BLACKHAWK! KNOXX Axiom TH stock

BLACKHAWK! TACTICAL

NORFOLK, VA --(AmmoLand.com)- BLACKHAWK! Products Group™, the world leader in manufacturing tactical gear for the military, law enforcement, industrial security and outdoor markets has added the performance driven feature of a thumbhole stock to two new KNOXX Stocks; the KNOXX Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock (patent pending) and the KNOXX Talon Thumbhole Stock.

The new BLACKHAWK! Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock combines the award winning design of the Axiom Rifle stock with the ergonomic pistol-grip style thumbhole stock for improved accuracy, quicker target acquisition, steady firearm control and the ability to comfortably use the rifle in a variety of shooting positions.

Using the new Two-Stage dual KNOXX recoil compensating systems, the Axiom TH has the ability to reduce felt recoil of even the most potent rifle rounds by up to 85%.

The Axiom TH stock is made using durable composite and alloy construction for years of rugged use for sport shooters and hunters. For a customizable fit, the stock comes with interchangeable rubber grip inserts that adjust the overall size of the pistol grip.

The barrel channel is a full-float that will fit any barrel diameter. Aluminum pillars provide added stability and strength. The unique design of the stock cuts muzzle rise and the traditional comb design is made for comfort and consistent target acquisition. The precision receiver is compatible with bi-pods. A 14-cubic inch rear storage compartment is conveniently located in the butt of the stock for small items.

The Axiom TH Thumbhole Rifle Stock is available in black polymer or universal camo for the Remington 700 BDL – short and long action, and the Howa 1500/Weatherby Vanguard BDL for short and long action. MSRP for the black polymer is $269.99 and $299.99 for the universal camo.

The BLACKHAWK! KNOXX Talon Thumbhole Stock is the engineered fusion of the patented KNOXX recoil technology, the ergonomic control of a pistol grip stock and the time tested features of a traditional stock.

Featuring KNOXX’s dual recoil compensation system it eliminates harsh recoil with all loads and eliminates shoulder fatigue and related recoil injuries. The Talon Thumbhole Stock is made from durable polymer and alloy construction that features a unique design that cuts muzzle rise, getting the gun back on target faster. The thumbhole design allows sport shooters and hunters greater comfort, increased accuracy and steady firearm control in many shooting positions from the range to the field. Interchangeable rubber grip inserts allow the individual shooter to adjust the overall size of the grip for a custom fit. A convenient rear storage compartment of 14-cubic inches allows small items to be kept safely and securely.

The KNOXX Talon Thumbhole Stock is available in black polymer and universal camo for Remington 870 12 and 20 gauge and pump/semi-rifles, Mossberg 12 gauge pump varieties and Winchester 1300 12 and 20 gauges. MSRP is $144.99 for the black polymer stock and $169.99 for the universal camo stock.

Monty Crain (right) one of Brownells GunTechs demonstrates an alternative finish technique to a gunsmithing school student

Brownells.com

Montezuma, Iowa --(AmmoLand.com)- During 2009, the members of Brownells GunTech Staff took time away from answering customer questions to pass along their knowledge in various areas of the gunsmithing trade. Taking turns, all members of the group taught classes at several gunsmithing schools across the country.

According to Brownells CEO, Frank Brownell, “We’ve always believed that sharing information freely will make the gunsmithing profession stronger. It’s an honor to be able to send our guys out to share what they know. Our GunTechs have helped develop the products and processes they teach about, they know ‘how-to’ better than anyone.”

Almost 160 students attended 10 different classes at schools including Montgomery Tech, Trinidad State Junior College, Murray State College, Wabash Community College and Pennsylvania Gunsmithing School. Classes covered Alternate Finishes, Custom Bluing, AR-15/M16 Maintenance and Repair, Gunstock Refinishing and 1911 Building.

In addition to sending their GunTechs on the road, Brownells also hosted a weeklong series of classes on the Remington 870 and 700, Colt M16/AR-15 and 1911, plus a one day Glock Armorer Class – all taught by factory experts – at their Montezuma, Iowa facility.

Brownells GunTechs Go On The Road To Teach Gunsmithing Students

Frank B - Brownells.com

Montezuma, Iowa --(AmmoLand.com)- We have just added a super new “filing & saving” system to the web site. It’s called the “Saved Cart“, and its whole purpose is to make running your shop a whole lot easier for you.

What this neat program does is allows you save orders electronically in the absolutely best and most perfect filing system for you because you set it up to fit the way you look at your world.

You quite literally can now save your shopping cart to any folder you want to and can put any name on that cart you want to.

Brownells Saved Cart is Back

This makes the possibilities limitless!

For instance, if you’re working on a 1911 for a customer named Bill Jones, you can establish a folder named “1911 Projects”. Within this folder create a saved cart for “Bill Jones”. As Bill’s project continues to grow you just add them to “Bill Jones” saved cart until you are ready to place the order. It makes project management and tracking very easy.

Or, if Bill Jones is a customer who has a lot of guns you make an entire folder for Bill Jones. Then you’d label this particular project, “.45 1911″ and so on as additional items are purchased for Bill Jones’s. If his next project is mounting a scope, you can put the items you bought for that project into the Bill Jones folder, but label this cart “Scope mount on Rem. 700, .243 cal”. Thus keeping all of Bill Jones projects together. Another really great feature of this system is that you can write yourself notes on the project you’re working on and save them for future reference. A fantastic way to keep track of your various jobs and projects.

Because of the complete flexibility of the new system, you can literally set it up any way you like. By the kind of project (rebarrel .45); by the name of the customer (Bill Jones); by the day date, or month date (October 2009); by the items you’ve ordered (Leupold Rings/Bases); etc., etc., etc. It doesn’t matter if you’re left brained or right brained, since you’re doing the labeling and you’ve put the carts into the folders, they are going to be where you think they should be. You just don’t have to conform to any body else’s ideas on filing!

What’s more, for those of you who had “Save(d) Carts” in Brownells’ old website before the upgrade in June to this new one, we have brought all those back in so you can access them and decide how you want to file them.

Check out our tutorial at brownells.com/help for a little more information on how it works.

As I sit here writing this, my mind goes into grid-lock thinking of all the possible ways I could set it up for me so I could find things I want to save. I had lots of fun testing it on the “Beta” site with our Web Master trying to make it crash or spin out of control. The old “Save Cart” was mighty popular, and we’ve heard from lots of you about getting it back. Well it is back…but on steroids. Gonna be a really huge winner for you. Find it and give it a try. I guarantee you’re going to love it!!

Montezuma, Iowa --(AmmoLand.com)-Brownells, the Montezuma, Iowa-based gunsmith supply business proudly announces that 21 of its products have been selected by the American Pistolsmiths Guild to receive their coveted Seal of Approval.

The products, ranging from Brownells 1911 Auto Slide Fitting Set (#080-745-000) to the complete Smith & Wesson Armorer’s Service Kit (#080-722-010) were all submitted to the Guild for approval and met the rigorous standards set by the organization for quality.

Company CEO Frank Brownell told us, “The Seal fits exactly with the Guild’s mission of increasing professionalism in the industry. We’re just so honored that a number of our products earned the Seal. I’m sure Jim Clark Sr. would be pleased to see the organization he founded taking such a positive step forward.”

Brownells Awarded Pistolsmith Guild Seal

The American Pistolsmiths Guild established rigid standards for quality and lasting value, which all its members must meet and maintain, over 30 years ago. At a recent annual meeting, members realized no standards as strict as those of Guild members existed in the firearms and related industries.

As a result, members voted to establish a team to evaluate and test products against quality and functional standards as stringent as the Guild sets for membership. All products submitted for consideration must be of domestic manufacture.

Those passing the team evaluation will gain an official American Pistolsmiths Guild Seal of Approval. The Seal is not awarded in perpetuity. At pre-established intervals, the product must be resubmitted for a reevaluation. A decrease in quality will be cause to revoke any use of the Seal in association with the product. For further information on the Pistolsmiths Guild and the Guild Seal of Approval, e-mail tenring@texas.net

MPA Side-Cocking Mechanism for MAC-10 Pistols

MasterPiece Arms

BRASELTON, GA –-(AmmoLand.com)- MasterPiece Arms, the nation’s only true MAC-10 manufacturer, is known for their innovative alterations to the traditional MAC-10. MPA has taken the simplicity of the firearm’s function to a new level of versatility with the implementation of a side-cocking mechanism.

The placement of the cocking handle has been an issue for some with the MAC-10. Traditionally sitting on top of the barrel, the handle can cause an obstruction of view through the gun’s sights for some shooters. MasterPiece Arms saw this as a creative challenge and emerged with a new design for the cocking mechanism, the side-cocker.

Placing the cocking handle on the side of the gun removes any obstruction from the line of sight on top of the barrel. Additionally, MPA techs have placed a scope mount on the vacant space atop the barrel. With the ability to add your own Optics, your MAC-10 becomes customized to your needs to give you the best results and the maximum accuracy available.

About:
MasterPiece Arms uses state of the art CNC machining, turning, laser cutting and bending in its manufacturing process. MPA puts more than a year and a half into engineering, testing and re-testing its weapons to provide customers with one of the most enjoyable guns available. With versatile uses such as protection, hunting, tactical or novelty interests, MPA products are one of a kind and backed by a lifetime warranty for original owners.

Mako Group Tactical Folding Butt Stock

Makosecurity.com

FARMINGDALE, NY –-(AmmoLand.com)- The Mako Group, a leader in marketing and distributing weapons accessories, announces our new line of Remington and Mossberg shotgun stocks. All three types of unique stocks, (1) folding, (2) folding collapsible and (3) shock absorber collapsible, are solutions to the market’s numerous requests. Each stock is designed to be very tough and robust, with superior features not found anywhere today!

• Tactical Folding Buttstock with an Embedded Adjustable Cheek Piece (Remington 870 – UAS870; Mossberg 500/590 – UAS500. MSRP $160.00). This is a completely new innovative, ground-breaking design for rifle stocks! The folding joint can be mounted to fold on either the left or right side, with clearance for trigger use. To fold the stock, simply push the button and a spring locks the stock in the folded position. To unfold, just pull on the stock. In addition, the stock has a slim and low profile, and the rubber buttplate reduces recoil and slippage.
• AR15/M4-style Folding and Collapsible Buttstock (Remington 870 – AGRF870-FK; Mossberg 500/590 – AGMF500-FK. MSRP $207.70). This product includes The Mako Group’s best-selling GLR16 buttstock which folds (as described above), has 5-collapsible positions, comes with an M4-style aluminum buffer tube, and includes two battery-storage compartments – one in the GLR16 and one in the pistol grip.
• AR15/M4-style Collapsible Buttstock with Shock Absorber (Remington 870 – AGR870-FKSB; Mossberg 500/590 – AGM500-FKSB. MSRP $255.00). This product also includes The Mako Group’s best-selling GLR16 buttstock (as described above) and has a unique, one-of-a-kind, shock-absorber system which reduces the actual recoil. Combined with a 5-position collapsible stock – the product is the only one of its type and price point in the market place today!

All three product designs include a pistol grip, which is made from composite materials, with a rock-solid one-piece ergonomic design and special non-slip texturing. The pistol grip allows a natural fighting stance hold on the shotgun and is slightly angled to counter recoil. In addition, there is improved muzzle control performance during fire and a storage compartment for batteries or a cleaning kit. No gunsmithing is required.

Also available are folding buttstocks with adjustable cheek pieces for the AK-47/74 and VZ-58 in polymer (UAS-AKP and UAS-VZP) or metal (UAS-AK and UAS-VZ) versions.

All of these stocks are manufactured by FAB Defense in Israel.

“We are very excited about our new shotgun stocks!” says Addy Sandler, The Mako Group’s CEO. “For the past year or two we constantly received inquiries for (1) recoil-reducing solutions, and (2) a way to fold the shotgun stock to a more compact size. The Mako Group’s new shotgun stocks are one-of-a-kind solutions to provide our customers with these much-requested capabilities.”

ATI’s Adjustable Hunting Stock

ATI Gun Stocks

Milwaukee, WI --(AmmoLand.com)- After one year of new ownership under John Chvala and Eric Pfleger, Advanced Technology International (ATI), has developed and announced a new generation of shotgun hunting stock and forend that transitions your gun into a universal and versatile hunting tool.

ATI’s New Adjustable Hunting Stock adjusts in four positions from 12-3/8” to 14-3/8” with one easy push of a button, making the adjustment quick for your changing length of pull due to extra clothing during those winter months in the field. Hunters also may prefer a shorter length of pull during turkey season when you’re setting up on that gobbling tom.

Another big advantage to this system is that it enables youth to have a properly fitted gun, making their hunting experience much more rewarding.

The incorporated neoprene cheek rest and recoil reducing buttpad with non-slip surface, offers added comfort when shooting. Interchangeable grips allow you to put your personal touch on your stock.

The forend has been ergonomically tailored with a non-slip grip for added confidence.

This new DuPont Reinforced Polymer shotgun stock and forend fits the 12 and 20 gauge Remington 870, Maverick 88, Winchester 1200/1300 and Mossberg 500/590 models.

The adjustable Hunting Stock and Forend is weather proof, has a limited lifetime warranty and is available in Matte Black, Camouflage and ATI’s exclusive DyeHard™ Camo finishes.

Troy Industries

West Springfield, Ma --(AmmoLand.com)-Advanced design, superior sighting and battle-ready toughness define Troy Industries’ new Di-Optic Aperture (DOA) sights. The Di-Optic flip-type sights represent the latest innovation from West Springfield, Massachusetts-based Troy Industries, a top supplier of small arms accessories and full weapons upgrades.

