Handle, blade profile, liner lock make the Homefront a top of the line design, but what makes it truly exceptional is Ken Onion’s patented Field Strip Technology.

Morgan Advanced Materials to Unveil Lightest Ballistic Helmet Models to Date at DSEI
Visitors to this year’s DSEI exhibition can experience first-hand two new ultra-lightweight ballistic helmets, being launched by the Composite and Defence business of Morgan Advanced Materials.
The AC912 and AC913 are new additions to Morgan’s acclaimed Lightweight Armored Soldier Architecture (LASA) range, and the result of Morgan’s world-leading expertise in advanced ballistic composite technology. While both models have been specially designed to be lighter than their AC914 and AC915 counterparts, they retain impressive ballistic, fragmentation, flammability and blunt trauma characteristics, ensuring maximum maneuverability without compromising on protection. The helmets are highly suitable for elite and regular military, defense, security and law enforcement personnel operating in protracted combat scenarios. The AC912 and AC913 helmets come with D3O TRUST® padding and Team Wendy’s CAM-FIT™ retention systems as standard, delivering maximum comfort and stability to the wearer.
Designed as a standard issue solution for combat operations, the AC912, weighing just 1.18kg (medium helmet) is a full cut helmet that covers the ears for greater protection. By contrast, the AC913, weighing just 1.05kg (medium helmet) features a high-cut design to ensure enhanced situational awareness for end-users, allowing elite police and special forces to remain fully alert to potential threats and dangerous situations. Both helmets can be upgraded to include lightweight open architecture slide rails, bungees and a shroud for mounting tactical accessories, helping users to gain the upper hand in combat.
James Kempston, Director of Business Development – Composites and Defence Systems, explains: “For decades, advanced composite technology from Morgan has played a vital part in ensuring that military and law enforcement personnel are fully protected in the line of fire. Our new helmets continue to provide high levels of protection, combined with extraordinary low weight properties. The AC912 and AC913 have been developed to enable defense and security personnel to remain safe against a diverse range of threats.

FIME Group Announces Only 400 Molot Vepr 12 model (VPR-12-02) Shotguns Remaining
Las Vegas, NV (Sept. 10, 2017) – www.fimegroup.com
The FIME Group, the importer of Molot Vepr rifles and shotguns, is announcing to the public that there are only approximately 400 of the Vepr-12-02 model shotguns available for purchase. Molot has the reputation of being one of the most reliable and consistent manufacturers of firearms in the industry and produces some of the most sought after Kalashnikov-based products available.
“This is it. This is all we have and it is one of the most sought after configurations of the VEPR 12 that we imported,” says Walker English of the FIME Group. “The distributor RSR Group holds all of the remaining stock in their inventory. If a customer would like to purchase one of these models, this is their last chance to do so. They need to either have their local dealer order one through RSR, or seek out an online dealer or another dealer that might have one in stock. Given the current sanctions, once these are gone, there are no more available..”
Based on the RPK light machine gun Kalashnikov variant, the Molot Vepr 12 (VPR-12-02) is an original Russian production 12-gauge shotgun. Due to import regulations, Molot products have been banned from US importation; thus making them instant collectors items and must-haves in any serious collection.
“We wanted our customers to be aware of the limited inventory levels, so that if there was a desire to own one of these shotguns, they could take advantage of this opportunity before it was too late,” adds English.

IWI US to Phase Out the Original TAVOR SAR
The TAVOR® X95™ Takes Center Stage
Harrisburg, Pa. (September 2017) – IWI US, Inc., a subsidiary of Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) Ltd., announced today that they will be phasing out the original TAVOR® SAR from their product line.
The TAVOR SAR revolutionized the market for bullpup carbines in the US when it was first introduced in 2013. When the “next generation” TAVOR® X95™ was released in 2016, sales of the original SAR declined as consumers willingly embraced the improvements and upgrades in the X95.
“The market has spoken and it prefers the TAVOR X95”, said Michael Kassnar, VP of Sales & Marketing for IWI US. “We will phase out TAVOR SAR production over the next few months and concentrate on our X95, along with our recently announced TAVOR 7, for the future.”
The 2017 Golden Bullseye Award winning rifle of the year from Shooting Illustrated, the TAVOR X95’s compact, ergonomic design coupled with it outstanding reliability has won rave reviews from the public and shooting sports media, as well as law enforcement agencies.
The TAVOR X95 bullpup includes many upgrades from the original SAR model including a new fire control pack with a 5 to 6 lb. trigger pull, a repositioning of the ambidextrous mag release to an AR-15 location, Picatinny rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions on the forearm with removable rail covers, the charging handle moved closer to the shooter’s center mass and a modular TAVOR style pistol grip that can be replaced with an optional standard pistol grip and traditional trigger guard with a smaller, lower profile bolt release button.
The TAVOR X95 is available in 5.56 in 16.5″ barrel for right and left handed shooters, and an 18.5″ barrel (also available for restricted states), 9mm with a 17″ barrel and the new .300 Blackout version. Conversion kits in 9mm and the new .300 Blackout are also available and color finishes include Black, Flat Dark Earth and OD Green. MSRP is $1,999.00 (.300 BLK is $2,049.00).

