The Gun Club of America recently presented a generous check in the amount of $13,049.50 to the GCA Charity of the Year The Pathway Home. The donation amount was successfully raised through the sales of raffle and auction tickets, as well as a portion of the attendance fees, from GCA and American Gunsmithing Institute (AGI)'s fourth annual event, GunStock. The event was held at the Stillwater Firearms Association (SFA) Range in Fallon, Nevada in June of 2012. Although the event is over, the GCA and AGI are still receiving donations for this worthy charity. The Pathway Home is a Yountville, California non-profit, residential recovery program for returning veterans and active duty members of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars who deal with the challenges of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Post-Traumatic Stress (PTS).

GunSpec has stepped up its commitment to providing online services for retailers and firearms enthusiasts in light of recent changes of policy by one of the largest search engines in the world. 

Through the new policy, firearms retailers must comply with the rules that include pay-for-position and the elimination of any products that appear on the list of prohibited products to include "guns, ammunition and knives." Aware of the serious implications for retailers, GunSpec is currently developing new programs that will allow displaced retailers to set their own budgets, bid on search product placement and provide them with additional brand exposure for their stores.

LaserLyte® introduces new Zombie-themed packaging for the current LaserLyte Zombie products: the CK-AMFZK, CK-AMF9ZK and the PB-3ZK. The new packaging is a nod to the popular media myth of the walking dead, with ghoulish green graphics featuring a brain-eating zombie with laser red eyes. Since Zombies are mono-chromatic deficient and cannot see this particular shade of green, the packaging hides the LaserLyte products from roving bands of Walkers. And on the same glow-in-the-dark note, the packaging will allow remaining survivors to quickly identify their much-needed LaserLyte lasers for their Ruger LCPs and LC9s and Kel-Tec's .380, .32 and PF9s and "the last resort" serrated Mini-Survival Knife pistol bayonet.

After trying to utilize standard, off-the-shelf buttstocks for the MPA carbines over the years, they have finally designed a buttstock specifically for the MPA product line. The new version provides the shooter the ability to utilize both the iron sights, as well as a rail mounted scope. It is also reminiscent of the  original MAC wire frame stocks. These stocks are shipping now on various MPA carbines. 

Morphix Technologies® has been awarded an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract by the Department of Homeland Security. The contract stipulates that Morphix Technologies is the sole source to supply the Chameleon® customized chemical detection unit with eight (8) chemical detector cassettes.

NavELite has received confirmation, that after extensive testing, the NavELite Backlit Magnetic Compass (BLMC) is authorized for use by U.S. Army Ranger Students as an optional packing list item during all training to include land navigation testing. 

Any "cleaner" like CLP should be rinsed off with rubbing alcohol; you want to apply Sentry Solutions' products to a clean, residue free surface. Yes, we have often been asked about a cleaner and we have experimented with many. It is a challenge as once our products are on a firearm the need for solvent based cleaning is virtually eliminated. The other challenge is there are so many different contaminants to be cleaned off a firearm finding a single cleaner which is effective on all "dirts" is very difficult. Sentry Solutions decided to develop products which would keep firearms clean in the first place and so reduce the need for cleaners.