Troy Industrie Di-Optic Aperture (DOA) Sight

The DOA’s key design strength lies in its rhombus-shaped aperture, which centers the eye on the front post instantly and effortlessly. In a heartbeat, the shooter zeroes on the target and is ready to fire. Circular apertures simply cannot produce this effect. The DOA’s Optics, coupled with Troy Industries’ legendary battle-ready toughness, provide a dramatic advance in shooting speed, accuracy and reliability.

“We take a great deal of pride in designing products that are combat ready,” said Stephen P. Troy, founder & CEO of Troy Industries. “The new DOA sights are tough enough for any environment and the improvement in acquisition speed and accuracy is phenomenal.”

Another strength of the Di-Optic Aperture sights is versatility. The sights offer two aperture settings, one for up to 300 meters and a second for up to 550 meters. The sights flip up easily and lock solidly into place. They fold out of the way quickly with the push of a button. This versatility and ease of use make the Di-Optic ideal for military, law enforcement and home defense applications.

Troy Industries Di-Optic Aperture sights have been extensively field-tested and are engineered to exceed military specs. Troy’s competitors cannot match the DOA’s combination of advanced design and ruggedness, which is why Troy Industries expects the sights to impact the market in a big way.

“Our customers in law enforcement, the military, all types of shooters are as excited about these sights as we are,” Troy said. “We spent a lot of time making sure we got it right and we’re thrilled to get the DOA’s on the market.”

The Di-Optic Aperture sights will be available through the Troy Industries website: http://store.troyind.com/ and through a number of affiliated retailers.

Troy Industries Di-Optic Aperture Sights Set To Score A Direct Hit

Beretta USA

ACCOKEEK, MD --(AmmoLand.com)- Beretta U.S.A. Corp. announced today that it is launching three major programs intended to significantly enhance its customer service program.

The first part of the programs is the opening of regional Beretta service centers throughout the United States. Beretta U.S.A. has, for decades, used Bolsa Gunsmithing in California as a Gunsmithing and Warranty Service Center. Beretta U.S.A. has also now opened Gunsmithing Limited in Connecticut, Midwest Gun Works in Missouri and Briley in Houston, Texas as Beretta authorized service centers.

Each regional service center had to pass stringent criteria before it was selected by Beretta U.S.A.

“By establishing four regional service centers in various parts of the United States, in addition to our customer service center at the Beretta U.S.A. factory in Accokeek, Maryland, we hope to provide customers with quick turnaround, lower shipping costs and local expertise to support their Beretta, Sako and Tikka products,” noted Silven Gantt, Director of Customer Service, Defense and Commercial for Beretta U.S.A.

The second Beretta U.S.A. program is a partnership with Brownell’s to provide spare gun part sales, storage and distribution for customers throughout the U.S.

“Brownell’s has a well-deserved national reputation as an efficient, prompt and effective part supplier and is widely recognized as the world’s largest supplier of firearm accessories, gun parts and gunsmithing tools,” commented Gantt. “A partnership between Brownell’s and Beretta U.S.A. was a logical step in our mutual desire to provide state-of-the-art customer service.”

Finally, Beretta U.S.A. has launched a new advanced customer service website (www.berettasupport.com) that offers customers 24-hour a day, 7-day a week, 365 day a year access to their service information, including order status, service status, warranty registration, service center locations, dealer locations, product schematics, owner’s manuals and an interactive customer support agent to answer questions.

“We launched this website to give our customers quick and convenient information without the limitation of having to use the telephone or contact us only during standard business hours, “Gantt explained. “Our customers are now literally one click away from the service information that they need.”

Brownells Fifth 1911 Handgun Catalog

Frank B - Brownells.com

Brownells.com - -(AmmoLand.com)-We’ve been doing some “reality checks” around here last week, trying to get a handle on how our industry is doing and how we need to prepare for the upcoming year.

As we look back, it would seem that most all of us in the industry have had a fantastic run of business. Our industry has been recognized by shooters, non-shooters and even the economic whiz-kids on Wall Street, as one of the very few bright spots during this economic downturn.

You probably saw it in the huge volume of sales starting right at the election in November, 2008, peaking somewhere around Easter, 2009 and then sliding back closer to the traditional summer slow-down we always see.

In doing our analysis here, we asked ourselves the following three questions and tried to come up with answers. You might want to stop a moment and with a fresh cup of coffee, ask yourself these questions about your business and how you feel about your future.

1. Is this “Obama Gun Sale Bubble” over?
2. Is demand for firearms and ammunition coming down to the standard demand curve for our business?
3. What can we do for the remainder of 2009 and all of 2010 to match or beat those high sales in the “Bubble” months of 2008-09?

We came up with some answers, which I’ll pass along to you, but they really are only our opinions from our viewpoint. Hopefully you will find something in here which will be beneficial to you in your business.

