and the only limitation on my performance was between my ears,” said Vlieger. “Over 400 rounds, 45,000 steps, and more miniature steel targets than I thought possible, all without an issue or complaint from my gear. I’ve used Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS³ cases for my major match ammo since 2017 to cut down on the unexpected, and that decision bore fruit once again. IPSC competition places large emphasis on small targets, timing, and technical execution, where a malfunction can cost way more than expected. The IPSC World Shoot is next in South Africa, and I intend to stay true to what works.”

Vlieger, ranked 28th out of 2,245 shooters worldwide and 9th out of 91 in the USA, will represent the United States at the 2025 IPSC Handgun World Shoot, taking place September 11 – 28, 2025, in Matlosana, South Africa.

“My training has been focused on precision and reliability, and I trust the same in my gear—especially the NAS³ cases from Shell Shock Technologies,” added Vlieger. “The World Shoot is held only once every three years and brings together the top shooters from over 100 nations, making it the highest level of competition in practical shooting. I look forward to testing myself against the best shooters in the world.”

“John’s dedication to the sport and trust in Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ cases exemplify the level of precision and reliability our products are designed to provide,” said Peter Foss, Managing Partner and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “We are proud to support him as he represents the United States on the world stage.”

About Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ Cases:

NAS³ cases are 50 percent lighter than brass cases, offer greater lubricity, and will not abrade, clog, foul, wear out, or damage breach and ejector mechanisms. The cases offer greater corrosion resistance, tensile strength (2x stronger), and elasticity than brass. NAS³ cases will not split, chip, crack, or grow (stretch). The pistol cases are fully reloadable (using S3 Reload dies) and can be reloaded many more times than brass cases. NAS³cases can be picked up with a magnet. The head can be colored for branding purposes and easy load identification.

NAS³ is “Best in Class” for maintaining consistent velocity between rounds. In an independent test performed by H.P. White Laboratory (a major munitions testing facility), rounds fired using NAS³ cases achieved a velocity standard deviation of 0.093 FPS (124-grain FMJ bullet, 4.2 grains Titegroup powder, ten rounds, extreme variation 3fps).

With national titles, regional championships and years of competitive experience under her belt, Abby offers an honest and insightful look at the transition from student-athlete to young professional.

Shotgun Stories: How the Syren L4S Connects a Mother and Daughter

I recently interviewed Maggie Kelch and her daughter, Jessica, both avid clay target shooters, hunters and all around outdoorsy ladies. Maggie and I shoot sporting clays on Ladies Night at Hill’n Dale Club in Montville, Ohio, and her daughter (a school teacher) joins our group from time to time. Both of these ladies are great shots and love their Syren L4S shotguns. Find out how things have changed for them along the way.

Before getting into the Q&A, you must know that Syren USA, has only been around since 2014. So what’s really interesting is reading about what things were like before the Syren brand began making shotguns specifically for women.

Dove Hunting Tips: Getting after the Grey Ghosts

If you’re like me, you wish away the summer, even cursing it for interrupting your hunt season and making you hang up your bird vest. The mid-Atlantic can be a bit brutal, though, especially in September when the season comes back. It also sees its fair share of hurricanes and flat-out ugly thunderstorms. The dove migration is highly susceptible to these strong storms, and you’ll often hear chatter about the birds getting “blown out.”

It doesn’t take but a week or two for the birds to become educated and even more evasive, giving them that oh-so-appropriate name, “Grey Ghosts.” So, with such fickle and punishing weather and temperamental targets, why do so few utilize the summer months to prepare?

Rotapoint’s Watch Cap is a Game-Changer in Target Engagement Speed

Posted on Wednesday, 27 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Rotapoint’s Watch Cap™ is a Game-Changer in Target Engagement Speed

Already in the hands of winning teams, the Watch Cap™ redefines red dot positioning for professional shooters and is now officially patented and available.

Watch Cap™ at Chaos Concepts’ Legion Team Sniper Challenge

Ashburn, Va. (August 2025) — Rotapoint Systems LLC, designers and manufacturers of advanced sighting solutions, proudly announces the official launch of its Watch Cap™, a precision-engineered, bore-concentric optic mounting solution designed to help snipers transition to magnified optics with unprecedented speed—without sacrificing situational awareness. Quietly adopted by top-tier military shooting teams over the past year, as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Watch Cap has already proven itself on the podium, earning top placements in some of the world’s most demanding sniper competitions.

“The Watch Cap has changed the way elite shooters approach high-pressure environments. When seconds count, it’s the difference between acquiring a target or missing a window of opportunity,” said Dave Sugg, founder of Rotapoint Systems. “Like our entire product line, we designed it to give shooters every possible edge—and it’s already outperforming expectations on the field.”

First introduced at SHOT Show 2024, the Watch Cap has helped win:

Chaos Concepts’ Legion Team Sniper Challenge – 1st, 2nd & 4th Place (May 2025)
Special Operations Warrior Foundation’s Heart Mountain Challenge, Cody, WY – 1st Place (June 2025)
Nightforce ELR Steel Challenge, Glenrock, WY – 2^nd Place (July 2025)
Kinetic Comps’ Marathon Mountain Sniper Challenge – 1st Place (July 2025)

At multiple events, shooters running Watch Caps outperformed those who didn’t—sometimes even overcoming more experienced competitors. The message is clear: a Watch Cap may be the force multiplier you didn’t know you needed.

The product is now officially patented (U.S. Patent D1,083,008 S, with additional patents pending) and continues to grow in popularity across the competitive and professional sniper communities. Designed and machined in the USA from aircraft-grade 7075-T651 aluminum and finished with Type III hardcoat anodizing, each model is precision machined to withstand the rigors of operational environments.

Watch Cap Models (MSRP $129.95 unless otherwise noted):

34mm Geissele® Super Precision & Reptilia® AUS Mounts / RMR Footprint – RH
34mm Nightforce® Mounts & Rings / Aimpoint® Acro® Footprint – Ambi
35mm Badger Ordnance® C1 Mounts / RMR Footprint – RH

34mm Seekins® / Vortex® CM-534 Mounts / DPP – Ambi

NEW for Summer 2025:

Watch Cap™ for Spuhr® Rings & Mounts – Acro Footprint (MSRP $74.95)

This newest variant features a proprietary wedge shape for optimized red dot positioning on Spuhr mounts, allowing simultaneous use of a front-mounted laser range finder and a rear red dot. Weighing just 0.6 oz and made in the USA from 7075T651 aluminum, this model was used on every stage by the winner of the 2025 Heart Mountain Challenge.

NSSF Files Letter with Federal Trade Commission Urging Examination of Biden-Era Abuses

Posted on Wednesday, 27 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

August 26, 2025

NSSF Files Letter with Federal Trade Commission Urging Examination of Biden-Era Abuses

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Chairman Andrew Ferguson urging the FTC to support President Donald Trump’s Executive Order Protecting Second Amendment Rights by conducting a thorough review of relationships and activities by the Biden FTC with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that propagated “whole of government” infringements on Second Amendment rights.

Gun control groups were welcomed to the Biden White House, including through the now-defunct White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, that built a reciprocal relationship to attack Second Amendment rights and the firearm industry that makes exercising those rights possible. As part of a coordinated “lawfare” campaign, gun control NGOs aligned with the Biden administration coordinated to publish a series of misleading “complaints” urging the FTC to investigate and a take legal action against truthful and constitutionally-protected firearm advertising.

“Countering President Biden’s ‘whole of government’ effort to infringe the Second Amendment necessitates a whole of government response by this administration,” wrote Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel, to Chairman Ferguson. “Likewise, the particular focus from the Biden Administration and NGOs on co-opting the Biden-era FTC for their unconstitutional agenda, necessitates decisive action from the current Commission.”

Specifically, NSSF urged the FTC to take the following actions to implement President Trump’s Executive Order:

Issue a statement publicly reaffirming the Commission’s commitment to protecting Second Amendment rights, consistent with the Executive Order;
Review actions during the last administration to determine the full nature and extent of the pressure exerted by the Biden White House on former commissioners and staff to infringe Second Amendment rights;
Review actions during the last administration by former commissioners and staff to determine whether they improperly aligned themselves with anti-Second Amendment NGOs, utilized Commission resources to aid those groups, or otherwise engaged in conduct that infringed the Second Amendment;
Refer any relevant findings to the Attorney General; and
Promote full public transparency of the foregoing by making public the results of the Commission’s inquiry.

