Savage Arms Expands Its Extensive Lineup of Rifles Targeting Left-Handed Shooters

Posted on Thursday, 11 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 10, 2018 – Savage Arms is pleased to expand its already extensive catalog of firearms geared to left-handed shooters with the release of additional options in centerfire target, hunting and rimfire rifles. Savage Arms will launch the new southpaw-friendly models at the 2018 SHOT Show (Booth No. 14451) January 23-26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“One of the keys to Savage Arms achieving an impressive stronghold in the firearms industry over the past two decades has been the company’s ability to dominate niche markets,” said firearms senior brand manager Jessica Treglia. “Savage’s ever-expanding selection of left-handed firearms is an excellent example of this strategy in action.
“Research reports approximately 10 percent of Americans are left-handed,” Treglia continued. “Then there are those who are right-handed, but left-eye dominant. These hunters and shooters greatly benefit from a left-handed firearm, and Savage is proud to supply them with dependable and accurate left-handed choices.”
On the precision-chassis rifle front, Savage introduces the new left-handed Model 10/110 BA Stealth and Stealth Evolution. Both feature a heavy fluted barrel with a monolithic aluminum chassis popular among long-range precision shooters.
Both models also feature Savage’s zero-tolerance, thread-in headspacing, user-adjustable AccuTrigger and 5R button rifling, and produce sub-MOA accuracy at extreme ranges, out of the box. The rifles are available in some of the hottest calibers in long-range shooting, including 338 Lapua Mag., 300 Win. Mag. 6.5 Creedmoor, 308 Win. and 223 Rem. The Stealth Evolution is also available in 6mm Creedmoor.
“Savage didn’t forget left-handed hunters,” Treglia noted. “The upgraded Model 110 Storm is available in a left-handed configuration. It is built off the same 110 action as the past but now features the all-new user-adjustable AccuFit system, which allows shooters to customize comb height and length-of-pull for better fit and function.”
The Model 110 Storm also features a detachable box magazine, stainless steel action and stainless steel matte-finish barrel to withstand the most brutal weather conditions. The left-handed version comes in 223 Rem., 22-250 Rem., 243 Win., 270 Win., 7mm-08 Rem., 7mm Rem. Mag., 308 Win., 30-06 Sprg. and 300 Win. Mag.
“The Model 110 Tactical also comes in a left-handed 308 Win.,” she continued. “It is suppressor-ready and fitted with a heavy, fluted, 24-inch barrel, ideal for extreme accuracy in all conditions.”
Savage adds to its rimfire family with left-handed versions of the B17 17 HMR, B22 22 LR and B22 22 WMR bolt-action rimfire rifles. “All feature a sporter barrel and black synthetic stock,” said Treglia. “The B Series’ ergonomic stock, higher comb, top tang safety and target-style, vertical pistol grip allow shooters to hold the rifle in a more natural position that puts less pressure on the wrist.”
Like the popular A Series rimfires, all B Series rifles feature a 10-round rotary magazine and the accuracy-boosting adjustable AccuTrigger. The B Series also features Savage’s accuracy-boosting zero-tolerance, thread-in headspace system similar to that of the company’s centerfire models.

STREAMLIGHT® LAUNCHES POLYTAC® X FLASHLIGHT

Posted on Wednesday, 10 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

New Tactical Light Features High Lumens, Multiple Battery Options

EAGLEVILLE, PA, January 9, 2018 – Streamlight® Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting and weapon light/laser sighting devices, announced it has added a new model to its PolyTac® line of tactical lights to include an enhanced, dual fuel version. The new light, the PolyTac® X, features 600 lumens, and offers the versatility of a rechargeable battery option.

The light can be powered by either two 3-volt CR123 lithium batteries or one Streamlight rechargeable 18650 lithium ion battery. This multi-battery option allows for use of primary disposable batteries if the rechargeable cell is out of power.

“With its battery versatility and powerful lumen rating, the new PolyTac X is among the brightest and most adaptable polymer tactical lights on the market today,” said Streamlight Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Michael F. Dineen. “It is ideal for everything from conducting searches in low light to lighting up an outdoor trail to repairing equipment. Even when a charging source is not available, you can use disposable batteries, ensuring that you will never run out of power in any situation.”