We believe the insane demand level for tactical firearms is over and future demands for these products will come back down to the industry norms. Keep in mind, though, there have been a huge number of non-traditional firearms buyers making purchases of AR-15’s. So there are a lot of customers out there who will still want to accessorize and modify one of the world’s most versatile and popular platforms. Definitely still a market for AR-15 “stuff”, but a much softer one for the basic platform itself.

The conceal carry/home defense market, however, is starting to heat up and right now is the beginning of a “short boom”, not as significant as tactical rifles, but one nonetheless. We don’t know how much leg this market can get under it or how long it might run. It is getting lots of play right now in the gun press, so take a look at how you can get into it modestly and watch it closely.

We strongly believe the reloading and ammo markets are still underserved and have strong growth ahead of them. It will take longer to get these markets back to a norm because the primer shortage. The deep fluctuations/price increases in the metals markets from which most of these ammo components are made – lead, copper, brass has an impact on availability and prices. Our industry’s share of these markets is not even a wrinkle, and we have neither control nor any leverage we can bring into play. We just have to wait for the metals markets to settle out.

Shotgun and hunting markets did not seem to have the favorable run-up as the tactical weapons market. From what we think we see, there might be some returning strength. It looks like reservations for hunts have still to recover. We definitely expect those to slowly come back, but quite possibly not until folks are more comfortable the economy has settled down and a general recovery is underway. Hunts are discretionary, more easily put off.

For net results for 2009, don’t focus too much on beating year-over-year numbers. Our last year was way out of the norm. Instead focus on the year’s sales number. With the history we’ve had, it would actually be acceptable to have a 0% growth year in 2010 – it all depends when your fiscal year ends and where the “Obama Bubble” fell. Sometimes it’s just nice to have survived and to be able to move on!

CMMG MOD4 SA Piston Ar15 Rifle .223/5.56

AimSurplus Guns & Ammunition

Middletown, OH - -(AmmoLand.com)- New CMMG MOD4 SA .223/5.56 Gas Piston Rifles. Gas Piston systems operate cleaner then the direct gas impingement operating systems. With the piston system, the propellant gases that are being diverted by the gas block into the operating system, are instead vented at the gas block.

Since the fouling from the gas system is being vented, the action it stays cooler and cleaner. This system is designed around short stroke piston operation. The piston pushes the anti tilt one piece carrier, which unlocks the bolt and allows the piston to return while the bolt carrier continues to cycle independently. Item#CMMG-FM4LEPII

The Mako Group Announces Colt 1911 Handgrips With Magazine Funnel

Extreme Shock Ammunition

CLINTWOOD, VA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Extreme Shock Ammunition™, known for producing the world’s most advanced ammunition, introduces two new products, the Extreme Shock GripWell™ and the Extreme Shock Lightwell™.

These two products are built for use with an M4 or AR-15 to offer better grip, allow for faster reloads, improve stance for CQB and protect the gun itself.

Extreme Shock GripWell

The Magwell allows the operator to use the magazine well as a grip and creates a magazine funnel to reduce reload time. It weighs only 110 grams and is independent of the barrel length so it can be interchanged between full length and carbine length weapons. The Magwell design was developed to give the operator the preferred tight in elbow grip when holding the weapon. It will also allow the use of double mags. The “Mag Cinch” can be used by removing the top strap. Other manufacturer’s magazine clips can be used as well.

The Lightwell has all the advantages of the Magwell with the added ability to have a weapons light mounted on the gun without the need for a heavy and expensive rail system. The Lightwell design allows for the light to be mounted on either the left hand or right hand side.

The Magwell and the Lightwell allow for cleaning of the weapon without removal.

To learn more about the full range of products offered from Extreme Shock Ammunition, please visit www.extremeshockusa.net, call Extreme Shock USA at (276) 926-6772

Stark Equipment AR15 SE-2 Sling Grip

Stark Equipment

Manchester, NH - Stark Equipment has begun shipping their latest product, the SE-2 Sling Grip for AR-15 style rifles.

The SE-2 is the first AR-15 pistol grip to be integrated with an ambidextrous sling mount.

The SE-2 is available in two versions. The Hook Mount provides a loop compatible with most common sling hooks; The Swivel Mount allows the attachment of push-button sling swivels.

The SE-2’s sling mount is located above the hand and below the buffer tube, with a low profile design that stays out of the way of even fully collapsed M4-style stocks. When added to AR pistols, the SE-2 provides excellent one-handed control while providing sling attachment that doesn’t clutter up the receiver extension.

Extensive strength testing has been performed on the SE-2 to ensure a reliable attachment point that you can depend on.

Just like the original SE-1 Pistol Grip, the design of the SE-2 enhances weapon ergonomics and functionality, bringing M16, M4 and AR-15 style weapons to a higher level of control and comfort. The grip has been designed for a wide range of hand sizes and shooting demands. Features include a smooth integral trigger guard to increase comfort, textured surface for added grip and storage for batteries or other equipment.

