Adept Armor Introduces the First Future-Proofed Armor Plate: the Colossus™

After years of R&D in ceramic armor materials and systems, Adept Armor proudly announces an armor plate strong enough to counter today’s AP threats, as well as the AP threats of tomorrow, with the new Colossus™ Armor Plate.

Tulsa, Okla. (March 2022)Adept Armor, an armor system engineering firm, announces the latest evolution in ceramic armor with the Colossus™ Armor Plate offering protective capabilities beyond Level IV or RF3 plates. The Colossus was designed from the ground up using the most advanced materials available to produce the strongest plate in its category, yet weighing significantly less than the average Level IV or RF3 plate at just over six pounds.

The Colossus was built and tested to VPAM 12 with a ballistic rating for 7.62x51mm Swiss P AP (tungsten core) at 810 m/s. VPAM is the European standard for testing and measurement of ballistic materials and products. Additionally, the Colossus is also rated for:

  • · VPAM 11 – 7.62x51mm M993 (tungsten core) at 940 m/s
  • · Level IV (RF3) – .30-06 AP M2 at 880 m/s
  • · Special threats
  • · 7..62x54mmR Bf32 API at 860 m/s
  • · 5.56x45mm M995 at 1000 m/s
  • · 5.45x39mm AP at 880 m/s
  • · Similar and lesser threats

The US Army X Threat Small Arms Protective insert plate (XSAPI) designed to VPAM 11 was developed to protect the wearer from an “X-Threat,” most likely the M993 7.62 NATO armor-piercing round. Adept Armor’s new Colossus Armor Plate exceeds the protection offered by the XSAPI plates. The Colossus was specifically designed to thwart tungsten-cored small arms threats.

· The multi-curve Colossus is made from advanced SiC-TiB2 ceramic; Vectran®, a hi-tech liquid crystal polymer fiber known for its high-strength, high heat resistance, and low stretch capabilities; and UHMWPE composite in a thermoplastic wrap. The premium-grade thermoplastic foam on the strike-face offers drop protection, and on the body-side, it serves as an integrated trauma pad. Weighing just 6.5 lbs. in the Shooter’s Cut, the Colossus is only 1.13” in thickness.

Adept Armor’s next-gen, future-proofed, edge-to-edge protection ceramic armor plate, the Colossus is available now in a variety of configurations, and ready to meet todays and tomorrow’s threats. MSRP starts at $640.00 for a 10” x 12” unit.

Spring’s Wild & Wonky Weather Watching

Spring’s Wild & Wonky Weather Watching

In like a lion, out like a lamb. Early spring arrives, riding the escaping winter’s often turbulent coat tails. This time of year, the weather unleashes its penchant for showmanship – exhibiting a full range of atmospheric theatrics from one extreme to another. It’s not unusual for snowfall, freezing rain, and bomb cyclones to show up in between mild foggy mornings, bright, sunshiny afternoons, and tee-shirt temps. One day you’re digging your car out of snow piles for your commute to work; the next, you’re digging out the garden to prepare your flower beds for spring. 

No matter what Mother Nature has in store, you can count on Kestrel® meters and loggers to tell you exactly what’s happening with the weather conditions — wherever you are.

You can become an armchair or backyard meteorologist with a Kestrel device. Measure wind, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and more. Choose a Kestrel with Bluetooth to conveniently view your weather data on the free Kestrel LiNK® app!

Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensees – Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs)

March 24, 2022

Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensees

atf-logo.gif | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and ExplosivesThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recently examined devices commonly known as “forced reset triggers” (FRTs) and has determined that some of them are “firearms” and “machineguns” as defined in the National Firearms Act (NFA), and “machineguns” as defined in the Gun Control Act (GCA).

These particular FRTs are being marketed as replacement triggers for AR-type firearms. Unlike traditional triggers and binary triggers (sometimes referred to generally as “FRTs”), the subject FRTs do not require shooters to pull and then subsequently release the trigger to fire a second shot. Instead, these FRTs utilize the firing cycle to eliminate the need for the shooter to release the trigger before a second shot is fired. By contrast, some after-market triggers have similar components but also incorporate a disconnector or similar feature to ensure that the trigger must be released before a second shot may be fired and may not be machineguns.