The PolyTac X uses a power LED to provide three lighting modes:  high, medium, low, and strobe.  Regardless of battery source, the light delivers 600 lumens on high, 11,485 candela, and a 205-meter beam distance, which is enough to provide critical lighting for a range of tactical uses.  When using CR123A batteries, run times range from 2.75 to 34 hours; when using the 18650 battery, they range from 3.5 to 36 hours.  On the strobe setting, run times are 5.5 hours and 8 hours, respectively.

The light’s TEN-TAP® programmable push-button switch allows users to select from three programs: high/strobe/low (factory default); high only or low/medium/high.

The PolyTac X is exceptionally durable, featuring a case made of high impact super tough nylon polymer that also provides a sure grip.  It weighs 4.34 ounces and measures 5.46 inches.

The new light features an IPX7-rated design, providing waterproof operation to 1 meter for 30 minutes, and is impact-resistant tested to 3 meters.  It is available in black, yellow, or coyote.

Streamlight offers an optional 18650 Battery Charger that can recharge either one or two batteries simultaneously, and permits charging through either AC/DC or USB power sources.

The PolyTac X has an MSRP of $75.00.  It is packaged with two CR123 batteries and a removable pocket clip and comes with Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime warranty.

TANDEMKROSS Introduces Steel Compensator for Shooting Sports

Posted on Wednesday, 10 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

WEARE, N.H. – In rimfire competition, milliseconds can mean the difference between a winning and losing string, and an effective compensator can give you a winning edge.
TANDEMKROSS, a top manufacturer of aftermarket accessories for rimfire pistols and rifles, is pleased to announce the release of the new stainless steel “Game Changer PRO” Compensator, a high-performance upgrade for Ruger® MK Series, Ruger® 10/22, SW22® Victory™, Browning Buck Mark and other ½ x 28 threaded barrels.
The “Game Changer PRO” steel compensator adds weight to the front of the pistol for better balance and more accuracy. The compensator vents gases up and away from the gun at 45-degree angles for better visibility and control, and reduces muzzle rise to improve speed when moving between targets.
“The ‘Game Changer PRO’ ups the quality and durability over the original ‘Game Changer’ compensator,” said TANDEMKROSS Product Development Director Jake Wyman. “Our customers asked for a compensator that was steel and easier to clean and we’ve given them what they asked for with the creation of the ‘Game Changer PRO’.”  
The “Game Changer PRO” is available in raw stainless steel or a proprietary easy-clean coating black finish. The easy-clean coating makes compensator maintenance simple, while the raw steel compensator allows the user to use tougher solvents and cleaners without damaging the compensator.
The “Game Changer PRO” is easy to install and fits any standard ½ x 28 threaded barrels.

Lyman® Products New Brass Smith Victory™ Press, the Workhorse for the Reloading Bench

Posted on Wednesday, 10 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Visit Lyman® Products, booth # 12724 at the 2018 SHOT Show.

Super sturdy, the Victory™ Press features a newly designed straight line primer feed.

Middletown, Conn. (January 2018) – Lyman® Products introduces the must-have new Brass Smith Victory™ Press, the foundational press for every reloader’s bench. Built on a heavy duty cast iron “O” frame with an added 1-inch diameter ram and compound linkage, the Victory Press is one of the most rugged and rigid available on the market.

Unlike many competitive presses, the Victory Press features a newly designed straight line primer feed that is totally reliable and very simple to use.  By simply pushing the priming arm forward at the bottom of the ram travel to position it beneath the shell holder, the user will experience a tight, precise and smooth operation. As an added safety feature, the primer feed comes with a heavy steel shield that surrounds the primer tubes. A large 5-inch frame opening makes even the largest magnum calibers easy to load. The easy to grip ball handle can be positioned for either right or left hand use. Finished with a durable powder coat finish, the Lyman New Brass Smith Single Stage Press is the ideal press for beginners to the more seasoned reloader.

