Brownells Donates over $150,000 to Firearms Policy Foundation

Brownells Donates more than $150,000 to Firearms Policy Foundation

GRINNELL, Iowa (July 20, 2021) –  Brownells donated more than $150,000 to the Firearms Policy Foundation, with money generated by the “Made in America” promotion at Brownells.com leading up to Independence Day.

The Firearms Policy Foundation is a 501(c)3 organization which helps fund the Firearms Policy Coalition, a 501(c)4 dedicated to defending the Constitution of the United States, especially the individual right to keep and bear arms.

The donation will help with the on-going struggle to restore and eventually expand constitutionally guaranteed Second Amendment rights for all Americans.

“I want to thank everyone who bought American to help save the 2nd Amendment,” said Brownells Chairman Pete Brownell.   “We all benefit from the great work of the Firearms Policy Coalition.”

“On behalf of the FPC team and our members, we are humbled and honored that Brownells and its amazing customers have so generously provided this significant funding for our critical pro-rights legal and education programs, including dozens of active lawsuits and new cases being prepared today,” said FPF Chairman and FPC President Brandon Combs. “Especially in this era where our rights are under attack at all levels, from the Biden administration to local governments like San Jose, California, every dollar counts and will go straight to the front lines in principled efforts to defend and expand individual liberty,”

The FPC has been involved in several recent high-profile Second Amendment court cases, including Miller v. Bonta which resulted in California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons” to be declared unconstitutional.

FPC also filed suit against Nevada’s recent ban on homebuilt firearms, and filed a brief in support of the right of all Americans to carry arms on their person in public.

To find ways to become involved in the struggle to maintain and recover 2nd Amendment rights, visit the Brownells Second Amendment Action Center.

About Firearms Policy Foundation

Firearms Policy Foundation is a 501(c)3 grassroots nonprofit organization. FPF’s mission is to defend the Constitution of the United States and the People’s rights, privileges, and immunities deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition, especially the inalienable, fundamental, and individual right to keep and bear arms, through research, education, legal action, and other charitable programs.

Collins Aerospace Selects AdaCore’s QGen Code Generator to Streamline Model-Based Development

clip_image001


JC_Bernedo_AdaCore (002)Bristol, UK, July 20, 2021AdaCore, a trusted provider of software development and verification tools, announces that Collins Aerospace has selected AdaCore’s QGen code generator for Simulink®/Stateflow® models, and the new TQL-1 Enterprise Qualification Package, to advance the development of their FAA-certifiable PerigonTM computer, which is designed to support the future flight control and vehicle management needs of commercial and military rotary/fixed wing platforms. By using the TQL-1 release of QGen, PerigonTM software developers are able to save thousands of hours of testing, verification, and certification efforts, while providing additional safety guarantees to their customers. With the adoption of the QGen Enterprise Qualification Package, Collins is now able to streamline its model-based engineering practices.
QGen is the first qualifiable code generator for a safe subset of the Simulink®/Stateflow® modeling languages. QGen automatically generates C or Ada source code directly from the model while precisely preserving its functionality, eliminating the need for manual verification of the resulting source code. For systems requiring the highest assurance, such as commercial aerospace, medical device, and autonomous driving applications, the QGen code generator is being qualified by AdaCore and its partner
Verocel at DO-178C Tool Qualification Level 1 (TQL-1), which is the highest level of qualification recognized by the FAA. QGen with TQL-1 allows developers to use the generated code without any manual review, streamlining the critical-system development and verification process. In addition, QGen includes an interactive model-level debugger, displaying the model together with the generated source code to provide a uniquely productive bridge between control engineering and software engineering.
QGen is now available with an Enterprise Qualification Package. This package comes with flexible licensing so that projects of any size, company-wide, can take advantage of the use of a TQL-1 qualified autocode generator. The package is based on a unique subscription approach, which provides an enhanced qualification kit every year. The same warranties are provided to all projects, including expert support for certification audits. Large organisations that perform many of their development and verification activities through model simulation can now dramatically reduce verification activities on the generated code, reducing costs while streamlining the overall certification process.
“AdaCore is excited to partner with Collins Aerospace to bring to market the first TQL-1 code generator for Simulink,” said JC Bernedo, AdaCore QGen team lead. “AdaCore has worked closely with Collins throughout the development of QGen to ensure it meets the development needs of their most critical aerospace software.”

