Thursday, September 18th, 2025

HILLSBOROUGH, NC – September 12, 2025 – Reptilia, a leading manufacturer of precision firearm accessories, is proud to announce the official release of the Reptilia Handguard—a purpose-built solution engineered for professional shooters, law enforcement, and military applications.

The handguard is complemented by the Barrel Nut & Turnbuckle Wrench, a dedicated installation tool machined from 304 stainless steel and laser-engraved with torque specifications. This tool streamlines the installation process and ensures every build meets precise, repeatable standards.

Key Specifications:

Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum

Finish: MIL-STD Type III Hardcoat Anodizing

The Gen 2 Black Collar Arms Priapus Grip Is Here

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025

Cedar Park, TX (09/03/2025) – The best AR-compatible grip on the market is now even better! AND it’s available in two styles! AND we’ve lowered the price! We hit the trifecta with the Gen 2 Priapus Grip:

Better than ever: the Priapus Grip is now precision injection molded from a tungsten-infused polymer blend. It’s incredibly strong and it has a dense, warm, super premium look and feel.

Two variations: the Priapus Grip innovated smooth, recessed fields for the application of skateboard-style grip tape, and that’s still available! Choose this option to customize your grip textures and colors. New with Gen 2 is a molded-in grip texture version of the Priapus Grip with a sand-style grit texture on the left and right sides and an aggressive diamond plate-style texture on the frontstrap and backstrap.

Lower price: injection molding at scale has allowed us to lower the Priapus Grip’s MSRP ($24.99 for molded-in texture, $29.99 for grip tape). Dealer/distributor/OEM inquiries welcome!

A perfect hybrid of precision rifle and tactical, Priapus Grip delivers the hand positioning, shape, and control of a PRS-style grip with the size and light weight of a tactical AR-style grip. It’s THE BEST grip on the market whether used for long-range on a precision rifle, for hunting, or for tactical operations on a shorty carbine or subgun. In other words, it’s the first precision grip that you can also run and gun with.

The Priapus Grip is symmetrical with a mild palm swell, an arched backstrap that drives the hand into the correct position, and a nearly vertical, relatively square front strap that’s both comfortable and highly indexable. On any rifle or large format pistol, from full-size PRS guns to subguns, the Priapus Grip’s unique shape, angle, size, and grip textures ensure it feels right at home and outperforms the competition.

It’s the best AR-compatible grip on the market!

Specs:

Material: injection molded from ultra-premium, tungsten-infused polymer

Weight: 2.9 ounces

Height: 4-1/8 inches max length along front

Max Circumference: approximately 5 1/8 inches

An obscene Greek god of masculinity, Priapus accomplished some unique and surprising feats. Our grip also performs in highly impressive ways, and it’s about time you experienced it for yourself! Pick up your Priapus Grip today from Black Collar Arms HERE.

MATBOCK Monday: 60mm & 81mm Mortar Training with the MWAD

Monday, September 1st, 2025

Over the last few months we have been out with various units conducting mortar training using the digital indirect fire sight called the Multi-weapon Aiming Device (MWAD).

Software Integration with ATAK & NettWarrior:

The MWAD utilizes the current NettWarrior Tactical Scalable Mobile (TSM) adhoc network and NettWarrior DAPS Gen2 Navigation set for secured communication and PNT (Position Navigation and timing).

Another cool feature is the Dismounted Assured, Positioning, Navigation, and Timing System (DAPS) gen2 utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) which would allow the MWAD to connect to the only GPS in the world that uses the new M-code (military code). Currently, gun lines use the DAGR, which is an easily jammed p/y code.

The MWAD can already function on the NettWarrior ensemble and is ready for the DoD’s next generation of M-code satellite vehicles.

60mm with DAPs:

81mm Training:
