As CMMG passes 16 years in the firearms industry, it’s clear that their company has seen its share of ups and downs in the market. Between the panic buying days of 2008 to the easy-going “salad days” of 2018, much has changed. So too the company has changed over the years, but only for the […]
Short Barreled Rifles or SBR’s are all the rage. A recent series of articles from Loadout Room writer Rex Nanorum dives into just how short you can go with barrel length. On the other end of the rifle is the buttstock. One of the three main interfaces with a shooter’s body. And CMMG has a […]