Brownells Spray-On Paint Video Series

STI International Guns

Georgetown, TX - -(AmmoLand.com)- After that eight piece run of 6″ guns that we built to benefit the USPSA women’s program and called the “Infinite”, some folks apparently got their tongues tangled in the pronunciation and created some confusion in the market place. Not wanting to be confused with anybody else, we’ve dropped the use of that name.

We’ve decided to call the 5″ gun that evolved from that 6″ gun the “Apeiro”, pronounced “Apero”. It’s got a nice ring to it and I’m told by the Greeks that it means “something without end”. With our warrantee, I’d consider it appropriate. We’ve decided, too, that we’ll also substitute any other Schuemann 5″ ramped (Wilson/Nowlin/STI) barrel that will accept a front sight. ALL normal calibers are available. We should have pictures and specs on the website soon but here’s the main thrust of the press announcement:

“The Apeiro 2011 couples STI’s patented receiver with all the most desirable accessories in a factory firearm to produce a pistol that is as beautiful as it is reliable. The controls are STI International’s stainless steel ambidextrous thumb safeties and knuckle relief high-rise beavertail grip safety.

The full length stainless steel Tri-top bar stock slide features STI’s unique saber tooth rear cocking serrations and is cut to match the Schuemann barrel. The barrel is a 5.0″ fully ramped, fully supported “island” bull barrel, with the sight milled in to allow faster recovery to point of aim.

This excellent firearm comes standard with an STI square hammer, patented STI trigger system, STI S-7 sear, and titanium strut for smooth, reliable function. The Apeiro 2011 has custom engravings on the polished sides of the (blued) stainless steel slide, stainless steel magwell, STI adjustable rear sight, Dawson fiber optic front sight, and a blued frame. Available in 9×19, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP.”

As an offshoot from above, you guys are certainly coming up with some original ideas for us to run through the Custom Shop. With the ideas that we’re seeing coming through, the thought has occurred to our Marketing Manager (Pauletta S.) and her staff that we should incorporate some of them into a limited run of “STI 20th Anniversary” pistols. What do you think, both of the idea of an “Anniversary” edition and of it being a limited run? What would YOU like to see it be?

We’re also beginning to get requests that we bring back our .22LR rifle, except not as “high end” this time. Just a good quality, moderately priced item. With the cost of ammunition these days, it may make some sense. Opinions?

Much to our surprise, the “original” size aluminum grip is out selling the “slim line” model by about two to one. I would sure have bet the other way. What do you guys think about us doing a “2011 Single Stack” aluminum grip?

Further good news for you: I’m asking the Sales Department to start quoting a 6-7 week lead time at this point. That means we’ve shortened it by seven weeks already this year (for most products). Any large order could change that at any time so you may want to take advantage of it while you can.

On the thought about doing a “knockoff” of Taurus’s “Judge” except in a .410/.22LR version: I bought a couple of (personal) “Judges” for R&D. THEN I found some neat little cylinder inserts that accepted .22LR at Brownell’s. I don’t think we’re gonna’ try and reinvent the wheel. That little “three-fer” (.45LC/.410/.22LR) is a fun, fun package at a fun, fun price point!

We are still taking orders for the “Competition” and “Tactical” rifles for August delivery and beyond. The competition models are outselling the tactical models by about 50%.

It has been brought to my attention that I am remiss in reporting the “Gun Used” statistics from the 2008 USPSA National Championships. Since the 2009 Nationals are just a couple months away, I better get it into this one. In the “Limited 10″ Division where almost anybody can play, we had about 49% of the guns being shot. Glock was second with about a third of that. In the “Limited” Division, we did much better with about 59% of the shooters using STI guns. The folks in second also had only about 1/3 that number. In the “Open” Division, it was a runaway. STI over 71%, second place under 20%. Winners have gone with winners again. Obviously, our outlay under the “Contingency Program” has gone up for another year in a row. Keep tapping us! It’s a pleasure working with you.

Have ya’ll noticed the information that we’ve been uploading to YouTube lately? If you’ll go to the FAQ page, you’ll find several “How to’s” on the disassembly of guns, RecoilMasters, etc. Under “What’s New” you should find some product videos. We just got these up recently and have had over 12,000 hits already.

The ESOP Committee has asked me to drop a bug in your ear about the annual company get together. They truly appreciated the donations you folks made to their door prize stash last year and are asking if you are willing to donate again? Chris chris@stiguns.com would be your contact point.

Sell a bunch. Have fun. Do good. Not necessarily in that order!