NDIA Applauds Passage of a Continuing Resolution – encourages fast action to fully fund fiscal year 2018
ARLINGTON, VA – The National Defense Industrial Association is pleased with congressional actions Friday that saw a funding resolution passed to avoid a government shutdown. NDIA now calls on officials to act and pass the full fiscal year 2018 budget.
From retired Gen. Hawk Carlisle, NDIA president and chief executive officer:
“The National Defense Industrial Association applauds congressional action this week to pass a continuing resolution that keeps the federal government running, extends our nation’s debt limit, and provides relief for those areas ravaged by Hurricane Harvey. Now, we call on Congress and the White House to negotiate a grand bargain before the next deadline of Dec. 8 that provides predictable, stable, and sufficient funding for the rest of fiscal year 2018 and beyond.
“While we welcome the compromises that spare jobs from furlough and the government from shutting down, this is not a permanent fix. Forcing the Defense Department to operate under a continuing resolution for the ninth consecutive year will do serious harm to the readiness of our armed forces, military communities, and the men and women in uniform. Our federal workers and military members deserve our full support, not more uncertainty.”
Carlisle was among the 12 leaders of the Defense Related Associations who authored a Sept. 7 letter to congressional leadership encouraging regular order for the 2018 defense authorization and appropriations measures.
ABOUT NDIA
The National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) is the trusted leader in defense and national security associations. As a 501(c)(3) corporate and individual membership association, NDIA engages thoughtful and innovative leaders to exchange ideas, information, and capabilities that lead to the development of the best policies, practices, products, and technologies to ensure the safety and security of our nation.

What to Do with Firearms and Ammunition Affected by Flood Waters
NSSF and SAAMI Provide Guidance on Dealing with Submerged Guns and Ammunition
NEWTOWN, Conn. — Firearms owners who have seen their guns and stored ammunition submerged by flood waters in storm-wracked areas are probably wondering if their firearms and ammunition can be salvaged and safely used.
The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute® (SAAMI®) and National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®) point to two helpful documents containing guidelines to assist gun owners in making sound decisions related to safely handling and treating or disposing of these items, emphasizing to always err on the side of caution and safety.
SAAMI, founded in 1926, is an organization that creates and publishes industry standards on firearms and ammunition. NSSF is the trade association for the firearms and ammunition industry.
The SAAMI document “Guidance on Firearms That Have Been Submerged or Exposed to Extensive Amounts of Water” points out two major concerns about firearms that have been exposed to water: parts susceptible to moisture and rust damage such as metal parts, wood stocks and grips, and optics; and, secondly, infiltration of the action, barrel and safety systems by grit, silt and other foreign debris.
Always unload firearms before beginning any treatment process.
It’s important to limit moisture and corrosion damage to the component parts of the firearm. This can be accomplished by disassembling the component parts and using up to two coats of a moisture-displacing lubricant such as Hoppes #9 MDL or WD-40 to clean and stabilize the parts while, importantly, following the product’s directions so as not to damage, for instance, plastic or synthetic parts. Another tip is to allow wood stocks and grips to air-dry and not be force dried by exposure to heat.
The document emphasizes that once the firearm has been thoroughly dried, consideration must be given to having the firearm inspected and serviced by the manufacturer, an authorized service center, or a qualified gunsmith before putting the firearm back in service.
Dealing with Submerged Ammunition
To help firearms owners determine what to do with ammunition that has been affected by water and moisture, SAAMI offers another helpful document, “Guidance on Ammunition That Has Been Submerged in Water.”
Discussed are differences in moisture resistance between centerfire, rimfire and shotshell ammunition, and potential hazards associated with “drying out” cartridges, including possible deterioration and damage to cartridges due to drying methods.
Another serious hazard that could result from using compromised ammunition is the potential for a bore obstruction due to partial ignition of either the priming compound or the propellant powder charge, or both. Firing a subsequent round through an obstructed barrel can result in bodily injury, death and property damage.
SAAMI provides the following cautionary conclusion: “It would be impossible to ascertain for certain the extent of the deteriorating affect, if any, the water may have had on each individual cartridge. Therefore, the safe answer is that no attempt be made to salvage or use submerged ammunition. The ammunition should be disposed of in a safe and responsible manner. Contact your local law enforcement agency for disposal instructions in your area.

MPA Sponsored Shooters (L-R) Jon Pynch, second place, Aaron Hipp, first place, and Scott Satterlee, third place at the Meaford Long Range Steel Challenge.
Comer, Ga. – (September 2017) – MasterPiece Arms (MPA), manufacturers of the MPA BA Rifles and Chassis Systems, is proud to announce that its sponsored shooter Matt Brousseau and Tyler Payne took first and third place, respectively, using the MPA BA Chassis, at the CORE Fall Classic, held at CORE Shooting in Baker, Florida, Sept. 2 – 3, 2017. In addition, sponsored shooters Aaron Hipp, Jon Pynch and Scott Satterlee swept the top three spots, using the MPA BA Chassis, at the Meaford Long Range Steel Challenge, held at the 4th Canadian Division Training Center just outside of Meaford, Ontario, Canada, Sept. 2 – 3, 2017.
Tyler Payne
“George designed one hell of a match down at CORE Shooting that tested you both mentally and physically. I’m pretty happy to come away with this win after being down nine points on day one,” remarked Brousseau.
“I’m not sure it has completely sunken in yet, but I was lucky enough to pull off the win at the Meaford Long Range Steel Challenge. I’m saying luck because there was a ton of talent in our squad and everyone was shooting well. My MasterPiece Arms chassis is by far my favorite chassis on the market, especially with my new custom engraved angled barricade blocks, which were extremely helpful on a few stages, in addition to the RAT adapter,” commented Hipp.

Not only is the MPA BA Competition Chassis winning matches, it’s taking over the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) community. According to a 2017 survey, the MPA BA Chassis is the most popular chassis among the top 100 PRS shooters and experienced a 900 percent increase in use from the year before, which was by far the biggest jump among all chassis systems. MPA BA rifles and chassis are built by precision rifle shooters, for precision rifle shooters. In fact, MPA’s president, Phil Cashin, is an active PRS shooter. He finished in the top 100 this year and qualified for the finale last year. 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.

Hogue Knives Announces New EX-F02 Knives with G10 Handles
Henderson, NV – Hogue Knives is proud to announce the expansion of their USA-made EX-F02 line to now feature G10 handles. “The EX-F02’s light-weight durable design was created specifically with the outdoors-man in mind,” explained Hogue Knives engineer Scott Bruhns. “Manufacturing the handles in G10 material adds to that durability and creates a visually stunning knife.”
G10 is a composite high-pressure fiberglass laminate.It is an optimal material for knife-making because of its strength, excellent insulation properties and chemical resistance. Hogue’s patented G-Mascus® process creates a pattern mimicking the visual characteristics of Damascus steel. In addition, the angular primal texture on the surface of the EX-F02 handle results in a very unique patterning within the Damascus appearance.
The aesthetic enhancements of the EX-F02 have not sacrificed the functionality of the knife. With its large stick tang construction, broad top edge and serrated thumb ramp, the EX-F02 will stand up to the most demanding of challenges. A finger detent and a gentle recess on the tail end result in better leverage in a reverse grip situation. The EX-F02 is offered in both clip point and tanto style blades manufactured from quality 154 CM stainless steel that has been heat treated to RC 57-59, cryogenically treated and finally hand sharpened and honed to a keen edge.
A knife of such dynamic executed design requires a complementary sheath equal to the task. Hogue’s solution was to uniquely design a precisely fitted ambidextrous auto-retention aerospace polymer sheath to constrain this beast of a knife. “We knew we had a winner with the EX-F02 design but refused to settle offering the knife alone,” said Bruhns. “The sheath had to match, if not exceed this knife in star power.
We have created a sheath so unique it needs to be seen to be believed.” With its automatic retention ability to steadfastly lock the knife and its MOLLE compatible mounting capabilities, the sheath is ready when you are.
Hogue’s G10 EX-F02 models are MSRP $159.95 for the tumbled versions and $174.95 for the coated knives. Available in either clip point or tanto blade options, the knife also offers three choices of G10 colors: G-Mascus black, G-Mascus green and G-Mascus dark earth.
Hogue Knives are designed by former Recon Marine and custom knife maker Allen Elishewitz and made in the USA by Hogue Incorporated. All Hogue products are manufactured in family-owned and operated facilities under the direct supervision of the Hogue family.
Hogue Incorporated supports local dealers and encourages customers to purchase Hogue products locally. For more information please call Hogue directly at 1-800-438-4747 or visit http://www.hogueknives.com to find a Hogue dealer near you.

Ritter & Stark GmbH New Sponsor of Guardian Long Range Competition
As part of its sponsorship, Ritter & Stark has donated a gift certificate valued at $3,277 to the prize table.
Feistritz, Austria (September 2017) – Ritter & Stark GmbH, an Austrian-based firearms design and manufacturing company, is proud to announce that it’s signed on as a sponsor of the Guardian Long Range Competition. As part of its sponsorship, Ritter & Stark has donated a gift certificate of 50% off a rifle valued at $3,277 to the prize table. The Ritter & Stark team will be at the final Guardian match of the year to be held September 16, 2017 at Woody’s Hunt & Rifle Club in New Hill, North Carolina. In addition, the Friday before the last Guardian match of the year, R&S will be hosting a demo of the SX-1 MTR for attendees to shoot. Attendees who try the SX-1 will automatically be registered to win a free registration for any 2018 Guardian match, a thank you for coming out and trying the R&S SX-1 MTR.
The Guardian Long Range Competition is a full day precision shooting event, offering competitors the opportunity to test their skills with a rifle and compete. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the competition will go toward reducing the orphan crisis by helping offset the financial cost for parents considering adoption through Bethany Christian Services, America’s largest Christian nonprofit organization.
“We are proud to be sponsors of the Guardian Long Range Competition and glad we have the chance to give a well deserving champion an amazing prize,” said Yakov Trakhman, marketing director of Ritter & Stark.
Ritter & Stark produces the stunning SX-1 MTR rifle, an advanced long-range precision rifle, designed by the world’s best engineers, using state of the art machinery and proprietary techniques. The SX-1 MTR allows the operator to quickly and easily change out calibers between .308 Win, .300 Win Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum while in the field.
In addition to the ease of interchangeability, the barrels come with a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail pre-installed, allowing the operator to pre-sight optics on each barrel, eliminating any need to re-zero the rifle when changing caliber.
One of the secrets to Ritter & Stark’s unprecedented accuracy is its unique barrel production. No other barrel maker in the world manufacturers its barrels like Ritter & Stark. The rifling is done in a CNC-controlled electrochemical machine. This avoids the transmission of thermal effects and mechanical stress to the material. Furthermore, this process allows Ritter & Stark to produce barrels with unique uniformity and within tolerance zones that were not possible in serial production before.
Every rifle is tested at the factory and can achieve 0.5 MOA 3-round groups or better using factory match grade ammunition.

The Bergara Experience Goes the Distance
Bergara Rifles wraps up summer long-distance shooting events featuring the Bergara B14 and Premier Series of rifles.
Lawrenceville, Ga. (September 2017) – The Bergara Experience, by Bergara Rifles, has completed its maiden tour for 2017. Three ranges sponsored the open-to-the-public, long-range shooting events; Woody’s Hunting and Rifle Club in North Carolina, the White Feather Precision Shooting Range in Tennessee, and the final event was held at the Barbour Creek Shooting Academy in Alabama. Both curious and the experienced shooters turned out in all three events to patiently wait for their turn to try the Bergara B14 and Premier Series of rifles. For several shooters, these events were the first time they shot a rifle and most had never experienced long-range shooting before.
“I attended the Bergara event at Barbour Creek Shooting Academy in Eufaula Alabama yesterday. I have to say that the Bergara crew and their host were awesome! I shot the B-14 HMR and I was amazed! My 1st shot was at 400 yards, dead center bullseye! At 600 yards 3 in the deer vitals. Now to 1000 yards, I put 5 of 5 of 5 in the steel. Three (3) were within 6 inches or less of the bullseye. For someone who’s never shot more than a 100 meters at a range I can’t tell you how impressive these rifles are, you’ll have to try one to believe!” Randy Wessinger messaged on the Bergara Experience Facebook.
“It’s one thing to say your rifles are serious long-range precision rifles and to claim accuracy out hundreds of yards in your advertising, but we wanted to prove it,” Ben Fleming, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, for Bergara Rifles explained. “The concept behind the Bergara Experience was to give the public the opportunity to experience long distance shooting, even though they may never shoot these distances again, these shoots show that the performance of these rifles is not just ad-talk, its built-in.”
All of Bergara’s Premier series rifles are shot tested at the factory and every rifle includes the test target. Each of the events gave shooters the chance to ring steel at distances between 440 and 1,000 yards. The Bergara Rifle team extends their gratitude to the three ranges for hosting the events and the team are already in talks with more ranges for the Bergara Experience 2018.
Stay up to date on where the next Bergara Experience will be held at Bergara’s Facebook page or by joining Bergara’s e-newsletter. (http://bit.ly/bergara-e-newsletter)

