New Steyr AUG upgrades are here for AUGust!

Posted on Monday, 25 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

The new A3 M2 AUG Switchback Charging Handle

It took a while and a number of prototypes to get it refined to its final form, and here it finally is!

The AUG A3 M2 switchback actually works with any AUG with the “rectangular” OEM charging handle, i.e. the AUG A1 and the A3 M2. Simply knock out the roll pin on the OEM, drop this on, put the roll pin back in, and you are ready to go! The handle features a “two finger” grip, automatically folds, and has a pre-installed replaceable polymer wear pad to protect your valuable AUG receiver from damage.

No more knuckle bashing on your optics or weird hand angles to operate your AUG- Get this much more ergonomic and low profile handle for only $99.95!

Get your A3 M2 AUG Switchback here

A La Carte AUG Wear Pads now available!

The included Wear Pads with the AUG Switchback charging handles essentially last forever, as you can rotate them up to four times to have a new corner on them.

That being said, some people still have asked us to offer the Wear Pads for sale on their own so they can stock a few extra for the end of the world, and we have finally listened.

Grab yourself a pair of Wear Pads for only $7.95!

Get some spare Wear Pads “just in case” right here

AUG Cantilever Forend for A3 M1

Want the slimmest, most stylish M-LOK forend for the AUG you can get? Well here you go!

The AUG Cantilever Forend is designed for the A3 M1 model, and features an 8 sided M-LOK forend portion that is totally free floated from the barrel by attaching to the 37 slot picatinny top rail. To boot, a 12 slot picatinny rail is mounted to the right side of the top rail, giving you even more options for mounting lights, lasers, and so on. Also, for those who want to remove the barrel, just unscrew the four mounting screws that hold the M-LOK forend on, and slide the forend off the front. Heck, even run just the top rail for extended rail space on your AUG!

Please note the AUG Cantilever Forend will NOT fit the 300 blackout barrels, sorry! (they have too big a gas block bulge). It technically is not designed for the A3 or A3 M2, BUT, it will fit, you will just have a gap at the front of the receiver where the A3 M1 has the “hump” on its own receiver.

Available for only $259.95!

(If you have an AUG A3 or A3 M2 and would like a dedicated top rail, or even just a filler block so you can use this rail on your AUG, let us know!)

Get your AUG Cantilever Forend now!

Brass Buster Brass Deflector for AUG

Ah yes, the original brass deflector for the AUG. Did you know this was one of our first two products that came out FIFTEEN YEARS AGO and is still one of our best selling products?

Simply clip on the stock behind the ejection port and away you go- no more brass gouges in your expensive AUG stock. Got a left handed AUG? No problem, the turn the Brass Buster around and it is AMBIDEXTROUS!

The best part? All this for only $19.95. Doesn’t your AUG and your face deserve better treatment than eating brass all day?

Get a ridiculously affordable Brass Buster here

Smith & Wesson Secures 2nd Montana Highway Patrol Contract

Posted on Friday, 22 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

First Look: Smith&Wesson M&P 15 SBR | An Official Journal Of The NRA

GEMTECH Abyss 5.56 – Silencer Central

MARYVILLE, TN – Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Select: SWBI), a leader in firearm manufacturing and design, is proud to announce a continued partnership with the Montana Highway Patrol.

The Montana Highway Patrol (MHP) has once again chosen Smith & Wesson to enhance its operational capabilities. While the MHP continues to utilize the M&P®9 M2.0® as their primary duty pistol, they have now decided to select the Smith & Wesson M&P15 SBR platform as their patrol rifle of choice as well as the Gemtech® Abyss® models for their suppressor of choice.

“This year, 2025, marks the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Montana Highway Patrol. For most of those years our Patrolmen, now Troopers, were armed with a Smith & Wesson revolver or pistol. In addition to the Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 that our Troopers carry on their person, we have recently selected Smith & Wesson to replace our aging patrol rifles. We look forward to continuing the excellent relationship we’ve developed with this American company and truly appreciate the reliability of their firearms and the customer service they provide,” said Major Chan Barry, Operations Commander, Montana Highway Patrol.

For over a century, Smith & Wesson firearms have been a trusted platform for law enforcement and military agencies around the globe, reflecting our commitment to quality, performance, and durability. These contracts mark an important partnership between the company and the community, highlighting Smith & Wesson’s dedication to supporting those who selflessly serve and protect.

