Atlanta, GA – Vigilant Gear, LLC, owner of Primary Weapons Systems & Lone Wolf Arms is excited to announce industry veteran, Nate Treadaway, as the new CEO effective January 1, 2022
Treadaway has over two decades of executive leadership in the firearms industry while guiding BPI Outdoors’ CVA and Bergara brands to success. In his previous roles, Nate managed essentially every aspect of the business including sales, marketing, operations, product development and strategic planning.
“There is absolutely no one better I could think of to steward these two companies into the future,” states Vigilant Gear Founder & Chairman, Clay Tippins. “Nate’s experience & stellar reputation as a seasoned industry professional, as well as his intimate knowledge of how to manage multiple brands, will be instrumental in allowing both of these companies to realize their full potential.”
“Throughout the years, we have watched the inevitable demise of multiple major household brands, not because of their workers or products, but due to the short-sided decisions and accounting games made by financial managers from Wall Street. Almost everyone from within this industry knows that a company’s true worth comes from its in-house talent, with intrinsic brand and product knowledge that cannot simply be replaced or consolidated,” says Treadaway. “This is extremely relevant in that our strategy will simply be to stabilize, invest and grow these brands with a long-term perspective. I intend to run both Primary Weapons Systems and Lone Wolf Arms as separate entities with a pledge of financial & professional management support that has been absent in the past. I could not be more excited about this opportunity. With the brand reputations, in-house talent and renewed financial resources we are going to build something truly special.”

About Primary Weapons Systems
Primary Weapons Systems (PWS) was formed in 2008 as a rifle component company and has since grown to be one of the largest firearms manufacturers in the Northwest. PWS initially made firearm accessories and compensators, but quickly moved into firearm manufacturing as they developed their PWS Long-Stroke Piston System which takes the operating system from Kalashnikov’s AK design and merges it with Stoner’s AR platform, giving a hybrid rifle to shooters looking for a low-maintenance yet reliable and accurate firearm. PWS manufactures AR-15s in 223 Wylde, 300BLK and 7.62×39- all with the long-stroke piston operating system. Also manufactured by Primary Weapons Systems are lightweight buffer tubes, steel body buffers, accessories and a wide selection of compensators for firearms both piston driven and direct impingement.
