SIG SAUER Donates MCX-SPEAR Package to Task Force Dagger SOFIC Auction

NEWINGTON, N.H. – SIG SAUER is pleased to support Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation with an exclusive SIG MCX-SPEAR package for the Task Force Dagger SOF Auction and Raffle occurring in conjunction with the upcoming SOFIC (Special Operations Forces International Conference) show. Task Force Dagger Special Operations Foundation is a veteran-operated non-profit that aids wounded, ill, or injured U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) members and their families. This exclusive package includes a SIG MCX-SPEAR Rifle in a 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, a TANGO6T riflescope, and a SIG SLX Suppressor. The auction opened on Monday, May 9th and will close on Tuesday, May 17th at 8:00pm.

“It is an honor for SIG SAUER to support the mission and programs of Task Force Dagger year after year in support of the Special Operations Community. This year with the excitement of our selection as the provider of the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapons Program (NGSW) and the SOFIC show we are hopeful that our donation of this MCX-SPEAR package will help to increase the success and reach of the Task Force Dagger Foundation programs within the SOF community,” said Jason St. John, Director, Government Products. “The MCX-SPEAR and the SLX Suppressor are the same platform and suppressor as the NGSW rifle. For this auction, the rifle is offered in the soon-to-be-released 6.5 Creedmoor caliber and paired with the popular TANGO6T riflescope currently in use in various set-ups throughout the military. With the excitement and demand of the MCX-SPEAR in the commercial market we are hopeful that this will inspire the bidding to benefit the organization.”

The SIG MCX-SPEAR rifle is an adaptable multi-caliber rifle featuring rear and side non-reciprocating charging handles, 6-position folding stock, ambidextrous fire control, bolt-catch, and mag release, 2-stage match trigger, 2-position adjustable gas piston, a lightened free-float M-LOK™ handguard, a full-length picatinny rail, and ships with (1) 20-round magazine.

The SIG SAUER SLX Series of suppressors are designed to drastically reduce toxic fume inhalation by the end-user and sound reduction. The SLX suppressors feature a monolithic core construction in Inconel, an internal multi-flow path to exhaust gases at a higher rate resulting in lower toxic fume inhalation, a sound-reducing baffle design, a flash reducing end cap, and are available with either the new Clutch-Lock QD mounting system for easy install and removal that offers an intuitive tactile locking ring with infinite radial locking positions or direct thread.

The SIG SAUER Electro-Optics TANGO6T optic is currently in use as the Direct View Optic (DVO), Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR) and the USSOCOM Squad-Variable Powered Scope (S-VPS). The SIG SAUER TANGO6T 1-6x24MM riflescope is available in first and second plane, and varying reticles including 5.56/7.62 Horseshoe Dot, HELLFIRE MOA Milling, HELLFIRE FL-6 and the new DWLR6.

The complete details of the SIG SAUER MCX-SPEAR package to benefit the Task Force Dagger SOF Auction are available on the auction website and bidding is open through Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at 8:00pm.

Hornady Security Wireless Hygrometer

Grand Island, NE – The Hornady Security® Wireless Hygrometer monitors temperature and humidity in real-time, all without opening the gun safe. In hot and humid conditions, firearms and ammo oxidize and degrade quickly, so monitoring their storage environment is critical. The Wireless Hygrometer makes this necessary task easy and convenient.

The wireless hygrometer employs a remote sensor inside the safe, vault or room. It measures temperature and humidity data, transmitting it to an external base display. Wireless technology eliminates the need to open the container and check the storage environment, preventing temperature and humidity spikes from the outside air.

The display features a large touchscreen that shows current high/low data from both the base and remote units in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Locating the base display in an accessible spot provides convenience and peace of mind, knowing at a glance if the safe’s contents are cool and dry—optimum storage conditions.

While the sensor works inside any space, its unique design snaps perfectly into the Hornady® Square-Lok™ system for a quick mounting option inside a compatible Hornady Security container. The display features several placement options, including an integrated stand, magnets, hanging hole and Square-Lok™ mount.

Hornady Security created the Wireless Hygrometer for measuring moisture and temperature. The hygrometer pairs with Hornady Security’s in-safe dehumidifiers to combat oxidation-causing moisture.

Wireless Hygrometer Features:

  • Remote sensor measures temperature and humidity
  • Displays high/low temperature and humidity in either Fahrenheit or Celsius
  • Large touchscreen display
  • Snaps into the Hornady® Square-Lok™ system
  • Integrated stand, powerful magnets or Hornady® Square-Lok™ mount allows placement anywhere
  • Item Number: 95907
  • Size:
  • Base Display 76 x 63 x 15mm (3” x2.5” x 0.6”)
  • Remote Sensor 72 x 72 x 25mm (2.8” x 2.8” x 1”)

FPC Leads 2A Win in Appealing California’s Age-Based Firearm Purchase Ban

PASADENA, CA (May 11, 2022) – A 3-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision today in the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and FPC Action Foundation (FPCAF)-led case of Jones v. Bonta, holding that California’s age-based firearms purchase ban is unconstitutional and that “the district court erred in not enjoining an almost total ban on semiautomatic centerfire rifles” for young adults. The decision can be found online at FPCLaw.org.

“Today’s decision confirms that peaceable legal adults cannot be prohibited from acquiring firearms and exercising their rights enshrined in the Second Amendment,” said FPC Vice President of Programs Adam Kraut. “We are pleased to see progress on this important legal front and optimistic that similar results will come from our many other challenges to age-based bans filed in courts across the United States.”

The majority decision in this FPC lawsuit said that “America would not exist without the heroism of the young adults who fought and died in our revolutionary army. Today we reaffirm that our Constitution still protects the right that enabled their sacrifice: the right of young adults to keep and bear arms.” However, it noted, “California has restricted the sale of most firearms to anyone under 21.” Ultimately, however, the Court held that “…the Second Amendment protects the right of young adults to keep and bear arms, which includes the right to purchase them.” Read more