“Smith & Wesson takes pride in continuing the long-standing tradition of partnership with the Montana State Patrol, which has spanned many decades. Their ongoing use of our products, along with their inherent trust in our brand and after-sales support, stands as the highest form of endorsement. We are honored to serve as the standard patrol rifle and suppressor for the Montana State Patrol and look forward to many more years of this esteemed relationship,” said Mark Smith, President & CEO.

SFT Team Announcement!

Posted on Thursday, 21 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

SOUTHERN PINES, NC – SPECIAL FORCES TRUST (SFT)

After more than five years of dedicated service as Chief Programs Officer, Cameron Davis is transitioning into a new leadership role as Chief Marketing & Communications Officer of the Special Forces Trust. In this new position, Davis will lead the organization’s branding, awareness, and storytelling efforts—shifting from writing the stories of impact to telling them with clarity and style on a larger stage. Her work will focus on elevating SFT’s reach, influence, and identity across the country.

Reflecting on her transition, Davis remarked:
“Serving as Chief Programs Officer has been one of the greatest privileges of my career. Walking alongside our Special Forces Soldiers and Families in their moments of need has shaped me in countless ways. I am honored now to step into a role where I can help share their powerful stories, amplify their voices, and ensure that the world understands the extraordinary work of the Special Forces Trust.”

SFT’s Chief Executive Officer, Jodi Burns, shared her gratitude:
“Cameron has been the heart of our program work for over five years. Her leadership, creativity, and relentless commitment to our mission have strengthened the Trust and expanded our ability to serve. While her departure from programs leaves big shoes to fill, her new role as Chief Marketing & Communications Officer ensures that her talents will continue to propel this organization forward. She has a gift for making people feel connected to our mission, and I cannot wait to see how she elevates our voice.”

Filling the Programs role is retired Lieutenant Colonel Nelson Young, a decorated Green Beret from the 20th Special Forces Group. Nelson brings unmatched experience and credibility to the programs arena. Serving as Group Human Performance and Wellness Director in his last role, Nelson successfully integrated complex initiatives that directly strengthened Soldiers and their Families. His proven ability to translate vision into action, coupled with decades of leadership in the Regiment, positions him as a force multiplier for SFT. With his relentless drive, deep ties to the Special Forces community, and unwavering commitment to the mission, Nelson is poised to elevate our programs to unprecedented levels of impact and reach.

“Caring for Special Forces Soldiers and Families has been the calling of my career,” Young said. “To join the Special Forces Trust in this role is both an honor and a responsibility I take to heart. I look forward to building on the strong foundation Cameron has created and working with this exceptional team to ensure our programs continue to meet the real needs of our community.”

The Special Forces Trust is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing meaningful and sustainable support to the Families of our Green Berets. SFT develops and delivers timely, innovative, and comprehensive programs designed to enhance the well-being and resiliency of both the Special Forces Soldier and their Family.

Wazoo Gear Celebrates Labor Day Adventures with the Cache Cap

Posted on Thursday, 21 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Wazoo Gear Celebrates Labor Day Adventures with the Cache Cap

Mead, CO (August 20, 2025) – Labor Day weekend is prime time for getting off-grid or off Wi-Fi. Camping is one of America’s remaining great pastimes. The Cache Cap is an essential gear component because it keeps necessary items on your person, even if a hiking pack takes a tumble down a ravine. It offers space for backup tools such as fire-starting devices, navigation equipment, or first aid supplies. It doubles as a signal device with its bright orange interior and reflective X. No one will ever suspect the Cache Cap hat is a mini survival kit. It is the category of gear that allows users to confidently say, “I’ve got something for that,” without ever having to reach into the backpack.

Wazoo Gear Cache Cap: The Hat That Pulls Its Weight

The Cache Cap may resemble a standard ball cap, but it boasts a unique cache system designed for adventurers and everyday carry enthusiasts. Made with a 100% ripstop cotton exterior and a breathable moisture-wicking mesh interior, it combines ruggedness with comfort. The cap includes six discreet pockets—three in the crown and three in the brim—equipped with hook-and-loop closures and narrow slots for slim essentials. The underside of the brim is finished in anti-glare black for improved visibility, while the high-vis orange mesh interior doubles as a signaling panel in emergencies. Additionally, it boasts a reflective X for marking, a UPF 50 rating to shield against UV rays, and an adjustable no-snag Velcro strap for most head sizes. Whether hiking or camping, this cap has adventurers covered.

Common Cache Contents

While the Cache Cap doesn’t come preloaded, here’s what folks typically tuck inside, many of which Wazoo carries:

Cash
Personal meds or adhesive bandages
Ferro rod and ceramic scraper
Button compass
Water purification tablets
Small folding knife or ceramic blade
Handcuff key (for the Jason Bourne types)
Travel documents or ID

Users can tailor the loadout to their mission, whether a backcountry trek or a brewery crawl!

