The Rapid Product Development Center in our Engineering Services Group has just brought our Stratysis FDM Vantage 3D Fuse Deposition Printer online. The engineering team is working on confirming modifications to a new SABER™ chassis center section. The “build” took about 14 hours. Stay tuned for pictures of the new MT-50 .50caliber SABER™ chassis center section for the McMillan TAC-50!

Thought I would share some photos of our rifles as they came back in the office after being at the Infantry Warfighter Conference in Columbus, Georgia. We were glad to meet all of you that stopped by our booth. See you at Fort Benning for the International Sniper Competition in October!

On August the 25th, Ashbury International Group was privileged to host a visit by retired Marine Major Jim Land, the current Secretary of the National Rifle Association. Major Land, as he is generally referred to, served multiple tours in Vietnam and is known as the “Father of Modern Marine Corps Sniping”. As a Captain, he was the Commanding Officer of Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, the subject of the book Marine Sniper.

Ashbury International Group is fortunate to have a connection to Major Land through Gary Gregory, the Ordnance Production Manager here at Ashbury Precision Ordnance. Gary is a retired marine Master Sergeant and spent many years in the Marine Corps serving with Major Land as a gunsmith for the Shooting Teams. Since retiring they have maintained a close friendship over the years.

At one time surveillance meant knowing the enemy’s location, number of troops, and artillery, but this has all changed with emergence of terrorism. Today’s, soldiers are conducting “persistent surveillance,” which is essential to defeating today’s unconventional enemies. Based on watching enemies 24×7, decisions must be made and communicated to the striking force within seconds or opportunities are lost. In an increasing number of cases, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used for persistent surveillance.

This type of life-saving, intelligent technology is made possible by a variety of companies including Fisher Connectors. This Swiss-based company provides highly reliable connectors for UAVs and other types of military equipment like the surveillance and weapon systems created by Ashbury International. Together these two innovative partners are providing soldiers with military surveillance equipment and weapon systems that stand apart from the competition.
