Brownells Honors “FedEx Guy” With All American Dream Gun

GW: Way to go, Pete, for recognizing Matt Uhrin and the country’s symbol of freedom!

ATLANTA, Georgia – Brownells’ NRA Annual Meeting & Exhibits special guest Matt Uhrin – also known as the famous flag-saving “FedEx Guy” – was honored by Brownells CEO Pete Brownell during a presentation in the Brownells booth on Saturday, April 29, 2017.

Uhrin, an Iowa City, Iowa-area package delivery man, was recognized for his patriotism and courageous actions for intervening in a late-January 2017 protest where demonstrators were preparing to burn American flags. A U.S. Army combat veteran, Uhrin, who had sent fallen brothers and sisters home from the Mid-East under America’s symbol of freedom rushed into the crowd of protestors, bravely saving three American flags.

In recognition of his actions, Brownells CEO Pete Brownell presented Uhrin with the one-of-a-kind Brownells/Smith & Wesson® All American Dream Gun®. The firearm is a highly-customized Smith & Wesson M&P® M2.0™ 9mm pistol and features, most appropriately, an American Flag paint scheme.

“Matt is a shining example of a patriot, local hero and a real American,” said Brownell. “Too many times we see indifference in society; it’s just great to see someone bold enough to do the right thing. I want to thank Matt for his service to our country both at home and abroad and I’m proud to give him this fantastic firearm.” Read more

Motorkote for Firearms

80 year old barrel protected by Motorkote

I’ve grown quite partial when it comes to lubricating and protecting firearms. I’ve had many oils and concoctions at my disposal but have found nothing better suited than Motorkote – the same product used to protect automobile and truck engines!

The above photo shows the muzzle end of a Marlin model 81 in .22 rimfire caliber circa 1937 protruding from the garage window on duty for small varmints.  A little rain is nothing to fear.

Check the product line out at Motorkote.com

And, in case you’re wondering, nobody’s paying me a thing for any of this.  Regardless, Motorkote’s been in my vintage tractors, autos, trucks, you name it for many years.

Here’s owner, Ed Gibbs, demonstrating the superior lubricating properties of Motorkote:
