CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
I recently purchased the Windham Weaponry MPC model AR 15 from Cabela’s and wanted to thank you for giving part of the proceeds to the Wounded Warriors Outdoor Recreation Program and for etching the American flag on the side of the gun.
I did quite a bit of research before I bought this particular gun and based on the reviews it appears to be a very high quality firearm. However, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to support an organization that supports our troops and obviously loves America.
I look forward to shooting my new gun for the first time this week with my daughter. Thank you again for caring about those who sacrificed so much for our freedoms.

What’s New in LE
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.
I would like to thank those of you that made your way to Baltimore for the National Sheriff’s Association Convention and for coming by the Windham Weaponry booth. I know the traffic at the show was down a bit, but I still made some amazing contacts. I would like to thank Henk Iverson and James Sanchez for coming by the booth, and for taking the time to work with WW in the future.
Here is an update on our Armorer’s Course being held here at the factory in August. The class is full at this time and because of the overwhelming interest I had to increase the class size. For those of you that were not able to get into this class, please keep an eye on the training section of our website for announcement on future classes. The next class here at the factory is going to be in November so if you would like to attend please go to the link provide for additional information https://www.windhamweaponry.com/le/training.asp