SKYNAMO AEROSPACE RAPTOR HOVERBIKE
Skynamo Aerospace of Wojnicz Poland sees its Raptor Hoverbike playing an advanced mobility role for the military. According to the company, operating the Hoverbike is like riding a motorcycle. Operator sitting position and its handlebar controls are similar to what you’d see on a motorcycle. Since what goes up must come down, in the event of engine power loss – for example by unnoticed fuel exhaustion – it runs the power generator in reverse mode, operating as an electric motor for driving the propellers. With power from the batteries, the pilot assisted by the PowerGuard system is able to land safely. The Raptor is priced somewhere in the neighborhood of $128,000 (not official).
FRENCH SUPPLIER SAFRAN TO SUPPLY USMC SNIPERS WITH Optics 1’s I-CUGR
Optics 1, Inc. (Safran) announced that its Integrated Compact Ultralight Gun-mounted Rangefinder (I-CUGR) has been selected by the United States Marine Corps (USMC).
The I-CUGR is a small, lightweight, and rugged weapon-mounted laser rangefinder with integrated illumination and aiming lasers that will give USMC the ability to quickly range targets without taking hands off their rifles — providing more accurate first round hits.
Developed as a modular system, the I-CUGR can be used on all types of military Sniper, CQB, or crew-served weapon systems (adaptor required) and can be used with all types of bullet designs and calibers. The simple two-button operation allows for ease of use on the device or with a remote so the shooter’s hands never leave the weapon. The I-CUGR consumes very little power, allowing for extended use, and is ruggedized for military operations.
“We appreciate the opportunity to continue working closely with the U.S. Marine Corps in providing the Marines with superior technology that provides precise and accurate targeting solutions,” said Jose Andrade, Optics 1 Business Development Manager and a retired USMC Sergeant Major. “The selection of the I-CUGR solidifies the confidence in our commitment to providing technologies that are light yet powerful and are critical to the success of the USMC’s mission requirements.”
The I-CUGR has been designed by Optics 1 leveraging proven rangefinder technology from Safran Electronics & Defense. Production will take place in Bedford, New Hampshire at Optics 1. The initial order is for 315 units with deliveries beginning this year.

Tulster IWB Profile Holster For CZ-USA P-10 C
Jenks, Oklahoma (September 2017) – Is the CZ P-10 C better than the Glock 19? Did CZ improve on perfection? We will leave that up to you to decide! Laying the argument aside, the P-10 C is the newcomer in the polymer striker fired pistols division. It’s taken a while for the P-10 C to come to market, but for many CZ fans it’s been worth the wait. From home defense to target shooting, its compact size makes it suitable for concealed carry. While some holsters offered for the Glock 19 may fit the new CZ P-10 C, some will not be fitted properly with enough clearance or appropriate retention. With the excitement of the new firearm, Tulster decided to offer an IWB holster for the CZ brand starting with the CZ-USA P-10 C.
From the ground up, the Profile holster was designed to be an ultra-concealable, minimalistic, appendix carry holster without the drawbacks. Distinct features such as the matte-edge finish and minimal material used facilitate in a comfortable fit providing maximum concealment for concealed carry.
Each AIWB Profile holster is formed to the P-10 for a snug fit with low drag. The adjustable retention along with the inherent positive retention “SNAP” ensures the firearm is secure when holstered.
Removal of extra material between the muzzle and retention screw adds to a layer of comfort without digging into the body or thigh. The trigger guard is intentionally undercut to promote a higher grip on the P-10 C and allow for a magazine release while the firearm is fully holstered.
From the injection molded belt clip to the soft loop option, the cant settings are easily adjustable from 0-15 degrees to allow for a perfect grip on the CZ P-10 C.
This Profile holster can be ordered in many different colors and patterns for either Right or Left handed shooters.
Holster Features:
-
Undercut trigger guard.
-
Works with Quick Clip or Softloop Kit.
-
Adjustable retention.
-
Adjust cant from 0-15 degrees.
-
Full sweat shield.
-
Rounded and matte edges.
-
Minimal material.