Blaser F16 Pro Series Shotgun Wins Outdoor Life Editor’s Choice Award

Posted on Wednesday, 20 August, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

Blaser F16 Pro Series Shotgun Wins Outdoor Life Editor’s Choice Award

San Antonio, Texas (August 19, 2025) – The Blaser F16 Pro Series over-and-under shotgun was named Editor’s Choice by Outdoor Life in the competition category. Described by Outdoor Life as a “Fabulous shooter,” the test team also mentioned its “Excellent craftsmanship” and “very good value”.

“Shooting a Blaser F16 Pro in a sporting clays competition won’t guarantee anything beyond a participation trophy, but you sure as hell will shoot better and tip the odds in your favor of a podium finish if you shoulder one.

This is a purpose-built over and under with one goal in mind – pulverizing clay targets no matter how far away or fast they are traveling. The 32-inch ported barrels and 8.5-pound weight make this the softest shooting double we’ve ever tested, as well as one of the sweetest swinging 12-gauges we’ve shot.”

John Snow, Outdoor Life Shooting Editor

Designed by Blaser Pro Staff and World Champion shooter Cory Kruse, and available in right-handed and left-handed models, the F16 Pro Series features an elegant walnut stock (wood grade 4) with an adjusted pitch angle. This allows for a more comfortable flush fit mount on the shoulder while further dispersing felt recoil. Added weight in the stock and barrel deliver perfect balance while aiding in recoil reduction in conjunction with the new Kick-EEZ^® butt pad.

The F16 Pro Series 32” barrel comes with RHINO’s patented 13-port “pigeon porting” system and RHINO G1 series chokes with GP30 nonstick coating, exactly like those used by Cory Kruse in competition.

“It is an honor to receive Outdoor Life’s prestigious Editor’s Choice award, and we appreciate their recognition of the time and effort that Cory and the Blaser team put into the design of the F16 Pro Series,” said Jason Evans, CEO, Blaser Group. “This shotgun is tournament ready out of the box, and the reduced recoil and balance of the F16 Pro Series make it a dream to shoot.”

MSRP:

$7,015 (right-handed model)

$7,515 (left-handed model)

For more information, see Blaser F16 Pro Series.

The key improvement is an integrated feed ramp in the receiver, allowing for effortless loading and smoother operation.

Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel barrel and receiver, the Mini Bolt Youth G2 is designed to withstand the wear and tear of training environments like camps, ranges, and instructional programs. Weighing just 3.25 pounds, it’s light enough to shoulder comfortably while maintaining the durability and balance you expect from a Henry. The synthetic stock features wraparound checkering for a secure grip and is available in both classic black and vibrant Muddy Girl^® camo finishes.

Safety is central to the design. The Mini Bolt Youth G2 incorporates both a manual thumb safety switch and an exposed cocking knob at the rear of the bolt. This dual-layer system provides visual and tactile confirmation before each shot, making it easier for mentors to demonstrate and reinforce responsible firearm use.

To ensure accuracy and boost confidence from the very beginning, the rifle features bright fiber optic sights with two red rear dots and a green front dot for an easy-to-acquire and easy-to-teach sight picture in a variety of lighting conditions. With an 11.5” length of pull, it’s proportioned to fit smaller frames comfortably.

“As a family-owned company and longtime advocate for youth shooting sports, we feel that it’s our responsibility to deliver the kinds of products that families use to pass down tradition, make memories, and spend quality time together,” said Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “The Mini Bolt Youth G2 reflects that mission with every detail, and I look forward to hearing from families all over the country who choose to make it a part of their story.”

Henry Repeating Arms actively supports a wide range of organizations focused on youth firearm safety, marksmanship training, and hunter education, including the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA-USA), NRA’s Eddie Eagle GunSafe® Program, the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance, 4-H Shooting Sports, Scouting America, the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation, the American Legion Junior Shooting Sports Program, and many others. To further reinforce the importance of responsible firearm use, Henry Repeating Arms offers free safety materials and educational resources on its website.

As with every Henry firearm, the Mini Bolt Youth G2 is proudly made in Wisconsin and backed by a Lifetime Warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

The Mini Bolt Youth G2 is now available through Henry dealers nationwide with an MSRP of $335. For more information about the Mini Bolt Youth G2 and to find a local Henry dealer, visit henryusa.com.