NSSF detailed the Biden administration’s abuses of government authority to enrich and empower gun control organizations aligned with the former administration’s antigun efforts. Those included wielding the FTC as one lever of governmental power to silence constitutionally-protected free speech through advertising, lucrative and dubious gun control fundraising campaigns, and misleading and deceptive legal claims against firearm manufacturers.

Streamlight Launches Sidewinder Compact III

Posted on Wednesday, 27 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

STREAMLIGHT^® LAUNCHES SIDEWINDER COMPACT^®III

Ultra-Compact, Multi-Fuel Flashlight with 185° Tilting Head, Mounting Options, and a User-Configurable LED Option

EAGLEVILLE, PA, August 26, 2025 – Streamlight^® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, announced the launch of the Sidewinder Compact^® III, an ultra compact, high-performance, multi-fuel flashlight with multiple LED sources. This light is engineered to meet a variety of hands-free task illumination requirements with various color LEDs that are operable at varying outputs and run times. With its 185-degree tilting head, durable build, gear and helmet mounting capabilities, the Sidewinder Compact III delivers powerful performance in a lightweight, highly versatile form.

The new Sidewinder Compact III features a user-configurable model with LED options that allows users to select two of three color LEDs (red, green or blue) in addition to standard white and infrared (IR) outputs. The military model includes white, red, blue and IR LEDs, while the aviation model contains white, green, red and IR LEDs. Each LED operates at multiple brightness levels, and includes a strobe mode. The light uses either one AA alkaline or one 3-volt CR123A lithium battery, offering flexible power options and extended run time in extreme environments.

“We engineered this light with versatility at its core,” said Michael F. Dineen, President of Streamlight. “It offers a powerful combination of compact design, high performance, and rugged reliability. Whether it’s mounted on a helmet, clipped to a vest, or used handheld, the Sidewinder Compact III is ready to perform.”

The light’s white LED provides up to 275 lumens and 3,200 candela on High with a beam distance of 113 meters. Run times range from 70+ hours on Low when using an AA battery, and 100+ hours when a CR123A battery is inserted. The light’s color and IR LEDs also offer long run times and are ideal for preserving night vision, signaling, or task-specific visibility needs.

The Sidewinder Compact III was designed with a compound On-Off mode selector switch that separates the On-Off, dimming, strobe and LED-selection functions. The rotary selector knob features a tactile IR indicator and pull-to-turn locking design that provides easy operation even with gloves, while also preventing accidental mode changes. The light also features an unbreakable polycarbonate lens with scratch-resistant coating.

The Sidewinder Compact III includes a durable belt/gear clip with integrated helmet mount features, which fits existing Sidewinder^® helmet mounts adapters. A cord attachment hole on the clip supports up to 25 lbs. pounds of load.

Constructed from high-impact nylon, the Sidewinder Compact III is built to withstand rugged use. It is IPX7 waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes and impact-tested to 3 meters.

Measuring 3.1 inches long, the light weighs 3 ounces with a AA battery and 2.7 ounces when using one CR123A lithium battery. The light has an MSRP that ranges from $137.47 to $198.22, depending on the model. The Sidewinder Compact III is available in Coyote and comes with Streamlight’s One-Year Limited Warranty.

Posted on Wednesday, 27 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Supple Launches Supple Squad Gives Back Program with First Charitable Partner: Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.)

New partnership kicks off with support to help C.O.P.S. rebuild the lives of survivors impacted by line-of-duty deaths.

Neenah, Wis. (August 2025) – SUPPLE, a 7-day fast-acting, premium joint health dietary supplement trusted by customers since 2006, is proud to announce its newest philanthropic effort, the Supple Squad Gives Back program. This program aims to support charities within the military, veteran, first responder, and K9 working dog communities. Supple’s first charitable partner in this Gives Back program is Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.), a 501(c)3 non-profit organization rebuilding the shattered lives of surviving family members and co-workers affected by a line-of-duty death.

This partnership with C.O.P.S. reflects Supple’s ongoing commitment to the health, resilience, and recovery of those who serve and those left behind. Supple will make initial and additional contributions based on the success of their partnership over time. Supple may also support C.O.P.S. events throughout the year by attending in person or donating products.

“C.O.P.S. is grateful for the support of companies like Supple, who not only see the value in our mission of rebuilding shattered lives, but they produce a product that puts wellness and health at the forefront for our men and women in uniform,” stated Sara Slone, National Outreach Director at C.O.P.S.

Founded in 1984, C.O.P.S. serves over 80,000 surviving family members and co-workers of fallen law enforcement officers. Through programs, counseling, camps, and national events, C.O.P.S. works to rebuild the lives of those affected by line-of-duty deaths, including felonious, accidental, medical, illness, and suicide, as defined by the Public Safety Officer Support Act of 2022.

“Supple is proud to support C.O.P.S., an organization that shares our belief in supporting those who’ve sacrificed the most,” said Peter Apatow, Founder and CEO of Supple. “As we expand our Supple Squad Initiative to honor law enforcement and first responder communities, giving back to survivors and their families is not just a mission, it’s our responsibility.”

The Supple Squad Gives Back program is part of a larger effort to align Supple with causes that promote service, strength, and recovery. As the program grows, more non-profits will be added to the initiative. If you are a charitable organization within the military, veteran, law enforcement, firefighter, medical / EMS / TEMS, or K9 working dog communities and are interested in partnering through the Supple Squad Gives Back program, please send inquiries to ashley@lauraburgess.com.

The Burris XTR Pro Series is built for shooters who demand absolute precision, speed, and reliability—whether on the clock at a PRS match or pushing limits at long range. Every detail is engineered with purpose, giving competitors and tactical shooters the advantage they need when it matters most.
Why It Stands Out

Match-Ready Optic – Designed with direct input from pro shooters, the XTR PS delivers the clarity, tracking, and repeatability needed to shave seconds and secure impacts.
Razor-Sharp Glass – Premium ED glass delivers edge-to-edge clarity and color accuracy, making target ID and shot placement fast and confident.
First-Rate Reticles – Advanced competition reticles (SCR 2, SCR 2 ¼, etc.) offer precise holdovers, wind holds, and intuitive layouts that keep you fast in dynamic stages.
Pro-Level Adjustments – Tool-less zero system with a locking windage turret and an oversized, race-ready elevation knob for instant, confident corrections.
Built to Endure – A rugged, purpose-driven design that thrives under recoil, weather, and the punishment of competition travel.

Who It’s For

PRS & NRL Competitors who need glass and turrets they can trust when seconds and fractions of a mil make all the difference.
Tactical Professionals requiring absolute durability and precision in critical environments.
Dedicated Long-Range Shooters pushing distance with repeatable, rock-solid adjustments and confidence in their optic.

The Competitive Edge
From the barricade to the backcountry, the Burris XTR Pro Series isn’t just a scope—it’s a confidence multiplier. Faster adjustments, clearer glass, and a design that shrugs off abuse mean shooters stay locked on target, stage after stage, shot after shot.

Hydra Weaponry Launches Labor Day Sale

Posted on Wednesday, 27 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Hydra Weaponry Launches Labor Day Sale

Save 10 percent on all interchangeable magazine wells now through Sept. 5, 2025.

Hampden, Maine (August 2025) – Hydra Weaponry, Maine’s largest firearms employer, designer, and manufacturer of the truly modular Hydra® Weapon System,Hydra® Weapon System, is marking Labor Day 2025 with a limited-time promotion on its signature interchangeable magazine wells. From now through Sept. 5, 2025, customers will receive 10 percent off on any interchangeable magazine well purchased directly through www.hydraweaponry.com. The discount will be automatically applied at checkout.

