MATBOCK Tariser Eclipse 12 Years Later!

Tuesday, January 16th, 2024

Look what MATBOCK found when digging through their videos.

For nearly a decade, the Tarsier Eclipse has been on the market. This was one of the original designs that ultimately didn’t make the cut, a few reasons why it didn’t make the cut.
The material is less protective than the current rubber body, which acts as a shock absorber.
The inability to quickly identify how open or closed the iris is, even with cold weather gloves on.
Less parts that required being screwed together
Operators were inadvertently unlocking or twisting the body off when they adjusted the iris to “fully open” or “fully closed”.
Here is a cool pro-tip they just posted the other day.

MLK: A Timeless Message

Monday, January 15th, 2024

The US civil rights movement saw many defining moments throughout the 1950s and 1960s, with significant achievements in 1964 with the Civil Rights Act, and in 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. Throughout this era, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. became synonymous with the social and political struggle in pursuit of equality and freedom for all people to “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

Throughout this time, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. impacted millions of lives during his travels across the country, sometimes through simple acts of kindness to strangers.

In 1967, one of those strangers was a young flight attendant on a United Airlines flight between New York and Atlanta, our Co-Founder and Chairman, Nancy E. Meyers…

Magpul AMAGs come with many of our proven features, including a high-visibility, controlled-tilt follower, stainless-steel spring, flared floorplate that’s easily removable for cleaning and routine maintenance, paint-pen dot matrix for magazine marking, and capacity-indicator windows which begin at five (5) rounds, and continue along the spine of the magazine in one-round increments.