Both the NFA and GCA regulate machineguns. “Machinegun” is defined under 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b) and 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(23) as—

Any weapon which shoots, is designed to shoot, or can be readily restored to shoot, automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger. The term shall also include the frame or receiver of any such weapon, any part designed and intended solely and exclusively, or combination of parts designed and intended, for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and any combination of parts from which a machinegun can be assembled if such parts are in the possession or under the control of a person. (Emphasis added.)

ATF’s examination found that some FRT devices allow a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger. For this reason, ATF has concluded that FRTs that function in this way are a combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a weapon into a machinegun, and hence, ATF has classified these devices as a “machinegun” as defined by the NFA and GCA.

Accordingly, ATF’s position is that any FRT that allows a firearm to automatically expel more than one shot with a single, continuous pull of the trigger is a “machinegun”, and is accordingly subject to the GCA prohibitions regarding the possession, transfer, and transport of machineguns under 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(o) and 922(a)(4). They are also subject to registration, transfer, taxation, and possession restrictions under the NFA. See 26 U.S.C. §§ 5841, 5861; 27 CFR 479.101.

Under 26 U.S.C. § 5871, any person who violates or fails to comply with the provisions of the NFA may be fined up to $10,000 per violation and is subject to imprisonment for a term of up to ten years. Further, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 5872, any machinegun possessed or transferred in violation of the NFA is subject to seizure and forfeiture. Under 18 U.S.C. § 924(a)(2), any person who violates § 922(o) may be sent to prison for up to 10 years and fined up to $250,000 per person or $500,000 per organization.

Based on ATF’s determination that the FRTs that function as described above are “machineguns” under the NFA and GCA, ATF intends to take appropriate remedial action with respect to sellers and possessors of these devices. Current possessors of these devices are encouraged to contact ATF for further guidance on how they may divest possession. If you are uncertain whether the device you possess is a machinegun as defined by the GCA and NFA, please contact your local ATF Field Office. You may consult the local ATF Office’s webpage for office contact information.

Remington T-Shirts to Support Ukrainian Relief Efforts Sell Out

Lonoke, Arkansas – March 22, 2022 – A continuation of their support of Ukraine, Remington Ammunition began selling t-shirts benefiting the crisis relief efforts and refugees in the war-torn country – and promptly sold out. This follows the announcement that Remington- along with their sister ammunition brands CCI, Speer and Federal- would be donating a total of one million rounds to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 

“The war in Ukraine has displaced millions of citizens and exposed average people to the horrors of war,” said Jason Vanderbrink, President of Remington Ammunition, Federal, CCI and Speer. “Supporting the relief effort is a critical element of the global response and we are proud to do our part.”

Available on the Remington website, the sold-out t-shirts featured the call-out from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asking for ammunition to aid in his country’s defense efforts. All profits from the sale of the limited-edition t-shirt go directly to the humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine. In addition to Remington’s efforts, Federal Ammunition will also be selling a shirt similar in design with all proceeds benefiting displaced refugees. 

The t-shirts will be restocked and reloaded soon. Sign up for in-stock alerts on Remington.com.

Remington Ammunition Introduces NEW Turkey Loads for 2022

Lonoke, Arkansas – March 23, 2022 – Remington Ammunition is thrilled to announce the introduction of new tungsten and high velocity loads for turkey hunting enthusiasts. Part of Remington’s 2022 new product lineup, Premier® Magnum Turkey High Velocity in 20 ga. and Premier® TSS in 12 ga., 20 ga. and .410 Bore are ready just in time for turkey season.

Premier TSS is Remington’s deadliest turkey shell made to-date. The ultra-dense Tungsten Super Shot payload delivers increased range, dense patterns and more smackdown power. Available in 12-gauge, 20-gauge and .410 bore, the exclusive new Remington R top-wad secures shot and buffering for consistent patterns. 

Previously only available in 12-gauge, Premier Magnum Turkey High Velocity lead delivers hard hits and is loaded with Remington’s Power Piston one-piece wad and magnum-grade lead shot. The new three-inch, 20-gauge payload provides dense patterns and deep penetration.

“It’s an exciting time at Remington and getting these loads into the hands of turkey hunters this spring is part of the fun,” said Joel Hodgdon, Remington’s Director of Marketing. “These loads are crafted to bring down gobblers at further ranges with more gauge options and higher velocities than Big Green has ever offered in the past.”

More information about Premier Magnum Turkey High Velocity, Premier TSS and Remington Ammunition can be found at www.remington.com, on Remington’s e-newsletter and social media accounts.

Federal Sponsored Shooter Paul Giambrone III Collects Top Honors at Triple J Classic

ANOKA, Minnesota – March 23, 2022 – Team Federal congratulates Paul Giambrone III on winning the 20-gauge event at the Triple J Classic. The event was held at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas, March 11-13, 2022.

“Weather started out rough for the event, but eventually cooperated over the weekend,” said Federal’s Shoot Promotions manager Mike Hampton, Sr. “It was great to see Team Federal shooters perform well in advance of a busy season. Federal had a great showing at the event, and we are very proud of how our sponsored shotgun sport shooters did at this shoot.”

Considered the spring kick-off event for the National Skeet Shooting Association, the event featured six event titles including 12-ga., 20-ga., 28-ga., .410, Doubles and HOA, and drew nearly three hundred shooters. Giambrone was using Federal Top Gun 20 Gauge No. 9 to win his 20 gauge title. For finishing 4th in the HOA, he used Top Gun 28 Gauge No. 9 and Top Gun 410 Bore No. 9 to accomplish this standing.

“Going into the shoot, I had to deal with several unknown factors due to using a new gun, tubes, and glasses, but my one reliable performance constant was Federal Ammunition. That kept me at ease as I competed,” said Giambrone. “Friends and fellow competitors who watched commented they saw me ‘get in the zone’ during the shoot, and I am happy with how I finished. I thank my family, friends, sponsors and Federal Ammunition for the continued support.”

Top Gun loads deliver trusted performance specifically designed for excellence in all applications of clay target shooting. They push their payloads fast to shorten leads yet reduce felt recoil to allow for quicker follow-up shots. They feature hard, quality pellets for breaking more clays; consistent, reliable Federal primers; and unique wad column to produce consistent patterns. Loads are available in a wide variety of velocities, shot size and payload options for 12-, 20- and 28-guage, plus .410 bore.

Class winners receive a free entry into the 2023 Triple J Classic. The event calendar is busy for the NSSA over the next month as the ACUI, SW Grand and the World English Sporting Championships will be held at the National Shooting Complex. Keep tuned for more results from Federal sponsored shooters.

Could the MCK Conversion Kit Get Any Better? Meet the MCK GEN3

Based on the wildly popular MCK GEN 1 and 2 Conversion Kits, the MCK GEN3 is the ultimate combination of engineering innovation AND customer feedback.

Could the MCK Conversion Kit Get Any Better? Meet the MCK GEN3

Based on the wildly popular MCK GEN 1 and 2 Conversion Kits, the MCK GEN3 is the ultimate combination of engineering innovation AND customer feedback.

Pompano Beach, Fla. (March 2022)CAA USA, designers, and developers of the world-famous MCK/Micro Conversion Kit, is pleased to inform its loyal and new customers that the latest generation of the MCK, incorporating all the latest technologies and wish-list features, is now available in the new MCK GEN3.

Dynamic new features on the MCK GEN3 include:

  • · MCK “Car Wash System”
  • · Ability to use MCK with Micro Red Dot slide-mounted optic installed on a pistol
  • · Ability to aim and shoot with the RMR while attached to slide inside the MCK
  • · Stabilizer height adjustability
  • · Ambidextrous folding stock right AND left
  • · New charging handle system
  • · New easily removable front adaptor
  • · Removeable rear and front top Picatinny rails
  • · Able to use a larger 1.57” suppressor on the pistol

LTC. (Ret.) Mikey Hartman, CEO of CAA USA, explained the thought process behind the new MCK GEN3 Conversion Kit. “Each new generation MCK we make we try to incorporate intelligent suggestions that we get from our loyal customers and fans: the MCK GEN3 was no different. The fact that not only can you now insert your handgun with a red dot slide mounted optic, but you can also aim with it via the MCK, there will be no need to disassemble your optic as you had to do in previous generations. The internal cleaning mechanism along with the dual folding Stabilizer/Stock make the Gen 3 the best conversion kit we ever have made.”