TRUE’s Flipper Knife Combines Ease of Use and Reliable Performance.

TRUE’s Flipper Knife Combines Ease of Use and Reliable Performance

Fort Worth, TX (July 20, 2021) – TRUE® brings to market the Flipper Knife – a great, all-around folding knife that is both easy to deploy and designed for years of dependable use. The Flipper is an extremely versatile blade, ideal for use around the house, on the jobsite, and everyday carry. True Knives are known for their innovative cutting solutions and the Flipper knife is no exception.

TRUE’S Flipper knife provides instant, one-handed access to a quality blade. The knife features a ball bearing folder mechanism that allows the sharp 3” 8Cr13MoV drop point, stainless steel blade to effortlessly move from a folded to a locked position. It is a great system for fast, one-handed deployability with little to no effort. There is no side deployment pin but a pyramid-style finger flipper at the top of the blade spine. With practice, it can be deployed similarly to a spring-assisted knife with only a flight flick of the wrist.

Being 0.75” deep this knife design fits easily inside a pocket with a deep carry clip position. It is both concealable and quick to remove from a pocket when needed. Combining these two features makes this an outstanding daily carry knife. A black oxide finish also mutes the metal making it blend well to dark clothing – like jeans – and hiding potential dirt stuck to the blade or scales.

The scales themselves are G10 and do house the liner locking mechanism. Set within the scales is a lanyard loop to affix a variety of lanyard or safety devices of choice. Beyond the aesthetic design is the practical texturing of the G10. Similar to the checkering of a gunstock, the scales feature a deep but subtle texture for grip retention and comfort. This reduces the potential slippage when using the knife around various environmental factors like rain or oil.

Galco’s Concealable Belt Holster!

Header Logo

Galco’s Concealable Belt Holster!

PHOENIX, July 2021
The
Concealable™ holster is one of Galco’s most recognizable and innovative belt holsters.
In the early 1970s, Galco founder Richard Gallagher made a major improvement on the basic pancake holster design when he invented
forward molding. The Concealable was the first holster to use his innovative construction method. The unique two-piece construction is contoured on the body side to the natural curve of the hip, keeping all the molding on the front of the holster, allowing for significantly more comfortable carry and a narrower profile than an ordinary pancake type holster.
Hand-molded to fit specific handguns, the Concealable features a deeply hand-molded exterior for excellent retention properties and superior appearance, firing grip accessibility for speed, and double-stitched seams for durability.
The Concealable is constructed of premium steerhide and made to fit belts up to 1 1/2″. Made for over 135 semiautomatic pistols and double-action revolvers, it’s available in right or left hand designs in black or havana brown finish.

NSSF Thanks Sen. Pat Toomey for Protecting ATF from Special-Interest Gun Control

For immediate release | July 15, 2021

NSSF Thanks Sen. Pat Toomey for Protecting ATF from Special-Interest Gun Control

NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearm and ammunition industry, is grateful for the leadership by U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) announcing that he will not support President Joe Biden’s nominee, David Chipman, to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). This bold and decisive announcement is critical to ensuring the ATF remains a fair and impartial law enforcement and regulatory bureau and not a political tool of gun control special interests.

“On behalf of the firearm and ammunition industry, the 13,000 hardworking Pennsylvanians whose jobs depend on the firearm industry, millions of lawful Pennsylvania gun owners and Second Amendment supporters, we thank Senator Pat Toomey for his strong and principled stand to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans. This decision protects the men and women of the ATF working hard each day to carry out their critical mission,” said Lawrence G. Keane, NSSF Senior Vice President and General Counsel. “David Chipman’s nomination is clearly a move to politicize the ATF. Confirming a gun control lobbyist as director would not only do irreversible damage to ATF’s mission but it would also harm the cooperative relationship between our industry members and ATF.”

Members of the firearm industry have a long-standing and cooperative relationship with the ATF to achieve compliance and keep firearms out of the hands of those who are not allowed to possess them. NSSF has supported every ATF director nomination that has been reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee, including President Barack Obama’s nominee, B. Todd Jones who was confirmed by the Senate.

Keane added, “NSSF encourages President Biden to withdraw the nominee and nominate an unbiased, more qualified person to run ATF, someone the industry could support.”

Stronger than Steel, Tougher than Ceramic: Introducing Adept Armor Titanium Armor Plate


A revolution in body armor combining multi-hit capability and superior performance to weight ratio, never before found in steel or ceramic plates.

Stronger than Steel, Tougher than Ceramic: Introducing Adept Armor Titanium Armor Plate

A revolution in body armor combining multi-hit capability and superior performance to weight ratio, never before found in steel or ceramic plates.

Tulsa, Okla. (July 2021)Adept Armor, an armor system engineering firm, proudly introduce the ground-breaking, patent-pending Mantis Titanium Armor Plate.

Titanium, a high-strength, low-density, silver-colored metal, is revered in the aerospace, defense, and ship-building industries for its incredible strength, lightweight, and anti-corrosion capabilities, but as body armor, titanium, for all its attributes, had one problem, poor thermal properties. Adept Armor took on the challenge to find a way to bring titanium’s better qualities into the world of body armor. The result after years of research and testing is the Adept Armor Mantis Titanium Plate, a game-changer in body armor.

The age-old debate of which material makes a better armor plate, steel construction or ceramic-composite, has been dependent upon which benefits the wearer preferred, lightweight vs. multi-hit capability. Now, the era of compromise is over.

Adept Armor, utilizing their metal science engineers and technologies, were capable of crafting a forged, multi-curved titanium alloy plate and securely bonding it to a high-performance polyethylene backer, thus combining the strength and multi-hit capability known in steel body armor with the lighter weight and performance characteristics of ceramic-composite body armor.

The Mantis Titanium Armor Plate offers full RF2 protection stopping M193, M855, M80 Ball, 7.62x39mm MSC, and other rounds – at, or well beyond, full velocity! (Including special threats such as the .22-250 at over 4250 feet per second.) Built to military SAPI specifications, the Mantis Titanium Armor Plate’s high-strength monolithic titanium strike-face yields upon ballistic impact minimalizing front-face spall. Rounds are stopped inside the plate, rather than on its surface. A trauma pad is integral, featuring a comfortable and durable thermoplastic foam on the body-worn side. At just 5.5 pounds, the Titanium Armor Plate is not concealed behind nylon or finish coated, but reveals the true nature of the beauty of titanium in all its silvery glory, just as body armor should.

About Adept Armor:

Adept is a materials engineering and industrial design firm that focuses on the development of body armor and infantry equipment and is pioneering the use of titanium alloys, enhanced-matrix UHMWPE materials, and titanium diboride modified ceramics in modern armor plates.

These exotic materials are not used in ways that blithely follow convention. For, in addition to Adept’s expertise in materials engineering, we place extreme importance on product design. In this, we hew to a Parametricist philosophy, which often results in designs that are as novel and unexpected as they are effective. www.adeptarmor.com

Experts in Firearm Safety, Teen Suicide Prevention Launch Webinar: ‘Understanding Youth Mental Health and Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms’

For immediate release | July 15, 2021


Experts in Firearm Safety, Teen Suicide Prevention Launch Webinar: ‘Understanding Youth Mental Health and Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms’

View the webinar recording HERE.

NEWTOWN, Conn. – The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), in partnership with mental health experts from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and George Washington University, today released a recorded webinar video to help parents of teens recognize signs that their children may be facing mental health challenges—and share resources on how to talk to kids about mental health, make homes safer for those who may be at risk and help reduce the risk of suicide among teens.

“Studies show that suicide is preventable and simple actions like storing firearms securely when not in use can help save a life,” said Joe Bartozzi, NSSF’s President and CEO.

The video, which aired live from NSSF and Project ChildSafe’s Facebook page, features a panel discussion between Dr. Doreen Marshall, AFSP’s Vice President of Mission Engagement, and Dr. Sherry Molock, Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology at George Washington University, on signs teens exhibit when they are dealing with challenges to their mental health, including having thoughts of self-harm. Both experts emphasize the importance of parents having conversations with their kids if they sense their children are struggling.

Dr. Molock and Dr. Marshall encourage parents to watch for warning signs that their teen may be experiencing mental health challenges by observing what they say, how they behave and the moods they project. According to these experts, the most important things parents can do if they recognize any of these signs are to have a conversation with their kids and be proactive in preventing access to potential means of self-harm.

“We know many teens may be thinking about suicide, so talking about it with our kids—before it becomes a crisis—is really important,” Dr. Marshall says. “It may sound difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Talking openly with our young people about mental health, just as we would physical health, can be the key to preventing a crisis, and saving a life.”

Dr. Molock agrees, emphasizing that talking about mental health and self-harm with our kids does not cause them to attempt suicide.

“Many kids are actually relieved to be able to talk about it, so let the young person know you can handle the discussion, and you’re willing to do anything to keep them safe,” Dr. Molock says.

Also important is creating “time and distance” between a person having thoughts of suicide and a method of harm. When access to a potential lethal means is interrupted, it creates an opportunity for the person to change their mind and seek professional care. Recognizing that firearms are sometimes involved in suicide attempts, NSSF’s Bartozzi urges gun-owning parents to practice safe firearm storage and learn about available secure storage options.

“We need to discuss this issue openly and honestly as a community and give parents the tools and information they need to make the home environment safer if they’re concerned someone in their family is at risk,” Bartozzi says. “In addition to thinking about prescription drug and other means, it may also mean rethinking how and where you store your firearms.”

The webinar complements a free resource developed by NSSF and AFSP—“A Guide for Parents: Understanding Youth Mental Health and Preventing Unauthorized Access to Firearms”—available at NSSF’s Project ChildSafe® website or AFSP’s Project 2025 website.

Anyone experiencing a crisis is urged to reach out to any of the following resources:

· National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: Call 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255)

· Lifeline Chat: suicidepreventionlifeline.org/chat

· Crisis Text Line: Text TALK to 741741

· Emergency Response: Call 911 or contact your local emergency room

Note for editors: In addition to the participation of NSSF and AFSP, promotional support for the webinar was provided by the National African American Gun Association, The Well Armed Woman, Women’s Outdoor News and the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance.

Your Mother Does What In Hell !?

Jr23

It’s Friday and what a week it has been, so if you are feeling like Linda Blair I understand. The general population is having to deal with vaccination fights, critical race theory and the U.N. being asked to investigate racism in America. So, I think we’re in need of a good shoot the shit, the other alternative is a trip to the therapist which will cost you at least $150 per hour and you’ll be paying it to a jackass that majored in psychology so they could understand themselves. Example of psychology at work:

People who’ve suffered a family or spousal loss sometimes blame themselves for their loss, could they have done something to save them. A therapist would handle that by saying John or Mary nothing you did brought about their demise. I know you miss them but it’s not your fault. Now, the same jackass will advance critical race theory, which is designed to make your Caucasian child feel guilty about his or her race.

Take a look at Britney Spears, they had her on lithium carbonate, I don’t known how long she’s been on it, but lithium is used to treat manic disorders. I’ll give you just a couple of its side effects: pseudotumor cerebri (increased pressure in the brain), and all kinds of Encephalopathic syndromes especially when taken with other neuroleptics. Amazing!