STI International, Inc. – SkinnErgram #117

Frank B - Brownells.com

Brownells.com - -(AmmoLand.com)- Our newest, latest and greatest – Catalog #62 – is printed and ready to go into the mail the first or second week of August. You should get it about a week later. This one is bigger than our last at 592 pages, has more’n a thousand new products, and we’ve tweaked our product categorization program to make it even better.

Frankly, we’re awfully pleased with this new Big Book . . . seems we keep saying that every year, but they really do get better and better. However, if print media isn’t your bag anymore and you’ve really gotten into the “net”, we’ve got the new website for you to use and enjoy – brownells.com – which is getting rave reviews and lots of activity. Give it a look – between the web and the catalog, we’ve tried to make it wondrously easy for you to pick out the items you want and get them on order to you.

Now to something you really need to do… work on your strategic plan. This is a particularly interesting time in our industry. We all know and acknowledge that the boom we are seeing is a classic “bubble”, with prices driven up on particular guns or shooting platforms and ammunition caused by shortages. These are real shortages, but the manufactures at all levels, from raw goods through gun and ammo factories are not making major capital investments in new manufacturing equipment. They too know this bubble will burst and they will be left with excessive capacity for which they have no need, paid for with borrowed money. No cash stream from the expenditure, but still have to pay for the equipment. Frankly, to stay in business in the long view, these folks have to look at their world this way.

So where does all this turmoil find you? Have you gotten your business strategic plan in place? Obviously the factories do. But do you know what you’re going to be doing after the inevitable bursting of the bubble? You really need to stop and take a good look at your business’s future and your personal future. Preparing for this “future” ahead of time is called your business strategy. It can be overwhelming; for sure it’s going to be challenging to think about, much less create. To help put your mind in the right groove; “Strategy” is defined as “a plan of action to achieve a particular goal.” The word has its roots in the ancient Greek word strategos, which is a military term used to describe the art of a general. Kind of cool, when you think about it! You’ve got to think of yourself as a general as you create and manage the strategy to reach our goals for our business and our life.

To create this strategy for your business, the first thing to do is sit down and make a list of what it is you want to accomplish – what are the most important things to you and how do you want to make them happen? These are your goals. The stuff you’re aiming to have happen. This is not the time to take on the rebuilding of the world order. Start small and take some time to work on your list.

Secondly, you should also think about the things that you don’t want to do or you don’t want to happen. Not going broke is a pretty good goal, for instance. Once you have your do’s and don’ts listed, it becomes much easier to continue to narrow down your initial plan and start adding new exciting ideas, and get rid of the not so good ones.

OK, so here’s the order of things. Write down your goals. “My business is going to Survive” might be one to start with. Then you start on the Strategy to make sure you reach your goal. You really have two simple choices – 1) You can downsize as your market shrinks and work hard to contain costs. 2) You can diversify your product line or service areas and work to bring in customers.

Stretch your thinking. Think carefully about this and write it down. These goals are what you’ll base your strategic plan on. Everything you write down in the strategic plan column should directly correlate to the eventual success of your main goal. For instance, you’ve decided you want to open a gun shop. You have the tools and the skills necessary to do it. That becomes a goal. But, you need to define that goal. What is your goal for the next five years? If you want this to be a full-time job or even a part-time job, then make that your goal.

Part of your strategy for reaching this should be:

1. What will distinguish my work from someone else’s and how do I create a niche for myself?
2. How do I find and get customers through the door?
3. Where should I advertise to find those customers?
4. Are there certain sub-categories of gunsmithing that I’m really good at which my customers are looking for?
5. Also, think about your location. Are you where your customers expect to find your shop? Is it the neighborhood where potential customers will probably be coming on other business and swing by?

Do a lot of leg work and do your research thoroughly – discover what will make you unique and bring value to your customer and make that a highly important part of your overall goal.

Goal setting and Strategy is all about understanding who you are and what you do. It’s who you want to become and it’s your plan for reaching the goals that you’ve set for yourself. Remember however, that it’s also who you don’t want to be. A good goal will direct your strategies, which will then create boundaries around your goals. And with the right goals and the right strategies you can keep yourself completely focused on moving ahead and being successful – which is the goal for all of us!!

Warne Scope Mounts

TUALATIN, Oregon — -(AmmoLand.com)- Warne Manufacturing, known for the manufacturing of premium steel scope rings and bases as well as OEM components and assemblies for other companies, today announces the acquisition of the aluminum products manufacturing facility Bold Ideas.

Bold Ideas (BI) is an Oregon based manufacturer that caters to the shooting sports, aviation, motorcycle and automotive industries. The core competency at BI is innovative design, prototyping and development with the capacity to manufacture at production levels from one to infinity while still staying competitive.