One of the top items on the MCK wish list was a way to keep the red dot optic integrated on the pistol while incorporating it into the conversion kit. The MCK GEN3 chassis not only allows a seamless and perfect fit of the optic-mounted pistol, but the user will not have to zero the optic when using it with the conversion kit. Simply insert, lock, and the user is ready, pistol-mounted optic and all.

Another common concern was the fouling of the slide during operation and the need to remove the pistol for cleaning more often than desired. CAA’s engineers and designers have come up with a brilliant solution, the CAA “Car Wash System.” Similar to drive-through car washes, the built-in pistol cleaning system uses a brush/bristle system to clean the front of the slide during cycling, removing carbon build-up, without damaging the slide’s finish.

Speaking of cleaning, the new front adaptor now shields the internal parts of the MCK from any carbon build-up. Plus, the adaptor is easily removed for cleaning.

While the stabilizer/stock on the MCK Conversion Kits is unique and the best in the nation, CAA’s left-hand customers weren’t being serviced. Now, the stabilizer/stock on the MCK GEN3 is ambidextrous, folding either right or left, and can be fired while folded for immediate response to a threat. The MCK GEN3 stabilizer/stock not only folds left or right but also adjusts in height. Two height options are available: one (lower position) option for using when shooting with an RMR/slide-mounted optic, and two (upper position) when employing any type of red dot/optic on the top of the Picatinny rail.

Additional new features found only on the MCK GEN3 include a new charging handle system that uses a backplate adaptor, thus negating the reliance on the slide serrations to cycle the handgun; removable rear and front top Picatinny rails that allow the user to better customize their MCK GEN3 chassis; and an improved spare magazine holder that operates with a magazine catch and magazine release button.

“The MCK GEN 1 and 2 took America by storm,” Hartman continued. “We will continue to bring new models to the market every two months while continuing to maintain the title of the most popular handgun Conversion Kit in the world!”

About CAA USA:

CAA USA is a designer, developer, and distributor of modern tactical accessories, optics, and handgun conversion kits targeting the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, and firearm enthusiasts across the globe.

The Zeiss LRP S5


ZEISS_LRP_318-50_MOA_Detail_User_ViewNew product family comes with high performance optics and impressive total elevation travel to dominate the competition.

ZEISS announces the release of the all-new ZEISS LRP S5 first focal plane riflescopes. The new long-range riflescopes from ZEISS include high-performance optics, best-in-class total elevation travel, highly repeatable, precise, and tactile turrets as part of a compact and heavy-duty riflescope – with a daytime visible illuminated reticle. Furthermore, these scopes offer two new first focal plane reticle designs – and are available in either milliradian (MRAD) or minute-of-angle (MOA). The ZEISS LRP S5 is designed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany and is built to withstand up to a massive 1,500 g-force of recoil. The product family consists of two models: 318-50 and 525-56 and is available in four unique configurations – all with 34 mm main tubes.
“For longer-range shooting, precision is crucial. With our new ZEISS LRP S5 we have decisively expanded our product line to provide an elite riflescope that can dominate at every competition,” states Kyle Brown – Director of Marketing and Product for Carl Zeiss SBE, LLC. “With the compact and heavy-duty design of these riflescopes we have validated and proven that they are ready to tackle the toughest shooting competitions and the most difficult hunts”, emphasized Brown.

The optical system delivers exceptional image quality and renders the finest of details.

The premium optical design utilizes ZEISS Fluoride lens elements, SCHOTT glass and ZEISS’s proprietary T-Star lens coatings for optimum color fidelity, image brightness, exceptional resolution and edge-to-edge sharpness within the entire field-of-view. The scopes deliver 90% light transmission to the eye, clearer visuals, faster target identification and validation of the finer details down range. The exterior facing lenses are final coated with ZEISS LotuTec protective lens coating process for anti-fogging and to repel water, dust, dirt, fingerprints and more.

Tactile and Highly Repeatable Turrets – Precise shot placement, regardless of distance.

