The Watchman rifle is a duty-ready workhorse

Broken Arrow, Oklahoma – December 13, 2018 — RISE Armament, a premier manufacturer and supplier of AR firearms and components is pleased to introduce the all-new WatchmanTM rifle. This firearm is set to be the headliner of RISE Armament’s new Law Enforcement (LE) Division — RISE LE.

Motivated by the July 7, 2016, Dallas police ambush, RISE Armament set out to ensure that no police officer is ever outgunned by a criminal. RISE made it their mission to develop a supremely accurate, highly dependable rifle that’s affordable on a law enforcement budget. The Watchman is that rifle.

“It’s important to us for officers to be equipped with high-quality, high-performance rifles that are affordable,” said Matt Torres, president of RISE Armament. “They’re putting their lives on the line for us every day, and it’s our duty to use our talents as engineers and machinists to give them the best products possible.”

RISE Armament developed the Watchman with input from SWAT/SOT/SRT officers, patrol officers, military snipers, competitive shooters, and firearms instructors to ensure it combined the best in functionality, accuracy, dependability, and affordability. From a squad car to an entry team, it’s duty ready right out of the box.

The Watchman is available in two models — the 223LE, which is chambered in .223 Wylde, which is highly accurate with both .223 and 5.56 ammunition, or the 300LE in 300 Blackout.

RISE developed an advanced flash hider specifically for the Watchman, which ensures flash minimization in low-light environments to avoid affecting the user’s night vision capabilities, yet it minimizes the ring that is common with that type of flash hider. The Watchman is a feature-rich firearm that is ready to meet all the demands of law enforcement members. Read more

FORT SMITH, AR – Umarex USA Inc. announces a major addition to their Gauntlet line of Pre-Charged Pneumatic (PCP) air rifles: the .25 caliber Gauntlet. The Gauntlet offers the larger .25 caliber for the same market driving MSRP of just $299.99.

The .25 caliber Umarex Gauntlet provides up to 27 consistent, powerful shots from one fill of its high capacity 13-cubic inch regulated tank. The 1,900 psi built-in regulator delivers consistent velocity from shot-to-shot for long, flat shot strings. This translates directly into outstanding accuracy for a successful day of small to mid-game hunting or serious target shooting.

With up to 27 consistent shots at 895 feet per second with a 25 grain pellet, the .25 caliber Gauntlet is clearly unmatched when combined with its inherent accuracy, flexible features and 45 foot pounds of generated energy. Shooters can have confidence in the energy transfer into its target without variations in velocity due to changing tank pressure—the “shot curve” characteristic of unregulated PCP air rifles. As long as the built-in pressure gauge remains above 1,900 psi, the regulated Gauntlet generates rock-steady velocity and terminal energy. Read more

Call House and Senate Leadership TODAY and Urge them to Pass the Bipartisan Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act

The U.S. Senate and U.S. House are about to wrap up the 115th Congress, and the bipartisan and universally supported Target Practice and Marksmanship TrainingSupport Act has yet to reach the President’s desk.

The bill would provide for increased access to public shooting ranges benefitting recreational target shooters, gun owners, hunters and sportsmen and women without costing taxpayers a dime.

Time is of the essence, and it is critical that Senate and House Leadership hear from you TODAY. Please urge Leader McConnell, Whip Cornyn, Speaker Ryan, and Leader McCarthy to work on a bipartisan and bicameral basis to enact this pro-sportsmen’s legislation before this Congress adjourns:

Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX): (202) 224-2934
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI): (202) 225-0600

(Greeley, PA) – Thompson Auto-Ordnance, maker of the famous “Tommy Gun” and other classic firearms throughout history, is excited to introduce the “Bonnie and Clyde” Thompson.

The Roaring Twenties created fame and notoriety for a new breed of outlaw. These “motorized bandits” roamed open roads, committing crimes and engaging in battles with lawmen devoted to their capture. Perhaps the most famous among them were the outlaws Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. These two criminals committed a long string of murders and robberies, ultimately leading to their demise in a fiery ambush by law enforcement officers. Despite their evil ways, both bandits became symbols of the time period and earned a role in American popular culture including multiple film portrayals.

Auto-Ordnance continues the legend with this custom finished and engraved “Bonnie and Clyde” Thompson. Each of these Tommy Guns are engraved with reminders of the outlaw duo’s escapades, including photos, a wanted poster, and news headline. The stock features text from Bonnie’s famous poem, “The Trail’s End”, foreseeing their crimes would not pay. The grip is engraved with the badge of the Texas Rangers, in commemoration of the legendary Frank Hamer’s leadership stopping the outlaws. The finish is a Cerakote “rusted” look. Underneath is an all steel, 18” barreled, 1927 pattern Thompson, chambered in powerful .45 ACP. The stock, forearm, and grip are Walnut. Read more

The all-new FN SCAR® 20S is the latest addition to the battle-proven FN SCAR line-up and the first new SCAR introduction since 2010. This new rifle joins the ranks of the FN SCAR family as the commercial version of the FN MK 20 SSR, or sniper support rifle, currently fielded within USSOCOM. This rifle offers precision rifle performance and a Special Operations pedigree that’s hard to beat!

The 7.62 NATO-chambered rifle features a 20-inch, 1:12 twist, heavy profile barrel and barrel extension that achieve sub-MOA accuracy with match-grade ammunition consistently. The extended monolithic aluminum receiver allows users to add a high-powered optic, and mount bipods further forward providing much needed rigidity when shooting to distance.

Additionally, the custom-designed MK20 SSR buttstock adjusts to length of pull and comb height to customize the fit to each shooter while in the prone firing position, and the factory-installed, double-stage Geissele Super SCAR trigger achieves a 3.5-4.5-pound trigger pull. Read more
