Slipstream STYX

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

It's been a long time coming but this month marks the official launch of Slipstream's latest formula. The Slipstream we all know and love isn't going anywhere, don't worry, but Slipstream STYX has some added benefits. We upped the corrosion protection in this formula for our brethren that need it.

Sure, the military has been using the original Slipstream in small doses for some time now and mostly through our "For the Troops" program. The biggest difference is that Styx was formulated specifically with the military in mind and bares that fact on it's label. Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, we have the corrosion protection you need for the salt spray environments you operate around with the added lubrication that Slipstream brings.

Now, don't think we forgot about our CCW friends here at home. Styx is also for you. We know summer time carrying in humid or coastal areas often results in rust. Well now you can keep rust away with ease and have the added lubricity you're use to from Slipstream.

So, head over to our shop section and click on the Styx page to order yours today.

9/11...

Sun, 11 Sep 2011 00:00:00 GMT

I�ve been thinking all week about what to post today. My thoughts went to the events themselves. The ones that inspired patriotism and tears alike. I remember my wife waking me up that morning and flipping on the TV. The first plane�maybe the pilot had a heart attack or something. When a second plane came into view this was a nothing short of an attack on innocent civilians and I was ready for a call to battle. My wife was in tears when people started jumping from windows to escape the flames. I have to admit I had to hide a couple myself. The heroism of flight 93 will echo forever in our memories. �Lets roll�, has new meaning of not just 1950′s car movies but of American resolve to push back those that would try to injure our country. It�s a �don�t mess with us� battle cry now.

After a decade my thoughts still go to the same events but with different perspectives. I think of the victims families missing their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, and so on. To our lost military and security contractors after 10 years of war that never would have touched their lives had it not been for cowards trying to make a point with their own suicides. I still come to the thought of �how dare they�. They have a problem with the way we live our lives so they commit an act of war against innocent people going about their day.

My wife had a song shared with her over Facebook yesterday. One that as a father of girls myself struck especially hard and memorializes today very well. I think it says it all today.

Though the wounds may heal over time never allow the memory of events, the slain, or their families fade from our memory. To those that died in the attach and in the war, we honor you, we love you, and your families will forever be in our hearts and prayers.

Ayoob MAG-40

Thu, 21 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Crusader Weaponry was officially invited to attend the Ayoob Group�s MAG-40 Class in Salt Lake Sept 14-17. We will be there to show off some of Crusader�s Wares, Slipstream, and to have an awesome time with awesome people. This course is hosted by The Gun Dudes, and in attendance will be Daniel Shaw of Gunfighter Cast. We�re excited to finally hang out with Daniel. We consider him an old friend of Crusader since he was the first to interview us about Slipstream in our early days.

To be able to meet and take a class from Massad Ayoob is a big honor. To be able to show off Crusader to him and the other students is a bucket full of ice cold liquid awesome. This is going to be an EPIC week of training.

Slipstream News From the Troops

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Our last buy in for the troops ended up with a good amount going to a groop of Recon Marines on the front. We don't often hear back from "Slipstream for the Troops" because, lets face it, they're a little busy. When the Gentleman making the contribution, Gene, asked if I knew if the packages arrived I didn't have an answer for him. So, Gene sent him a message to find out if our contact, for OPSEC we'll call him Sgt Mack, Got the Slipstream. Here is the reply;

"Tell him thank you very much and the Slipstream is being put to very good use. I kept 2 bottles for myself and passed the rest out to the guys in my Company. There are about 40 Recon Marines using that stuff on their guns every time they head out on a patrol and we are in the most kinetic area in Helmand. Lets just say the Taliban are not appreciating his gift, lol. Thank you very much for whatever you said to get him thinking about sending that stuff.

Sgt. Mack"

We will take care of the weekend's orders Monday and Tuesday. If you have any questions you will still be able to reach us by email, via the contact page. Thanks much and enjoy the weekend.

New to the family

Sun, 03 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT

I'd like to welcome a new Slipstream dealer to the family. Red Eye Defensive Solutions in Harleysville Pennsylvania. Welcome and we're happy to add you to our network of dealers. If you're in their area stop in for some Slipstream and support a new gun shop.

Feedback from the Sandbox

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

We had some feedback come back from overseas. That's right Slipstream in the sandbox. For his protection we'll call him G.B.

"I love the stuff...I have the belt feds lubed with it, my M9 and M4 all lubed with it as well. I am grateful for it. (of our belt fed's)I have only run the 249 on slip and it is so freakin smooth. The nice thing is also that it stays in place unlike the other lubes out there...and it won't evaporate. I love this stuff".

G.B.

Photo Shoot

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

We're heading out tomorrow, with a couple Broadswords, to a photo shoot with Oleg Volk. We're all excited to see the results of this. The biggest thing to come out of this is updated pictures of the Broadsword. There have been a lot of changes to our .308 rifles since that first picture was taken and we're more than happy to trash the old picture. So keep an eye open.

New customer video review

Fri, 04 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT

First off I had no idea this customer was doing this video. He simply sent us a link to it last night. What an awesome review. Thanks so much to Huey for doing this.

Back from SHOT Show

Sat, 22 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

SHOT Show was fantastic. We made a lot of connections and had a great time doing it. We talked to folks from every angle of the industry and can't wait to get back to work. Thanks to everyone who placed orders while we were away. We will get them shipped out first of the week.

Away For SHOT

Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:00:00 GMT

As many of you know, SHOT Show is next week. Our entire shop will be down there for it and we're really looking forward to it. That does, however, mean that incoming Slipstream orders and all other work will be delayed till we get back. We will still be able to receive firearms sent in for work but they won't be done until after we get back to the shop. Thanks for your patience.

Merry Christmas

Fri, 24 Dec 2010 00:00:00 GMT

From the guys and our families here at Crusader, we want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and a fantastic new year. We are honored that so many have put their trust in us and our work this year. We wish all of you health and happiness in the new year. Thank you all so much.

New Dealer

Sat, 20 Nov 2010 00:00:00 GMT

We'd like to welcome Blue Ridge Arsenal in Chantilly Virginia as our newest Slipstream Dealer. They are a great bunch of guys over there, particularly their gunsmith, and we are excited to have them aboard. So if you are in the Chantilly, VA area please pop over there and get some Slipstream oil from them.

Holidays

Fri, 29 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT

The holiday season is about to kick off. Halloween is a couple days away and we hope everyone is ready for a safe and spooky time.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner we wanted to get started with things a little early this year. Now there's more than just football and running off our Thanksgiving dinner to think about. There's Black Friday and what to get everyone for Christmas to start thinking about. To help you out Crusader is putting up an offer for you right away.

From now until the end of the year Crusader is including a voucher for $25.00 off a training course in EVERY sale from our website. Now certain restrictions have to fall in with that but nothing big. There is a one voucher per day limit and only one voucher redeemed per course. I know that was long and painful, wasn't it?

So come buy a rifle, stripped or complete lower, upper, and of course Slipstream and get a deal on some great training in the spring.

So have a great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Crusader Goes To SHOTSHOW

Tue, 26 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT

That's right we just signed up to attend. We'll be there with info on Crusader products and services. We are very excited about this and can't wait to meet other vendors and folks there. Hopefully we'll run into some of you there. So don't be shy come up and say hello.

We will be taking plenty of pictures and video so plan on some great updates both during and after Shot Show raps up.