The ZEISS LRP S5 riflescopes offer an external elevation turret with larger font sizes and dual row engraving. The turret also incorporates the mechanically robust ZEISS Ballistic Stop feature, which provides a rock-solid return to zero. In addition, the all-new ZEISS External Locking Windage Turret (ELWT) feature allows the shooter to pull out on the locking collar, make necessary adjustments, and then lock-in the selected setting.
The MOA-based turrets are adjustable with .25 MOA click values and offer 30 MOA of travel per rotation. Each click is audible and provides a tactile confirmation for every adjustment. The MRAD turret features a more pronounced click at whole MRAD intervals.
The 3-18×50 and 5-25×56 scopes offer best-in-class – 140 MOA or 40.7 MRAD – total elevation adjustment which enables shooters to engage targets up to 1500 yards – and beyond. When combined with the side parallax adjustment, infinitely variable reticle illumination, and a European-style fast focus eyepiece the ZEISS LRP S5 allows the shooter to precisely engage the most distant targets.

Two new illuminated reticles ZF-MOAi and ZF-MRi provide intuitive aiming solutions

ZEISS also introduces two all-new First Focal Plane (FFP) reticles. The ZF-MOAi and the ZF-MRi illuminated reticles represent MOA and MRAD smart reticle designs respectively. Each incorporate distinct, clean, and easy-to-understand reference marks along the main horizontal and vertical lines of the reticle; and they offer relevant windage hold-offs in the field-of-view below centerline. Both offer fine line reticle subtensions and floating center dots to serve the demands of precision shooters and long-range hunters alike.
Only the center section of each reticle illuminates to provide a finer point of aim while viewed against dirty targets or in harsher lighting conditions. The diffractive reticle illumination technology is digitally controlled, creates an ultra-bright daylight visible point-of-aim, and has an auto-off feature controlled by angle and time sensors. These two new reticles provide very intuitive aiming solutions for improved shooting speeds and for extremely precise shot placement.

Developed with extensive expert feedback

“The entire ZEISS team is excited to introduce the LRP S5 scopes to the long-range precision shooting and hunting communities,” said Brown. “These new first focal plane riflescopes are going to make a lot of precision shooters take notice. Packed with features that provide real-world benefits, they deliver exceptional performance in the most challenging shooting situations. The ZEISS LRP S5 riflescopes were developed with extensive feedback from precision shooting competitors and shooting instructors and were purpose-built to dominate the competition”.

More information and availability

ZEISS LRP S5 first focal plane riflescopes are covered by ZEISS’s Limited Lifetime Warranty and Five-Year No-Fault Policy – both of which are transferrable.

ZEISS LRP S5 riflescopes available at ‘Authorized ZEISS Retailers’ beginning in early November 2021.

Galco’s Shotgun Muzzle Rest!

Phoenix, March 2022

Galco’s Shotgun Muzzle Rest is designed to protect a shotgun’s muzzle from contact with the ground as the shooter waits their turn at a stand. Placing the shotgun’s muzzle on the leather pad allows the shooter to rest comfortably while safely keeping a layer of leather between the muzzle and the ground. A powerful 12-lb. magnet stitched inside the leather allows easy recovery of the Muzzle Rest, using the shotgun’s muzzle without bending over, when the shooter moves to another station.

Constructed of rich, dark Havana Latigo leather, the Shotgun Muzzle Rest measures 5” high by 3 ½” wide.

U.S. LawShield® Champions Permitless Carry in Georgia

U.S. LAWSHIELD® CHAMPIONS PERMITLESS CARRY IN GEORGIA

WITH GEORGIA 2ND AMENDMENT LEGISLATIVE TOUR

Legal Defense for Self Defense®

Houston, Texas – March 21, 2022 – U.S. LawShield®, industry leader and America’s largest provider of Legal Defense for Self Defense® coverage, announces ongoing collaboration with Georgia 2nd Amendment (GA2A), formerly known as GeorgiaCarry.Org, as they prepare to battle for the rights of Georgians to keep and bear arms. Together, GA2A and U.S. LawShield kick off April 2022 with a statewide Legislative Tour focused on Georgia becoming the next state to legislate permitless carry and what it means for lawful gun owners in the Peach State.