The acquisition of BI by Warne is a strategic move to aid Warne in achieving ultra fast prototyping and development of mounting systems and to expand Warne’s ability to manufacture aluminum components more efficiently. BI will also provide capacity to manufacture these items as well as a wide variety of other components for Warne.

Warne manufacturers and distributes innovative scope mounts, rings and bases as well as providing quick turn around in development of custom mounting solutions. Previously limited to mostly steel components, the acquisition will allow Warne to provide lighter weight aluminum products and increase production yet maintain their reputation for quality, durability and reliability.

Warne began operations in 1990 and will soon celebrate its 20th anniversary. The company was acquired by Charles F. Lake in 2001 and in 2005, needing to expand manufacturing facilities, was moved to its present location in Tualatin, Oregon.

Dave Wilcox, previously General Manager for Warne has been promoted to Vice President of both Warne and BI. “Acquiring the manufacturing capabilities of Bold Ideas will allow us to do some really exciting things” said Wilcox. “I see great potential for the development of products where the strength and accompanying weight of steel simply is not necessary. We’re really looking forward to the possibilities of new and lighter products we couldn’t do before. We look at this acquisition as sort of a marriage because all previous management, employees and owners of both companies were retained, thus creating great potential and possibilities.”

About:
For more information about Warne Manufacturing or inquiry regarding custom or OEM products, contact Dave Wilcox at (503) 657-5590, email dave@warnescopemounts.com or visit the web at www.warnescopemounts.com.

Warne Scopes Mounts Announces Purchase of Bold Ideas

AR-15/16 M4 carbine Parts

Brownells.com

Brownells.com - -(AmmoLand.com)- There’s a bit of relief for the shortage of AR-15 barrels, at least at Brownells. The Iowa-based supplier of gunsmithing tools and firearm accessories has just released their own, 16″ M-4-style barrel for the popular rifle.

The AR-15/M16/M4 Carbine Barrel (#080-000-681) is made of 4140 chrome moly steel, hardened to Rc 26-33 and stress relieved. It’s 16″ long with a 1 in 7 twist and ½”-28 threads for a flash hider. M4 feed ramps provide reliable feeding into the 5.56 NATO chamber. A dark gray, Parkerized finish helps prevent rust.

“Brownells is committed to stocking the parts our customers need. When we see people having trouble getting a certain product, we work with our existing suppliers, or find new sources, to make those parts available,” said company President Pete Brownell.

No front sight housing/gas block or flash hider/muzzle brake is supplied. That lets the user select the exact components they want without paying for parts that will only end up in a drawer full of other unused pieces.

ZERO - G .22 RIMFIRE BARREL

Apex Tactical Specialties

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. – -(AmmoLand.com)- Custom gunsmith Randy Lee, best known for his revolutionary work on revolver double-action triggers, announces the addition of the new “Zero-G” .22 Rimfire barrel to his line of quality Apex products.

The new “Zero-G” Rimfire barrel will debut in competition during the Open Rimfire Pistol match at the 2009 Steel Challenge World Speed Shooting Championships being held in Piru, Calif. on August 13.

The “Zero-G” Rimfire barrel is made from lightweight (less than 5 oz.), durable high-carbon stainless steel and is specifically designed for the S&W Model 617 .22 LR revolver outfitted with electro-Optics.

“This fluted barrel design offers revolver competitors the advantage of lightening fast acceleration and deceleration by relocating the center of gravity to a point closer to the shooter’s hands,” explained Lee. “This results in a significant improvement in target engagement split time without compromising accuracy.”

ONALASKA, Wis. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Gunslick®, known for its specialized gun cleaning solutions and easy-to-use tools, is adding “Pro” to its name, packaging and marketing materials to better reflect the true strength and consumer perception of the brand.

This running change will be accompanied by exciting new products and seen on shelf beginning spring of 2009.

New positioning plays to product strength
Shooters and hunters seeking gun cleaning equipment will notice an updated logo, packaging and advertising from Gunslick Pro in the coming year. The product line will continue to feature advanced chemicals and precision gun care tools that help improve firearm accuracy and overall function—the true strength of the product line.

Feedback from the field drove update
According to Brand Manger Raluca Simian, the brand update was driven by input from the industry: “Since we strategically placed Gunslick on its own in the marketplace four years ago we’ve learned a lot from the field. We take input from our sales force and customers seriously and what we heard from them is that Gunslick is the brand customers turn to for their precision gun care needs.”

Chemicals prove superior in testing
According to independent lab testing performed at Petro-Lubricant Testing Laboratories, Inc. in Lafayette, NJ, Gunslick Pro chemicals Gun-Foam, Gun-Seal and Ultra-Lube™ outperformed the competition in corrosion protection and wear resistance when subjected to the harshest testing conditions.