“It has been a while since Lyman Products introduced new presses, for the very simple reason that our presses are built to be so durable that they actually end up being handed down in families,” Trevor Mullen, VP of Global Marketing and Business Development for Lyman Products, said. “But for 2018, we decided we needed to add certain features that make these new presses even better than their former models. Our new presses, like the Victory Press, will give the casual or serious reloader years and years of operational satisfaction, with built in safety confidence and a wide range of potential calibers to produce.”

Lyman Brass Smith Victory Press Specifications:

  • Heavy duty cast iron “O” frame
  • Designed for use with any standard 7/8″ x 14 thread dies
  • Accepts standard shell holders
  • 1″ diameter ram
  • Comes with straight line primer feed with large and small primer tubes

Federal Premium Launches All-New Syntech Action Pistol Ammunition, Partners with USPSA

Posted on Tuesday, 9 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 8, 2018 – Federal Premium’s all-new Syntech Action Pistol ammunition helps competitive action sports shooters stay on top of their game. The clean-burning, hard-hitting and extremely accurate ammunition offers a variety of benefits that make it a perfect choice for fast-paced, high-volume competition shooting. Federal Premium will launch Syntech Action Pistol at the 2018 SHOT Show (Booth No. 14551) January 23-26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Syntech Action Pistol utilizes all the same technology as the standard Syntech ammunition but is tailored specifically to the competitive pistol application,” said John Swenson, Federal Premium handgun ammunition design engineer. “During extended matches, the reduced fouling and cooler gun temperatures allow competitors to keep their focus on their performance and the match rather than equipment maintenance.”
The new bullets and loads are also designed to produce the least possible felt recoil while meeting power factor requirements and cycling reliably. “Reduced recoil in time-sensitive events means less muzzle rise and less time required for follow-up shots,” Swenson said. “That means more consistent hits and lower stage-completion times.”
Syntech Action Pistol builds off the success of original Syntech technology, which replaces standard copper jacketing with an exclusive polymer-encapsulated bullet. Syntech’s Total Synthetic Jacket (TSJ) prevents metal-on-metal contact between bullet and barrel, eliminating copper and lead fouling while reducing damaging heat and friction, thereby reducing cleaning chores and extending barrel life.
“Syntech Action Pistol offers even better performance for competitive handgunners,” said Swenson. “It features the same TSJ but is loaded to competition power-factor requirements. Its heavy, flatter-nose bullets provide more reliable knock-downs on steel targets in competition and drastically reduce splash-back.”
The nose design also helps competitors shooting paper targets. “The flatter nose provides a larger-diameter perforation, making scoring clearer for hits that are near the edge of scoring zones rather than having to rely on the grease ring,” Swenson explained.
In addition, Syntech Action Pistol uses clean-burning powders that minimize barrel residue, and its Catalyst lead-free primer provides consistent, reliable ignition.
Federal Premium offers Syntech Action Pistol in 9mm Luger, 40 S&W and 45 Auto. Designers configured the loads to meet the accuracy, reliability and power factor requirements of shooters who compete in the International Practice Shooting Confederation (IPSC) and United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA).
“Until the creation of Syntech Action Pistol, reloading was the preferred way to meet these needs,” said Swenson. “With our factory-loaded ammunition, shooters have a simple, convenient and better solution.”
Federal Premium recently signed on as sponsor of the USPSA, and Syntech Action Pistol is the official sponsored ammo of the organization, with their logo on the box.
“We’re proud to be the first major ammunition manufacturer to enter this exciting arena,” said Justin Johnson, Federal Premium product line manager. “USPSA shooters demand very specific things from their ammunition. It needs to be accurate, consistent, reliable, and meet power-factor requirements. Until our launch of Syntech Action Pistol, reloading was the preferred way to achieve all of the above. With our factory-loaded ammunition, shooters have a simple, convenient and better solution.”
Federal Premium is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. For more information on Federal Premium, go to www.federalpremium.com.

VIRIDIAN® TESTIFIES AT PUBLIC HEARINGS AS WEAPON-MOUNTED CAMERA (WMC) PILOT PROGRAMS BEGIN

Posted on Tuesday, 9 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

bf720bdf-8472-45b5-8417-ef7535b1d266MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – January 8, 2018 –FACT Duty™ Weapon-Mounted Cameras (WMCs™) are now in the hands of local, state and international agencies as the first round of pilot programs is underway. In support of these programs, Viridian Weapon Technologies recently testified at two public hearings regarding the implementation of WMCs.
Viridian has created an entirely new category for handguns and law enforcement with the introduction of the FACT™ camera. The highly advanced WMC employs a 1080p full-HD digital camera with a microphone and 500 lumen tactical light. Designed exclusively to answer the needs of duty officers, the FACT camera provides an unobstructed view between the gun’s muzzle and subject, overcoming an inherent limitation with body camera products.
“We are pleased with our progress on the project and early results with law enforcement,” said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. “Our pilot program has been adopted by several agencies across the nation and internationally—and many more have signed up to kick off in the near future. Getting FACT Duty into the hands of officers and allowing departments large and small to test WMCs themselves is a huge step. We now have the validation and real-time feedback that our products perform and meet the evolving needs of today’s law enforcement personnel.”
Viridian has sent units to multiples states, and those products are currently being used as part of specifically-designed pilot programs and testing and evaluation processes. States and municipalities have widely varying guidelines, requirements and procedures for implementing WMCs, including requirements for device-use policies and public comment and hearings prior to adopting the equipment. Recently, Viridian was compelled to testify at two public hearings for agencies in its home state of Minnesota. General Counsel, Matthew Plowman, represented the company and presented data and information to help facilitate getting these products in the hands of officers.
“The need for Weapon-Mounted Cameras in law enforcement is real,” said Plowman. “Our chance to testify at two recent public hearings has helped us convey this message. In a number of recent high-profile officer involved shootings, there have been multiple views of incidents from body or dash cams—and even cell phones. However, often times, the critical moments of the confrontation are not clearly captured.
“FACT Duty WMCs are tools to provide additional objective evidence both for potential legal proceedings and for police communication to the general public to help reduce the uncertainty in officer-involved shootings that fuels so much conflict.”
Viridian’s proprietary INSTANT-ON® technology automatically activates the camera and microphone whenever the officer draws the firearm from its holster. Not only does this eliminate risk of failure to manually turn on the camera during a critical event, but it also keeps the officer from fumbling with cumbersome equipment. All three FACT models—including the FACT DUTY™,FACT COMPACT™ and FACT MICRO™—come fully equipped with Viridian’s patented INSTANT-ON® technology.
Law enforcement agencies interested in signing up for pilot programs or learning more about this product can contact sales@ViridianWeaponTech.com. Information on FACT cameras and the entire line of Viridian products can be found at www.ViridianWeaponTech.com.

Federal Premium Enhances Self-Defense Firepower With New Hydra-Shok Deep

Posted on Monday, 8 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

ANOKA, Minnesota – January 5, 2018 – Federal Premium built on the legendary performance of its time-tested Hydra-Shok platform to create new Hydra-Shok Deep. The hard-hitting new round delivers improved penetration and superior reliability to provide handgun owners with a powerful new option for personal defense. Federal Premium will launch Hydra-Shok Deep at the 2018 SHOT Show (Booth 14551) January 23-26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“Hydra-Shok Deep offers consumers a round that results in consistent, reliable performance through typical defensive barriers and penetrates to the depth deemed optimum by the leading law-enforcement agency in the United States,” said Larry Head, director and chief engineer of handgun ammunition.
Original Hydra-Shok has been a self-defense staple since its creation in 1989 in response to the FBI’s request for a projectile with better terminal ballistics than traditional cup-and-core bullets. The Hydra-Shok bullet’s notched jacket, non-bonded lead core and unique center-post hollow-point design produced better penetration and more consistent threat-stopping expansion than other bullets at the time.
“FBI performance requirements and protocol testing have evolved over time,” said Head. “One of the most notable changes has been the desire for deeper-penetrating rounds and more consistency in penetration depths though all intermediate barriers.”
New Hydra-Shok Deep was built to meet these modern standards. Its bullet features a core design that provides up to 50 percent deeper penetration than original Hydra-Shok and similar loads from competitors, and the center post has been improved so it’s more robust, which provides better integrity and performance through barriers. Testing shows that Hydra-Shok Deep penetrates 15 inches in bare ballistics gelatin, which is the optimal depth, according to FBI standards.
Hydra-Shok Deep not only outscores the competition in testing, its remarkable improvements in expansion, penetration and integrity through defensive barriers boost real-world performance as well. “Hydra-Shok Deep reliably stops threats by controlling bullet expansion to cause significant tissue damage and penetrating deep enough to reach vital organs,” said Head.
Hydra-Shok Deep also uses surefire Federal primer and premium propellants to ensure optimum performance of both bullet and firearm. The propellants also contain flash suppressants to reduce muzzle flash and minimize temporary blindness in low-light shooting situations.
Hydra-Shok Deep will initially be offered in a 135-grain 9mm Luger, with other loads coming soon.
Federal Premium is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. For more information on Federal Premium, go to www.federalpremium.com.

American Suppressor Association Recaps 2017 and Looks to 2018

Posted on Monday, 8 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

2017: Year In Review

We can’t look ahead to the future without first taking a look back. We began 2017 with high hopes following the inauguration of our 45th President of the United States. As the leading organization representing suppressor enthusiasts and the suppressor industry, we worked hard throughout 2017 to promote the Hearing Protection Act (HPA) as both a standalone bill and as part of the Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act (SHARE). Although it has not yet reached President Trump’s desk, the HPA gained more cosponsors and advanced further than ever before. As of December 31, the HPA has 164 cosponsors in the House and 18 cosponsors in the Senate. The HPA was consistently in the list of Top 10 most viewed bills at Congress.gov week after week, and was listed as the #8 most viewed bill in 2017.
In 2017, we also worked on state level advocacy to legalize suppressors in the eight states remaining that do not allow for private ownership. We helped introduce bills in every state, with the exception of New Jersey, to legalize suppressor ownership and hunting.

Agenda for 2018

The ASA will maintain our focus in 2018 on both State lobbying through our “No State Left Behind” campaign, as well as pushing for NFA reforms aimed at reducing transfer times, modernizing NFA  workflow and further streamlining the application process.
While the ultimate goal remains to remove suppressors from the NFA through passage of the Hearing Protection Act, we are also seeking solutions that provide relief from unacceptably long transfer times for consumers. These long transfer times continue to stifle the growth and innovation of the suppressor industry.
We’d like to thank our members and sponsors for their continued support. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to continue our work. If you are not yet a member of the ASA we hope that 2018 will be the year that you choose to join the fight.

OTHER EXAMPLE OF PHISHING EMAILS

Posted on Saturday, 6 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

Screenshot 2018-01-06 14.27.57

Take a look at the body of this e-mail message advising the target that their e-mail account will be deactivated. There are several things to note here. First, the individual is working a list of known good e-mail accounts. Second, take a look at how the perpetrator spells “De-activation.” They also include a footer to the message indicating not to respond to this e-mail. The objective here is to get the unsuspecting target to click on the hyperlink.

The image below reveals that the message comes from a callmeamanda321. This is a bogus email account which is the reason they attempt to steer you from responding to their email via a reply. A common practice used in legitimate transactions; for example, advising you that your purchase has shipped or other informational messages. The callmeamanda321 is bogus (.i.e. non- existent account)  or mapped to another email account.

These types of phishing attacks are relatively successful because of the topic, composition and the fact that they have your actual e-mail address, and reference it in the body of the message text.

The majority of cyber attacks on government and enterprise IT resources come from these types of e-mail attacks, and the inability of the individual to assess the validity of the message content.