According to U.S. LawShield CEO, P.J. Hermosa, “U.S. LawShield stands at the ready to support GA2A as they present their new name and energized commitment to the Second Amendment. Education is a critical component of keeping Georgians safe, and on the right side of the law, so we’re touring the state together to help folks understand the risks they face as legislation changes.”

U.S. LawShield GA2A Legislative Tour

Jerry Henry, Executive Director of GA2A, stated, “GA2A is proud to extend a nearly decade-long association with U.S. LawShield. With the prospect of constitutional carry becoming law in Georgia, we open the door to what we hope is a new era in recognizing and preserving the rights guaranteed to Georgia’s citizens in our state and federal constitutions. The right preserved in the granite rock of our Bill of Rights: the right of every man and woman to lawfully possess a firearm without a license.”

GA2A Legislative Tour Presented by U.S. LawShield

Attend a free session led by U.S. LawShield Independent Program Attorneys practicing in Georgia to learn about critical legislative updates concerning firearm rights. Q&A will answer questions on various topics, including Georgia permitless carry—also known as constitutional carry.

The GA2A Legislative Tour will explain how GA2A strives to fight gun control constraints plus clarify the many restrictions in Georgia that involve carrying a firearm.

Topics Include:

  • · When will the Georgia permitless carry law take effect?
  • · What does permitless carry mean for Georgians?
  • · Georgia Weapons Carry License vs. Permitless Carry
  • · What happens after a use-of-force confrontation?
  • · Is the law different for license holders?
  • · Discussion of Citizen’s Arrest Repeal—HB 479
  • · What is a “Lawful Weapons Carrier”? Can police question anyone with a firearm?
  • · Should you talk to the police if involved in a lethal confrontation? Why or why not?

GA2A Legislative Tour Session Schedule:

All sessions are free and run from 6 to 8 PM. Advance registration is required. Visit links to register.

MasterPiece Arms (MPA) Competitive Shooters Top Podium at MPA Spring Shootout

The 2-Day Precision Rifle Series (PRS) National Match Regional Qualifier took place March 12 – 13, 2022 at the Cool Acres Sporting Camp in Swainsboro, Georgia.

Comer, Ga. (March 2022)MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturer of precision Pistol, BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is proud to announce that its Team MPA shooters claimed eight of the Top 10 Finishes at the 2022 MPA Spring Shootout running their MPA Chassis. Over 120 competitors competed at the MPA Spring Shootout, which was held March 12 – 13, 2022 at Cool Acres Sporting Camp, located in Swainsboro, Georgia. The MPA Spring Shootout is a Precision Rifle Series (PRS) 2-Day National Match Regional Qualifier, and one of three Regional Qualifiers in the Southeast for the 2022 season. The match counted toward PRS Series Points. Full match results and standings can be viewed at https://www.precisionrifleseries.com.

“The MPA Spring Shootout finished up this past weekend and I could not be prouder of our Team MPA Shooters at the match for performing so well despite what Mother Nature threw at them. Competitors running MPA Chassis had eight of the Top 10 Finishes in the match, a clear indication of how well our systems perform during competition. Congrats to all the winners and top place finishers,” commented Phil Cashin, owner of MPA.

“In the game today, you have so many options to choose from. What distinguishes Masterpiece Arms from the rest of the competition is constant innovation. As a result, MPA has an answer for seemingly every situation you come across in competition. This weekend the MPA Matrix Chassis was the perfect answer and it showed. It was an assertive message; I was able to come out on top and the MPA chassis accounted for eight of the top 10 placings,” Morgun King remarked.

First Place Finisher, Morgun King, showing off his trophy and his MPA DS9 pistol prize.

Not only is the MPA chassis winning matches, but it was recently confirmed to be the official chassis of the 2022 PRS season for the sixth consecutive year in a row. MPA BA Rifles and Chassis are built by precision rifle shooters, for precision rifle shooters. MPA’s President and Owner, Phil Cashin, is an active PRS shooter. Cashin is always testing out new ideas and tweaks in the matches he competes in and continues to seek out feedback from other world-class shooters. Much of the product innovation and accessories that have been introduced over the past several years have come at the suggestion of fellow competitive shooters.

MPA BA Rifles and Chassis are designed to give shooters a competitive advantage when shooting in long-range tactical rifle competitions, such as the PRS or National Rifle League (NRL). Whether you’re increasing the accuracy capabilities of your existing action, due to the v-bedding system, adding tactical features to your rifle, or building a precision rifle for long-range competitions, MPA’s chassis system is a platform sure to exceed expectations.

ATN Corp. Donates $300K to Support the Gorta Group’s Ukraine Relief Efforts

ATN donates $300K to one of the oldest international organizations dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poor and victims of military conflicts.

ATN Corp. Donates $300K to Support the Gorta Group’s Ukraine Relief Efforts

ATN continues to work with international groups, expediting much-needed resources to the citizens of embattled Ukraine. ATN donates $300K to one of the oldest international organizations dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poor and victims of military conflicts.

The Gorta Group with humanitarian and medical products slated for a hospital in Ukraine.

Doral, Fla. (March 2022)ATN, Corp., an industry leader of innovative optics for civilian, law enforcement, and the military, have donated $300,000 to The Gorta Group, an NGO established in 1965 to serve people and communities in war zones and conflicts, to provide humanitarian and medical relief to Ukraine.

The Gorta Group CEO, Ray Jordan, arrived in neighboring Slovakia on the same day the Russians invaded Ukraine. With his senior staff, the organization procured partnerships with the Ivano Frankvisk Hospital No. 2, the Slovakian Foreign Ministry, two Slovak NGOs, secured a warehouse in Vysne Nemecke, and secured vehicles and drivers to cross the border. By early March, The Gorta Group was providing welfare and medical services for refugees and delivering non-medical items, including much-needed flour for Ukrainian bakeries.

Currently, The Gorta Group has three warehouses and distribution centers (two in Ukraine, one in Slovakia), two hospitals in Ivano Frankvisk, Ukraine receiving medical supplies, and one regional food distribution center, also located in Ivano Frankvisk. The Gorta Group’s dedicated staff has decades of experience in managing large-scale food and non-medical item distribution to marginalized communities and communities ravaged by conflict.

Marc Vayn, founder of ATN Corp, an American citizen born in Kyiv, Ukraine, has been in Bulgaria, assisting with efforts to move desperately needed products to the Ukrainian citizens in their defense against Russian troops. ATN set up a donation platform, of which Vayn donated $100K of his personal funds to the cause. The ATN fund currently has raised $170K for the cause.

Vayn explained, “ATN’s donation of $300,000 will go far to provide food and non-medical supplies to refugees fleeing and remaining within Ukraine. The very act of supplying Ukrainian bakeries with flour to keep producing bread for the citizens is an act of defiance in the face of all those who would seek to destroy a peaceful, democratic country’s government. ATN will continue to stand by our brothers and sisters in their fight for freedom.”

ATN CEO, James Munn, co-founder of the American-based ATN, Corp. and a US Army veteran, commented on this latest company-based donation, “The Gorta Group has been around for a long time and involved in a global-wide mission to end the suffering of people by providing them with medical and food products immediately, and staying long-term to assure these communities can get back up on their feet. Within two weeks, the team at Gorta Group had already procured and secured warehouses, medical and non-medical products, licenses, partners, contracted employees, and more, all aimed at helping the Ukrainian people, whether they are refugees or remaining within their war-torn borders.”


About ATN:

American Technology Network is an industry leader, innovative producer of Smart Optics for the 21st-century in addition to night vision and thermal vision products. Founded in 1995, ATN has come to be known for dependable, quality products that enhance their customer’s outdoor experience and connect with the desires of outdoor enthusiasts.

About The Gorta Group:

The Gorta Group was formed in 1965 by the Irish Government in response to the UN Food & Agriculture Organization’s call for countries to support long-term agricultural and economic development in the world’s poorest regions. Originally known as Gorta: The Freedom From Hunger Council, it has evolved since then into a group of organizations dedicated to alleviating the suffering of the world’s poorest and most marginalized people. Its work is focused on results – delivering for those in greatest need across a range of high-quality interventions, from sustainable economic development to improved nutrition and food systems innovation.