First time readers, may not be familiar with the concept of a shoot the shit. Very simply, it is a social interaction during which any subject or subjects can be discussed, participants don’t need to know anything about the subject, they are free to make unsupported comments, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone they wish or change the subject altogether. They give you a break from social media, save you $150 and have a higher degree of efficacy.

In this shoot the shit I’d like to talk about the vaccination phobia and why it’s a decision that needs to be made in consultation with your physician. So lets get started.

Medical since has evolved over the years to a point where disease from pathogens like bacteria, plasmodium parasites and viruses have, for all intents and purposes, been eradicated. Most of our life ending or serious medical conditions have genetic origin. Simply stated, your DNA has the code for that particular malady, cancer being one of the most common; the gene may never express itself, or it may be triggered by an environmental influence. Which is the reason we avoid certain things and don’t do others. Biochemically random events will cause free radicals which act on DNA to trigger gene expression.

The argument being advanced by the “don’t get vaccinated crowd” is based around potential side-effects, this is a valid concern especially if you are the one impacted, but you’re not being presented by the second half of the equation.

The first thing you need to know is that approximately 350,000 people a year go to emergency room services to be treated for medication side-effects and interactions. Why is that? Human beings are complex biological machines and what works for one person may not work for another. Over the counter medications can and have caused serious side effects in some individuals. The medical community is fully cognizant of side-effects and measure incidents to asses their statistical significance.

So, when the media reports that two thousand patients have reported adverse side-effects from the COVID-19 vaccine, the medical community weighs those incidents against the total positive outcomes to determine if it is a concern. The question they try to answer Is if the side-effects are statistically significant relative to the population size and downside risk of not being vaccinated.

The risks of not getting vaccinated are also complex, but it potentially increases the risk of viral mutations resistant to treatment or current vaccinations, it may also increase the risk of long term medical problems from things like viral protein fragments that could bring about undesirable gene expression resulting in long-term health issues like cancer.

I want to close by suggesting that you sit down with your family doctor; have a heart-to-heart talk and be sure to share your fears and concerns,but in the final analysis you are far better off being vaccinated than not.

Have a great weekend, be safe and schedule your own shoot the shit with your buds or family.

MEPRO O2 tactical image 2 (002)DEFEA, Athens, Greece, 13-15 July 2021 Stand HALL 3, Booth No. 3

12 July 2021, Israel. SK Group – a privately held technology and innovation holding company specializing in global frontline defense, law enforcement solutions, marine infrastructure and property development, will present for the first time at DEFEA its entire portfolio of advanced systems.

Solutions range from IWI’s (Israel Weapon Industries) small arms, to Meprolight’s electro-optical sights and Camero’s groundbreaking Xaver™ Long Range system.

According to Mr. Ronen Hamudot, SK Group and IWI’s VP Marketing and Sales, “This is the first time the SK Group will be exhibiting at DEFEA, introducing its various solutions to the European market. Our extended offering, as displayed at the show, meets the challenges military forces and law enforcement agencies in regions are facing. “SK Group has a vast experience in knowhow technology transfer and cooperation with various industries and governments around the world. We are open to create new partnerships and local support” Hamudot adds.

IWI – Israel Weapon Industries, is a leader in the production of combat-proven small arms for law enforcement agencies, governments, and armies around the world. The company will present its 7.62X51mm caliber IWI TAVOR-7, a member of the successful TAVOR Bullpup Rifle family, which was developed in close cooperation with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), based on lessons learned from actual combat situations.

The IWI TAVOR-7 enables users to operate in a wide variety of scenarios at short and medium range with enhanced firepower – efficiently, safely and easily, with minimal maintenance.

