O P Tactical Inc (OPT), an industry leader in the sale of the finest gear available, has released five new morale designs. OPT’s new sign has been made into a logo in the format of stickers, T-shirts, and embroidery. The remaining four designs are morale pieces that are self explanatory, including a tribute to the African bush wars of the 60s-90s and the movie Caddyshack. Embroidery, PVC, hoodies, hats, and other formats will follow in months to come.
O P Tactical is a 100% disabled Veteran owned small business in Raleigh, NC. They have 14 years in international ecommerce, and a walk in brick and mortar store.

It’s a full zip, fleece lined, hooded parka-style coat with Napoleon pockets, front patch pockets with side and top flapped entry and snap cuff tabs. The right side pocket extends up into the chest cavity, offer plenty of room for cameras and even tripods. Additionally, it features mesh interior pockets for quick access to electronics and accessories.
It will be available in Black and Manatee.
The MATBOCK ARD (Aquire Read Deploy) is a new 40mm weapon sight designed and manufactured in the USA. Made from anodized aluminum and mountable on either side or top rails, the sight has a digital LCD screen that outputs the range of 40mm projectiles given the angle of the weapon, the weapon system and the round used. Currently, the sight is configured for m203, 320, PGL6 weapon platforms as well as multiple rounds to include HE and non-lethal rounds. More weapons and rounds are to be brought online and each weapon sight can be updated with the new software. The simplicity of the sight is what makes it so adaptable in a firefight. Simply estimate the range of the enemy and raise the weapon to achieve that desired distance. After the first round impact is visualized, the operator can adjust fire to bring him/her on target very quickly.
The images below are a preproduction version and the production model is half the size and weight of those pictured. The unit runs off of a 123 battery and has 2 buttons to turn the unit on and off, cycle through the menus, and select the line desired. MATBOCK currently has multiple Gen 1 models available for testing with the Gen 2 models expected to come off the manufacturing line in just 8 weeks. Please contact admin@matbock.com to request a testing model.

For years, customers have been asking Dana Gleason to introduce a wheeled bag. They’ve listened and answered the call. At OR, Mystery Ranch exhibited their new Mission Wheelies.
Offered in three sizes (42, 81, and 130 liters), they feature a tub design made from a laminate of EVA foam exterior and polycarbonate interior in order to withstand the stresses of airline travel. The fabric is 1000D Cordura with 915D HP Cordura at the base.
The Mission Wheelie incorporates an expandable dirty laundry bag at the top and a footwear bag at the bottom. In the interior, you’ll find four zippered mesh pockets for organization. Finally, there are four handles (one each side) to make handling easier.
Just a heads up. As part of the MR commercial line, these are made in the Philippines.
Offered in Black and Coyote.
The Virginia Beach-based holding company announced today that its operating businesses are being divided between their two owners, William Somerindyke and Lee Tolleson.
Due solely to the differing visions on the future direction of their family of companies, both Tolleson and Somerindyke believe a split up is necessary to insure the future success, growth and sustainability of the companies. Both parties wish each other the very best in their future activities and endeavors.
Pursuant to their agreement, Somerindyke shall retain ownership of Regulus Global, while Tolleson shall retain ownership of ARK Defense, ARK Medical and Badgerwerx.