The Hydra Interchangeable Magazine Well system is at the core of Hydra Weaponry’s modular platform, offering shooters the ability to adapt their rifles across a wide range of calibers and magazine types with a simple swap. Engineered for rapid caliber conversion and reliable performance, Hydra Interchangeable Magazine Wells are compatible with both Hydra’s proprietary Quick Change Barrel (QCB) upper receivers and many other manufacturers’ uppers. The lineup includes models for AR-15, AK-47, 9mm/40SW Glock-style, 10mm/45ACP Glock-style, MP5, Grease Gun, Colt SMG, and even California-compliant configurations, ensuring flexibility for enthusiasts, professionals, and restricted markets alike.

Among the most popular options is the Hydra AR Modular Magazine Well, regarded as the most versatile in the series. This mag well supports standard AR-15 magazines, allowing calibers such as 5.56, .223, and .300 BLK to be run with a simple bolt and barrel change. Its adaptability makes it a cornerstone for users looking to maximize the multi-caliber capabilities of the Hydra platform without sacrificing reliability or ease of use.

Another top choice is the Hydra AK-47 Modular Magazine Well, designed specifically for 7.62×39 and compatible with Warsaw Pact steel and modern polymer AK magazines. Unlike traditional AK platforms that require two-handed magazine changes, the Hydra AK-47 Mag Well allows for smooth, one-handed magazine ejection with a straight drop, increasing speed and efficiency. The drop-on design installs without tools in under a minute, while maintaining the operator’s trigger feel and ergonomics. This mag well resolves the feeding challenges common in other caliber-conversion systems, making it one of the most in-demand upgrades for Hydra users.

Starting with the development of the Bushmaster pistol, rifle, and submachine gun, the Gwinn family has set a high standard of designing innovative firearm platforms built around the actual needs of tactical operators, often fighting in extreme conditions and environments.

Hi Mountain Seasoning Introduces Original Pepperoni Sausage Kit

Hi Mountain Seasoning Introduces Original Pepperoni Sausage Kit

RIVERTON, Wyo. (August 25, 2025) — Hi Mountain Seasonings, the leading manufacturer of homemade jerky and sausage-making kits, is proud to introduce its new Original Pepperoni Sausage Kit, now available for just $14.99. Designed for home chefs, hunters, and food enthusiasts, this kit makes it easy to craft authentic pepperoni sausage from the comfort of your kitchen, all while giving you the power to select your favorite cuts of meat, so you know exactly what’s going into your food.

Pepperoni has long been America’s favorite pizza topping, with roots in Italian American cuisine dating back to the early 20th century. Although its name originates from the Italian word “peperoni,” meaning “bell peppers,” pepperoni is a distinct creation that emerged in New York City’s Italian immigrant communities in the 1920s. By the 1950s and 1960s, it became the go-to topping for pizza, gaining nationwide popularity and ultimately cementing its place as an American food icon.
The new Hi Mountain Seasonings Original Pepperoni Sausage Kit lets you bring that rich culinary tradition to your table. Each kit seasons up to 10 lbs. of meat – beef, wild game, or pork – allowing you to make authentic pepperoni in small batches of just 2 pounds at a time if desired. Inside the kit, you’ll find one 4.2 oz packet of Hi Mountain cure, one 4.55 oz packet of Hi Mountain Seasonings’ carefully crafted Original Pepperoni Seasonings, one 1.25 oz packet of citric acid, five collagen casings, and complete instructions for easy use.
True to Hi Mountain Seasonings’ commitment to quality, the kit is made with premium ingredients and is gluten-free. The included seasoning combines a perfect blend of salt, spices, garlic, mustard seed, and natural flavors to deliver that classic, slightly spicy taste that has made pepperoni the nation’s most beloved pizza topping.
Whether you’re making homemade pizza, experimenting with charcuterie, or processing wild game, the new Hi Mountain Seasonings Original Pepperoni Sausage Kit gives you the tools to create bold, delicious pepperoni that celebrates the tradition while letting you craft it your way.
The new Original Pepperoni Sausage Kit is available nationwide at retailers and easily online at https://himtnjerky.com/. Along with this new product, you’ll find much more on the Hi Mountain Seasonings website, including free recipes guaranteed to help you create delicious meals. Why not check it out today?

Located in the heart of Wyoming, Hi Mountain Seasonings was founded in 1991 and is America’s premier manufacturer of homemade jerky and sausage kits.
