			<description><![CDATA[OK, got a heads up from a member here and THIS is EXACTLY what we've been needing for my dream assault rifle cartridge.<br />
<br />
Link to Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) announcement of patent on injection-molded stainless-steel cartridge cases <a href="https://www.ctc.com/public/newsandmedia/releases.aspx?ID=1463" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
File this under things I wish someone would invent and someone actually did!<br />
<br />
SIG has recognized the strength of stainless steel for their 6.8 NGSW cartridge with a two-piece case consisting of a standard brass body mated to a higher-strength-yet-lighter stainless steel case head unit attached via a locking ring. The downside is the added complexity of this three-piece design.<br />
<br />
Why couldn't we have good ol' steel-case, but use stainless steel instead of the mild steel plus laquer or polymer coating?<br />
<br />
Voilá!<br />

(NYSE: VSTO) (Vista Outdoor), the parent company of 41 renowned brands that design, manufacture and market sporting and outdoor products to consumers around the globe, today announced a definitive agreement to sell its Sporting Products business to Czechoslovak Group a.s. (CSG) for an enterprise value of &#36;1.91 billion in an all-cash transaction subject to customary closing conditions. This transaction represents the next step in Vista Outdoors plan to split the company into separate entities, which was previously announced on May 5, 2022.<br />
<br />
CSG is a leading industrial technology holding company, operating within five strategic business segments, including defense, aerospace, ammunition, mobility and business. CSG is 100% owned and led by Michal Strnad, who has transformed it into a leading Czech industrial group with a strong international footprint. CSG employs more than 10,000 people worldwide and it owns and manages a diverse portfolio of industrial and trade companies across the defense and civil sectors.<br />
<br />
This is an important strategic step for our company in creating value through separating our Outdoor Products and Sporting Products segments, said Gary McArthur, interim CEO of Vista Outdoor. The previously announced plan to separate our businesses has positioned us to execute seamlessly on this transaction, which we believe is the best path to maximize value for our stockholders, while better positioning Sporting Products and Outdoor Products for future success.<br />
<br />
We are confident that CSG is a great home for our leading ammunition brands, said Jason Vanderbrink, CEO of Sporting Products. The company is fully committed to our iconic American brands and expanding our legacy of U.S. manufacturing, support for military and law enforcement customers, and investments in conservation and our hunting and shooting heritage. We are excited to work closely with the CSG team as we enter this next phase and position our brands for long-term success.]]></description>

<br />
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>A worldwide leader in weapons and ammunition manufacturing has plans to expand one of its Arkansas facilities.<br />
<br />
SIG SAUER, one of the leading providers and manufacturers of firearms, announced plans to expand its ammunition manufacturing facility in Jacksonville in a news release on Friday.<br />
<br />
The company stated that it will invest &#36;150 million to expand the Jacksonville facility and it is expected to create 625 new jobs over the next five years.<br />
<br />
As part of the expansion, SIG SAUER will be developing a new 250,000-square-foot building to house parts of its manufacturing processes, the release stated. The company will be investing in component hybrid case manufacturing, primer manufacturing, and load/pack operations to support multiple contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense.<br />
<br />
We are incredibly excited about expanding our ammunition operations here in Jacksonville and building upon years of success in Arkansas. This opportunity has proven itself essential to the growth and sustainment of our ammunition business, and further enforces our commitment to the Arkansas community and workforce, said Ron Cohen, President and CEO of SIG SAUER, Inc.<br />
<br />
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders stated that the expansion would create jobs and reaffirm Arkansas' right to keep and bear arms.<br />
<br />
Here in Arkansas, we love welcoming business expansions almost as much as we love defending the Second Amendment. SIG SAUERs expansion to their facility in Jacksonville does both, creating jobs and reaffirming Arkansans right to keep and bear arms, said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Im proud this company chose Arkansas to plant its roots, and Ill keep cutting taxes, investing in education, and growing our workforce to invite even more jobs and businesses to the Natural State.<br />
<br />
In addition to the U.S. Department of Defense, the manufacturer creates ammunition and ammunition components for, global defense, law enforcement, and consumers, in addition to pistol night sights at the Jacksonville facility, according to the release.<br />
<br />
I am excited for what this expansion will bring to Jacksonville and the region of central Arkansas, said Jacksonville Mayor Jeff Elmore. Their footprint in Jacksonville and impact on our city and state is something that we are extremely grateful for. We look forward to many more successful years of SIG SAUER in Jacksonville and the State of Arkansas.</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I thought this was interesting and would be interested to see if they used their old funded project data from the original 7.62x39 work done in the late 1980s.<br />
<br />
Colt made a 7.62x39 Sporter II back in the day with an A2 upper, 16 barrel.<br />
<br />
This newer SKU looks like this:<br />

			<description><![CDATA[The Columbia River Arms experiment is over and BHW is apparently back to being BHW. They even promise to work on their ecommerce skills! I haven't seen this mentioned here so figured I'd post. Curt has come up with a new form of rifling called CLAW - which is said to be "circumferential" rifling that doesn't distort bullets with the primary application being for copper bullets. Claims are:<br />
<br />
*Increased velocity<br />
*Unrivaled precision<br />
*Long barrel life<br />
*Made for non-compressible projectiles. It works with    <br />
  conventional bullets, but is exceptional for Copper.<br />
*Not sensitive to throat wear<br />
*Very tolerant to bullet length and weight variations<br />

<br />
I have and have had numerous BHWs and they've always shot at or above the price point. I saw it was available in 6.5 Grendel somewhere on the website, but it still isn't the easiest site to navigate and I'm unable to "refind" it.]]></description>

<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>Yeah, if you guys use it - free or paid version, DO NOT update it.<br />
<br />
Essentially, the creator/owner got tossed on the US Sanctions list because he's Russian ... so, app is banned.<br />
