Thanksgiving is in the rear view and Christmas will be here before we know it. 2016 is winding down, though anyone in the firearms business will tell you that relaxing is for after SHOT Show. Still, with the election finally behind us, it does feel like there's room to breathe and reflect.
Like so many in our industry, this has been a manic year for us. It's also been amazing to see how many people continue to choose JP when there are so many options available. It's enough to make us proud and humble in equal measure.
Anyone who starts a business will admit that good ideas and hard work are vital, but they're not everything. You can't get by without some good fortune and the goodwill of others. There's no accounting for the former, but we certainly feel blessed by the latter.
For all of you who shoot JP and sing our praises, we are thankful. We live by our good reputation, and we share credit for that with every one of you. Thank you, and we wish you the greatest joy this season.
Now, let's run down the BULLETin business...

The 6.5 Grendel is a brute of a cartridge compared to sweet, little .223. This takes a toll on extractor lifespan, so we've completely redesigned the Enhanced Extractor on our 6.5G bolts to compensate. More material where it's needed means longer life expectancy for any standard 6.5G bolt on the market.