The TAVOR-7 is a fully ambidextrous platform on which the ejection side and the charging handle can be switched quickly and easily from side to side by the user. The ambidextrous features include: safety lever, magazine release, and bolt catch similar to the X95. The IWI TAVOR-7 also includes an M-LOK fore-end (at 3 and 9 o’clock) as well as MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail at the 6 o’clock position, to allow the use of multiple devices and accessories. The rifle’s body is built from high-strength, impact-modified polymer, and has a hammer-forged, chrome-lined, free-floating barrel for enhanced accuracy and life cycle.

Additional features include a short stroke gas piston with a 4-position variable gas regulator, (including an OFF position – a unique feature designed for special operation needs), a rotating bolt system that ensures maximum safety for the user, and a pistol grip that can be changed or modified.

XS Sights Now Available for Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus

Fort Worth, TX (July 14, 2021) – Owners of this newest Smith & Wesson M&P Shield pistol can quickly and easily replace the factory sights with XS night sights to get on target faster in any light – day or night.   Options include the DXT2, R3D, F8, and DXW2 night sights.

Known for its industry-leading size and front sight visibility, DXT2 Big Dot sights feature XS’s proprietary, self-illuminating Glow Dot technology surrounding the tritium center in the front sight for unrivaled visibility in all lighting conditions.  This additional photoluminescent material glows even before the tritium becomes visible, which drives your eye to the front sight and downrange threat faster.  The DXT2 Big Dot is available in two colors – Optic Yellow™ and Optic Orange™.

The R3D has a traditional 3-dot tritium, notch and post sight picture.  The Glow Dot makes the front sight much brighter which differentiates the front tritium dot from the two rear tritium dots, drawing your eye towards the downrange target.  Available in Orange or Green.

The F8 night sight features a figure-eight, inline sight picture and wide notch rear for easy two-point alignment. The large Orange Glow Dot increases front-sight focus for fast and accurate target acquisition.

The DXW2 tritium night sights are available with Big Dot (Orange or Yellow) front sights and feature a shallow-V, white stripe, non-tritium rear sight which aids in sight alignment.

“XS night sights are extremely popular with those who want to achieve faster target acquisition in defensive shooting situations,” said Addison Monroe, Marketing Manager for XS Sights.  “With the surge in gun sales, we’re seeing increased demand for all of our sights. They offer a clear benefit for new pistol owners, long-time gun owners, and those with aging eyes who need a bigger and brighter sight that they can easily see in every lighting condition.”

Retail Pricing: From $110 – $132

All XS Sights are backed by a 10-year, No Questions Asked Warranty and XS’s 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. For more information, visit www.xssights.com.

Many memories were made, and the event provided the heroes an opportunity to enjoy nature, fellow heroes, attendees and the sport of fishing. Military Warriors looks forward to working with Chris Smith next year while bringing a new group of veterans to experience an amazing Skills4Life event.

Carbyne and Edgybees Partner to Innovate Disaster Response

Public Safety Technology Company Carbyne Partners With Aerial Video Software Edgybees To Further Innovate Disaster Response

The integration dramatically improves response precision and enhances awareness in large-scale emergency situations

July 14, 2021 – New York, NY – Today, leading public safety technology company Carbyne announces its integration with Edgybees, a provider of high-precision, geo-registration software for aerial video that improves response time, accuracy, and communications for first responders during emergencies. The partnership brings video imagery to 911 call centers, public safety decision makers, and first responders in real-time through drone footage, enabling them to assess situations and efficiently respond based on precise video of the area in crisis.

Cities across the country are rapidly deploying innovative solutions, including drones, to aid in disaster response and overhaul the emergency response system – ultimately reducing time to dispatch and saving lives. Edgybees’ AI-centric software solution, in combination with Carbyne’s 911 unmatched video capabilities, improves situational awareness for emergency responders in dangerous circumstances such as wildfires, floods, or earthquakes. Expanding on Carbyne’s existing data set, Edgybees’ technology delivers real-time video augmented with high-precision geographical registration from any drone, which is then transmitted into any application gateway connector.

Through this integration, Carbyne can receive footage from any connected drone and stream it directly to the 911 call center, not only giving dispatchers and first responders an aerial view of the territory, but also providing additional key data points such as specific street names or traffic lights to pinpoint the exact location of the disaster. This unique approach generates real-time, detailed overlays of roads, key landmarks, and other mission-critical data on top of live video feeds, enabling defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure teams to accomplish lifesaving and high-urgency missions quickly and safely.

“The vulnerabilities of our emergency response system have continually revealed themselves over the past year, and it’s evident the outdated system requires improvements that will save more lives and simplify the method overall,” said President and COO of Carbyne, Erez Tsur. “Technological advancements in emergency response, such as the incorporation of real-time video or even drone capabilities, are streamlining mission-critical operations like never before. Carbyne is eager to partner with Edgybees to elevate our platform’s accuracy, improve life-saving measures, and achieve unprecedented location precision in the face of danger or disaster.”

“Adding real-time video augmented with accurate geo-location of roads and key landmarks delivers a new level of visibility to response centers using the Carbyne emergency collaboration platform. It provides accurate situational analysis to first responders, dramatically increasing their ability to save lives during natural disasters, search and rescue missions, and other emergency response operations,” stated Adam Kaplan, CEO and co-founder of Edgybees. “The Edgybees platform has been battle-tested in major public emergency situations, including wildfires in Australia and California and major category 5 hurricanes. We look forward to our collaboration with Carbyne to help advance public safety teams.”

Blaser Introduces R8 Rifle in 6.5 PRC

Blaser R8 Ultimate

Blaser Introduces the R8 Rifle in 6.5 PRC

San Antonio, Texas (July 13, 2021) – Blaser is pleased to now offer its iconic R8 modular rifle in a 6.5 PRC chambering.  Known for its accuracy and long-range performance, the 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge is essentially a magnum version of the 6.5 Creedmoor with a flatter trajectory and higher impact velocity making it a favorite of long-range hunters.

The straight-pull R8 bolt-action rifle, renowned for its reliability, repeatability, speed, and precision, offers hunters a vast number of configurations to meet their needs in the field.  Options include a wide array of stock options, a recoil reduction system, adjustable comb, adjustable length of pull, and numerous barrels and bolt heads to facilitate quick conversions to different calibers, depending on the type of game one is hunting.

“If you combine all the different standard options on an R8, you can build over 47 million unique rifles and that does not even include custom shop options,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “The interchangeability makes it incredibly easy to convert your rifle from one caliber to another by simply switching out the barrel and bolt head.  This can be done in less than a minute. The engineering and craftsmanship is so extraordinary, after any barrel change, the rifle will shoot to within 1/2 MOA every time.“

The compact overall length and modularity of the Blaser R8 offer distinct advantages to hunters who travel frequently, allowing them to carry one rifle with several different barrels instead of transporting multiple guns around the world.  The Blaser Saddle Mount system allows for easy and precise mounting of a riflescope by allowing the one-piece base of the mount to fit into notches machined into the top of the free-floating barrel.  The barrel and saddle mount become one accurate unit, ensuring absolute repeatability once the scope has been zeroed, regardless of how many times the scope is removed from the barrel.  The R8‘s concentric locking lugs with 14 locking surfaces provide 360-degree engagement, further enhancing accuracy.  This rifle also features one of the safest actions in the world thanks to its highly-acclaimed manual cocking mechanism.

The R8 is available in numerous calibers from 204 Ruger to 500 Jeffrey.  For more information visit www.blaser-usa.com.

About Blaser Group                

The Blaser Group is the official U.S. importer for iconic German firearms brands Blaser, Mauser and J.P. Sauer; English gunmaker John Rigby & Co.; and Minox optics and Liemke Thermal Optics.   Established in 2006, the company which is based in San Antonio, Texas works with distributors, wholesalers, and over 200 authorized Blaser Group dealers across all North American states, with this figure continually growing.
