The StratoFighters feature Dark Op’s proprietary RaptorLokTM , self cleansing double talon locking system that uses the entire length of the knife to support the opened blade. Unlike modern unproven and complicated locking systems, the basic principles of this design have been tested for over fifty years. Dark Ops’ secondary CrisisCrossTM cross-bolt locking system serves the dual function of preventing the knife from being closed while open and prevents the untrained user from deploying the knife if separated from its owner. The pommel end of the knife offers an integrated emergency window breaker and paracord safety tethering hole.The scales are made ofT6160 aircraft grade hardened aluminum, not porous materials that cannot be decontaminated from bodily fluids or chemical munitions. Carved into the sides of the scales are lateral control grooves that provide indexing points in darkness as well as additional control without increasing the width of the handle. Deep finger grooves orient the knife in the hand and add a third more grip area.

NRA Recruiter Program a big hit with Retailers and Manufacturers

If you like guns, sell guns or have anything to do with making a living associated with guns, we largely in recent times have the National Rifle Association to thank for this privilege. In addition to being extraordinarily capable, they are some of the classiest people you will ever meet. Wayne LaPierre, Chris Cox at ILA and John Bailey who now runs the recruiter program are some of the most profoundly decent people you will ever work with. The Recruiter Program costs Manufacturers or Dealers nothing, but allows these groups to promote NRA memberships by offering inserts that can be put in products, web links directly to the NRA membership site and other convenient programs. An Endowment member myself, I 13

highly encourage all manufacturers to join this program. All of my companies are members, and this is a great way to support an organization to which all of us who make our living in this industry owe so much! Jim Bonis

With 6 Viton® hightemp double O-rings at the connection surfaces, they are waterproof. The High-temp, high transmissibility Iridium coated borosilicate glass won’t deform like plastic lenses, is field replaceable and is recessed to avoid powder spray from the muzzle blast. Unlike complicated multifunction lights with electronics that HELLFIGHTER X-8

Record Year for Dark Ops Holdings!

Record sales yield cigars and smiles. Dark Ops Holdings CEO Frank Miller (Center) shares the celebration with CounterSniper Optics CEO Jim Bonis, (Right) and AST Magazine Sales Rep of the Year Bob Shinogle. Two of the brands under distribution by Dark Ops Holdings, CounterSniper Optics and HellFighter Lighting are the fastest growing new companies in their product sectors. Dark Ops has opened a new, state of the art distribution headquarters in Springfield, MO and has grown into a global sales powerhouse distributing all over the world. Miller始s Dark Ops Fighting Knives have become the de-facto standard for hard use tactical fighting knives and new models in the line are already heavily backordered. The company has more than doubled in size each year since its inception, and the addition of the World Exclusive Distributorship of CounterSniper始s StarFighterTM line of Night Vision Optics can only further that growth.

TRS -THE MOST ACCURATE RAIL SYSTEM EVER MADE ®

In an effort to help military customers measure and solve rail related problems, Otis not only developed qualification gauges for mil-spec 1913, but also conceived a new patent pending machining process. This resulted in a truly mil-spec 1913 compliant rail, the Otis TRS®. TRS® stands for Turned Rail System, an engineered process that delivers the highest quality mounting system available today! The TRS-74 is designed for AR-15 Carbines such as the M4 and provides a perfectly integrated platform to achieve your rifle’s full potential. Chosen for their versatility, accuracy and reliability, AR-15 Carbines are time tested in the most demanding situations. They call for the very best in mounting systems. Every quality laser, scope, or illuminator needs the same rock-solid mount. Your performance, maybe your life, depends on it! Whether you are patrolling the mountains of Afghanistan, practicing tactical entry and room clearing, or just emptying mags at the gun club, expect tough, reliable and solid performance! Insist on the only rail that offers superior quality at a competitive price. Ask for the Otis TRS-74.

• Rugged one piece design safely protects the barrel and gas tube • Excellent repeatability when remounting accessories • Forend nut and locking ring engineered to provide the most secure mount and foundation for all accessories • Free float set-up provides the ultimate accuracy during heavy use • Laser engraved positions assist with accessory mounting and re-mounting • Six (6) Rail Covers protect you and your investment • Lifetime warranty • 100% Made in the USA

THE FINEST TACTICAL FIGHTING KNIVES IN HISTORY!

MADE IN THE

U.S.A.

WE WILL NOT FORGET

9/11/01

THE VENDETTATM BACK-UP COVERT NECK/FOREARM/ANKLE KNIFE Don't let the space age curves fool you, this is one of the most ergonomically form fitting "blades of last resort" you will ever handle. Usable in the smallest and largest hands, and possibly the only neck knife in the world deployable in the reverse grip. Used properly it can generate the last earthly sensation a terrorist feels on a quick trip to the hereafter. A PanicPortTM through-hole in the tail of the integrated tang allows positive sheath removal even with 85% of the knife concealed in the ankle and forearm modes. A deep index finger notch provides secure grip and astonishing leverage, and multiple deep finger grooves allow for the secure positioning of the middle, ring and pinky fingers. The Knife is skeletonized for weight reduction, but has small enough cutouts to not trap fingers under duress. The Throughhole in the handle allows for a positive finger through control for secure grip when hands are cold and prevents the knife from being taken away in defensive moves. Built of Dark Ops legendary CTV2 Steel, but with a fractionally higher stainless content and treated with a Titanium Carbonitride coating, the knife is impervious to body sweat and humidity associated with on-the-body concealed knives. A DEEP! hollow grind yields a razor cutting edge. A broader flat grind with serrations on the top edge is used for heavy duty occupational cutting work. Heavy grip notching covers the entire contact circumference for added grip tenacity. All user contact surfaces are polished smoothed and heavily beveled to prevent snags in deployment. Lethal, concealable. May be illegal in certain jurisdictions. Intended for Military & Law Enforcement & EMS professionals only.

Just like a mongoose with fangs up front and fur in the back, the Otis Mongoose® brush/swab features the speedy best of both worlds! With both copper bristles and a cotton composite cleaning swab, a single pass through your barrel can provide a quick speed clean in less than 5 seconds! If during a hunt you get some snow/water/dirt or debris in your barrel, a quick pass with the Mongoose® will have you shooting again in no time. The bristles mechanically dislodge any hardened fouling and the swab sweeps it all clean. A drop of Otis 085® Ultra Bore® Cleaner and you have the benefit of a chemical cleaning and rust protection. Its a great end-of-day quick cleaner to handle condensation that may have built up during the day, or before the hunt when your gun goes from your warm trunk to the chilly morning air. The cotton swab is specially woven to hold shape and won’t dissolve under harsh chemical solvents, leaving dissolved brush residue in the bore. Otis’ bristle construction has three times the

number of bristles of typical brushes, making each pass through the bore equal to three passes with a conventional brush. Custom short-brush design allows access for limited breech firearms and automatics. Tufcor® Proprietary Binding wire holds the bristles and swab securely and can't break off in the bore, rendering the weapon unshootable, as often happens with lesser designs. The Mongoose® is available in .17, .25, .30, .38 and .40 calibers and is sold in packs of 5. Integrates seamlessly with all Otis kits for Breech-to-Muzzle® cleaning. Think of it as a high speed "Dual Action Cleanse" for your gun barrel! 100% Made in America.
