HILLSBOROUGH, NC — Reptilia is proud to announce the release of the new 13” ARCA Handguard, now available in both Black and Flat Dark Earth.
Designed for shooters who demand maximum versatility from their rifle, the 13” ARCA Handguard integrates a continuous Arca-Swiss interface directly into the handguard, eliminating the need for bolt-on rails while providing seamless compatibility with modern tripod systems. The result is a cleaner, stronger, and more streamlined solution for precision rifle applications, hunting, competition, and field use.
Built around Reptilia’s patented turnbuckle mounting system, the handguard delivers a secure and repeatable lockup across standard M4 upper receivers while maintaining a lightweight profile and full M-LOK compatibility. Shooters can quickly attach to tripod systems, fine-tune rifle balance through fore-aft adjustment, and configure mission-essential accessories without compromise.
“The 13in ARCA Handguard expands the capabilities of the AR platform while maintaining the simplicity and durability our customers expect,” said Reptilia. “By integrating the ARCA interface directly into the handguard, we’re providing a purpose-built solution that enhances stability, versatility, and overall rifle performance.”
Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion and protected by a MIL-STD Type III Class 2 hardcoat anodized finish, the 13” ARCA Handguard is engineered to withstand hard use in demanding environments. Like all Reptilia products, it is proudly made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

Developed in collaboration with AFRC leadership and end users, the custom KOR protective panel system (4217 SYS) was engineered to provide a universal storage platform capable of securely accommodating a wide range of prescribed weapons and associated equipment while maximizing protection during transport and storage.
To ensure operational effectiveness and mission readiness, KOR worked directly within AFRC commanders to develop first-article units and conduct equipment test fitting prior to production. This hands-on approach enabled the team to validate fit, functionality, and protection requirements before deployment across the command. KOR also partnered with SKB Cases to integrate its configurable protection technology within a rugged transport platform, creating a solution that combines the durability of military-grade hard cases with the flexibility of KOR’s reconfigurable protection system.
“Working closely with AFRC personnel allowed us to develop a solution that addressed both standardization and adaptability requirements,” said GP, Co-Founder of KOR.
“The result is a universal storage system capable of protecting a broad range of equipment while providing commanders with a scalable solution that can evolve alongside mission needs.”
The program moved from development to deployment at an accelerated pace, with KOR manufacturing and delivering 4,000 systems within eight weeks of project approval.
Today, KOR systems are fielded across 25 Air Force Reserve Command bases throughout the United States, supporting the secure storage, transport, and protection of critical equipment.

Coming soon from Princeton Tec is the Pilot Finger Light. Exhibited at SOF Select, it offers White, Blue, Green and Red light at 6 lumens. In addition to dual fuel ((1) CR1 / 3N or (2) LR44) this American made light has an IP68 environmental rating.
You read that right..Raider Green. At SOF Select we got a sneak peek of two new pack variants from Mystery Ranch which are destined for MARSOC.
The 3 Day Assault Pack and Mountain Ruck feature a two-tone color way with Raider Green being paired with Coyote buckles and zippers.
Why Raider Green? Back in October, 2024, MARSOC announced it would be ditching MultiCam and reverting to a more traditional Green color scheme. This is the result.
NEWINGTON, N.H., (June 15, 2026) – In celebration of the United States Army’s 250th anniversary, SIG SAUER, an industry-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, optics, and ammunition, presented the Secretary of the Army and the Sergeant Major of the Army with commemorative SIG SAUER M17 pistols.
The attendees at the June 10 ceremony, held at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., included:
Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll
Sergeant Major of the Army Michael R. Weimer
SIG SAUER SVP and Chief Government Affairs Officer Bobby Cox
SIG SAUER Defense Strategies Group Director of Strategic Accounts Phil Aufiero
“It is one of our highest honors to design, build, and deliver our products for the United States Army,” said Bobby Cox of SIG SAUER and a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. “For more than 250 years, the United States Army has defended our nation and land. It is important to come together and take a moment to show our gratitude to the servicemen and women who wear the uniform and protect us, and that was the focus of the ceremony at the Pentagon.”
June 14 is the anniversary of the Army’s creation, with last year marking the historic 250th milestone. The United States Army 250th Anniversary Commemorative Edition of the SIG SAUER M17, the official sidearm of America’s armed forces, was designed and manufactured with a strictly limited small batch production, making it a rare and highly collectible tribute to U.S. military service. The commemorative pistol is chambered in 9mm and features a 4.7-inch barrel within a full-size frame, delivering exceptional balance, shootability, and reliability whether it is displayed as a collector’s piece or fired on the range. A similar model is carried at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider at Arlington National Cemetery.
A distinguishing feature is its high polish DLC-coated stainless steel slide with high polish gold controls and a mirror-like finish. The slide assembly, which denotes “Est. 1775” in remembrance of the Army’s creation, adheres to the Modular Handgun System specifications and incorporates a single-screw removable rear night sight plate, providing seamless compatibility with modern optics.