FBI Contract Awarded to Winchester

Posted on Friday, 5 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

EAST ALTON, Ill., January 4, 2018–  The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has completed an extensive evaluation process and Winchester has been chosen as its primary source for .40 S&W pistol ammunition. This includes a bonded jacketed hollow point (JHP) service cartridge as well as full metal jacket (FMJ) and frangible training loads. Winchester has been supplying the FBI with service and training ammunition for many years and is honored to be awarded the most recent contract and continue to support our nation’s premier law enforcement agency.
The 180 gr. bonded jacketed hollow point (JHP) cartridge selected by the FBI is designed with patented technology that utilizes a reverse-jacketed, bonded bullet that can penetrate a wide variety of intermediate barriers while maintaining very consistent target penetration and reliable expansion. The nickel-plated cartridge prevents corrosion and ensures smooth feeding and extraction. Flash suppressed powder is used in this cartridge to maintain an agent’s night vision and meet the FBI’s stringent darkened range evaluation.
“The FBI uses one of the most rigorous ammunition tests ever developed and we are very proud that Winchester has been identified as having the best product performance.” said Matt Campbell, vice president of marketing and sales for Winchester.

Air Venturi to Release World’s First Frangible BB Ammo

Posted on Friday, 5 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

Air Venturi Dust Devil BBs

CLEVELAND, OHIO (January 4, 2018)  Air Venturi, the leading manufacturer and importer of airgun, airsoft, and ammunition brands, is proud to announce the release of the revolutionary Dust Devil BBs, the world’s first frangible .177 caliber BB.  Dust Devils are 10% faster than traditional steel BBs and shatter on impact with hardened targets for reducing ricochets and providing an overall safer shooting experience.

“Made right here in the USA, this new patent pending ammo is designed for dynamic shooting sessions where shooters don’t have to worry about ricochet,” says Paul Milkovich, Air Venturi’s Director of Business Development. “While frangible ammo has been popular with firearm shooters for decades, Air Venturi is the first company to produce a BB that leaves ricochets in the dust.  Dust Devils are BBs perfected and we’re sure backyard plinkers and indoor shooters will take notice.”

Dust Devil BBs disintegrate into tiny fragments that safely crumble and fall, instead of sending rounds bouncing back at the shooter. Its proprietary blend of special alloys create a round that shoots 10% faster and is completely lead-free. Adding to Air Venturi’s wide assortment of air guns, airsoft guns and ammunition, Dust Devil BBs will be available beginning in March 2018.

For additional information on the new Air Venturi frangible ammo, contact Air Venturi Marketing Manager, Kristen Coss by email: kristen.coss@airventuri.com, or phone: 216-292-2570 ext. 253.

Harry Collins Lt. (SS) USNR Joins Twobirds Flying Publications as Staff Writer

Posted on Thursday, 4 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

clip_image002

clip_image006We are pleased to announce that Lt. Collins has joined our team as a staff writer. Lt. Collins served in Southeast Asia then joined the Submarine Force serving aboard the USS Ray SSN-653 as well as other Commands. I had the honor to serve with Harry; he is one hell of a warrior not to mention a “chick magnet.”

clip_image004While in Southeast Asia, Harry conducted operations that included infiltrations and exfiltrations, along with patrols  to intercept waterborne enemy movement of supplies and personnel. 

“…We spent most of 1968 in I Corp running the Cua Viet River to Dong Ha on the DMZ, the Perfume River to Hue, and in and out of Da Nang for three Counteroffensives of Tet. The latter part of 1968 we were in III Corp on the Mekong Delta. I volunteered for submarine duty while in Saigon…”

Harry left the Navy after 11 years of service then sailed with the Merchant Marine as an Able Seaman. In Harry’s own words:

“… I left the Navy after a little with over 11 years of service in 1978. I sailed in the Merchant Marine as an Able Seaman aboard tankers, freighters, and container ships. When I had enough sea time I sat for my Deck Officers License. Within 17 days of obtaining my License for steam or motor vessels of any gross tons upon oceans I had a berth as Third Mate. I applied for a Navy Reserve Commission and became a 1625 Officer. I called the Chief Torpedoman off the Ray and told him they had made me an Ensign. He said, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone…”

In addition to distinguished military service, Harry is a proud Kentuckian, devout husband, father, proud grandpa and a real outdoorsman.

“…I grew up on thoroughbred horse farms. We had other livestock as well. Pigs, chickens, sheep, and cattle were a part of the daily routine. Under my father’s supervision I was shooting groundhogs with a 220 Swift at age 8. We shot dove, quail, and ducks too. There was no season for deer state wide simply because their population was so small.. Only on military reservations did they have a season. I rode horses everywhere and fox hunted. After I was too old for pony club we started playing polo. In high school I played football and pole vaulted…”

Posted on Thursday, 4 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

 

G19X-Civilian-GlamourShot

SMYRNA, GA. – Jan 2, 2018 GLOCK, Inc., today introduces their first ever “Crossover” pistol, the GLOCK 19X, which combines the best features of two of its most popular and most trusted field-tested platforms. The full-size GLOCK 17 frame and the compact GLOCK 19 slide have joined forces for the ideal pistol for all conditions and all situations.

“The G19X was developed for the military and is a practical everyday pistol that will do what you need it to do, when you need it to; every time, in every condition,” said GLOCK VP Josh Dorsey.  “Using GLOCKs combat proven experience with consideration to efficiency, dependability and durability, and through rigorous testing, the G19X stands out above the competition and has the ability to function in harsh climates and all conditions with increased accuracy and ultimate reliability.  Our goal was to meet the demanding needs of the military while maintaining our standard of perfection,” said Dorsey.  “With proven testing results and fewer parts than our competitors’ pistols, the G19X has maximum efficiency, reliability and is easy to maintain.”

G19X_Case 01Confidence now comes in a different color with the first-ever factory colored slide. The GLOCK 19X’s improved nPVD slide coating prevents corrosion, resists chemicals, and stands up against the elements. The pistol comes in coyote color and includes a standard 17-round magazine and two 17+2-round magazines along with a coyote-colored pistol case.

 

Among the additional design features of the G19X are the GLOCK Marksman Barrel (GMB) which delivers increased accuracy with enhanced polygonal rifling and an improved barrel crown, no finger grooves, ambidextrous slide stop levers for better versatility, and a lanyard loop.

Accuracy

The aggregate effect of all the G19X design enhancements gives any user the confidence to succeed and survive in all situations. A perfect “Crossover to Confidence”.

The G19X will be available on dealer shelves beginning January, 22nd, 2018 at select dealers.

Savage Unveils Updated Model 110 Series Rifles Featuring Form-Fitting AccuFit System

Posted on Thursday, 4 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – January 3, 2018 – Savage firearms is pleased to unveil a refreshed version of its legendary Model 110 series rifles that takes fit, form and function to new heights. The updated Model 110 lineup features a fresh look and the all-new user-adjustable AccuFit system. Savage will launch the new lineup at the 2018 SHOT Show January 23-26 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Model 110 series’ extreme makeover began as a cosmetic facelift focused on style and aesthetics, but soon grew into a quest to produce a platform that would allow hunters and other shooters to perfectly customize fit for ultimate accuracy, without a trip to a gunsmith. The result was the development of the revolutionary AccuFit system.
AccuFit features adjustable components that allow users to custom-fit both comb height and length of pull. The only tool needed is a Phillips-head screwdriver.
“AccuFit makes it easy for shooters to achieve a fit that allows them to shoulder the gun and align their eye with the optics in a consistent manner, without having to move their head around to compensate for being the wrong height or distance from the scope,” said Beth Shimanski, Savage senior marketing manager. “The resulting combination of a solid cheek-to-stock connection, proper eye relief and comfortable, personalized fit add up to better shooting form and improved accuracy.”
Comb height is controlled by five riser settings, adjustable in 1/8-inch increments. “Simply select the riser that creates cheek-to-stock contact and aligns your line of sight parallel to the barrel or scope,” Shimanski explained. Length of pull is likewise fully adaptable to the shooter’s stature by using the four inserts included with the rifle.
“AccuFit is usually a set-and-forget system, but its versatility allows you to tailor length of pull and comb height as needed, such as when changing optics or donning bulky clothing for cold-weather hunting,” said Shimanski. “AccuFit also accommodates physical changes, making it the perfect youth gun that will grow with the shooter throughout a lifetime of use.”
Shimanski noted that AccuFit’s adaptability also increases the rifle’s resale value, because it can easily be customized to fit the new owner. Likewise, the gun can be adjusted as needed if the gun is handed down to a family member.
In addition to AccuFit, all Model 110s also offer Savage’s patented user-adjustable AccuTrigger, which offers a light, crisp trigger pull with no creep and prevents the firearm from discharging if jarred or dropped. An AccuStock chassis is also standard. The rigid rail system, firmly embedded in the stock through the fore-end of the rifle, engages the action along its entire length, instead of simply at one or two points, yielding increased rigidity for better accuracy.
Each new Model 110 also sports new cosmetics and enhanced ergonomics, including improved pistol grip and fore-end shaping, plus soft-touch gripping surfaces. Other Savage hallmarks include zero-tolerance headspace control, achieved by carefully threading each barrel into place with its action and bolt, plus free-floating, button-rifled barrels and floating bolt heads.
Savage’s revamped Model 110 rifles are available in in a variety of finishes and feature packages within its Big Game Hunting and Specialty series, ensuring there’s a rifle for every kind of hunter and application.
Savage is a brand of Vista Outdoor Inc., an outdoor sports and recreation company. To learn more about Savage, visit www.savagearms.com.

AeroVironment Announces Joint Venture and Solar High-Altitude Long-Endurance Unmanned Aircraft System Development Program

Posted on Wednesday, 3 January, 2018 by twobirdsflyingpub

MONROVIA, Calif., Jan. 3, 2018 – AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), a global leader in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for both defense and commercial applications, today announced the formation of a joint venture to develop solar-powered high-altitude long-endurance, or HALE, UAS for commercial operations.  This category of UAS is also referred to as high-altitude pseudo-satellites, or HAPS.  The joint venture will fund the development program up to a net maximum value of $65,011,481.

The joint venture, HAPSMobile, Inc., is a Japanese corporation that is 95 percent funded and owned by Japan-based telecommunications operator SoftBank Corp. and 5 percent funded and owned by AeroVironment, Inc.  AeroVironment is committed to contribute $5 million in capital for its 5 percent ownership of the joint venture, and has an option to increase its ownership stake in HAPSMobile up to 19 percent at the same cost basis as its initial 5 percent purchase.

“This is a historic moment for AeroVironment.  For many years, we have fully understood the incredible value high-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aircraft platforms could deliver to countless organizations and millions of people around the world through remote sensing and last mile, next generation IoT connectivity,” said Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment chief executive officer.  “We were searching for the right strategic partner to pursue this very large global opportunity with us.  Now we believe we are extremely well-positioned to build on the decades of successful development we have performed to translate our solar UAS innovations into long-term value through HAPSMobile, Inc.  Our entire team is excited, and we look forward to transforming this strategic growth opportunity into reality.”

AeroVironment pioneered the concept of high-altitude solar-powered UAS in the 1980s, and developed and demonstrated multiple systems for NASA’s Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology, or ERAST program, in the late 1990s and early 2000s.  In August 2001, the AeroVironment Helios prototype reached an altitude of 96,863 feet, setting the world-record for sustained horizontal flight by a winged aircraft.  In 2002, the AeroVironment Pathfinder Plus prototype performed the world’s first UAS telecommunications demonstrations at 65,000 feet by providing high-definition television (HDTV) signals, third-generation (3G) mobile voice, video and data and high-speed internet connectivity.  Multiple United States government agencies funded the development of the hybrid-electric Global Observer unmanned aircraft system from 2007 through 2011.  Global Observer represents a solution for extended operation over high Northern and Southern latitudes during local winters, when the sun’s energy is insufficient to maintain continuous solar aircraft operation at high altitude.

SoftBank Corp. and AeroVironment, Inc. have agreed to license certain background intellectual properties to HAPSMobile, which will own the newly developed UAS intellectual property and possess exclusive rights for commercial applications globally, and non-commercial applications in Japan.  AeroVironment will possess exclusive rights to the resulting intellectual property for certain non-commercial applications, except in Japan.  AeroVironment will also possess exclusive rights to design and manufacture all such aircraft in the future for HAPSMobile, subject to the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement.

For additional information, please see AeroVironment’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2018.
