With all they advancements of AR-15s it’s easy to forget that the original intent of Eugene Stoner was to build a battle rifle, not an assault rifle. Â The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge. Â There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]
I’ve been reviewing Steyr AUG for months now and it’s taken that long to really give it a fair review. My time with bullpups was limited so traversing to a bullpup really took some time. It’s easy to compare a bullpup like the Steyr Aug to an AR 15 and then get lost in the […]
If you’re a regular reader of Loadout Room, you may have seen a few articles I’ve posted over the last year detailing the building, then improvement of an off-the-shelf AR-15 that was as light as I could make it while staying within certain constraints. I wanted a rifle that was under 6 pounds, with the […]
The FMK AR1 eXtreme is an AR15 Lower Receiver made from high impact proprietary composite polymer. I just put this lower together and I am impressed. The key to a good AR build is the lower receiver and the AR1 eXtreme is the strongest composite polymer lower on the market. The big news is a […]
Due to the experience, knowledge of the industry and skill level of the staff at the Loadout Room, we wanted to weigh in on home defense firearms. There are plenty of internet commandos that are quick to either recommend or shit talk certain firearms when it comes to defending your home, your castle. It’s time […]
Below is a video from Demolition Ranch showing the new suppressed .45 caliber Texan from AirForce. Because this is an air rifle, it’s not considered a firearm by the BATFE. And since it’s not considered a firearm, that integrated suppressor isn’t really a suppressor either. A loophole indeed considering the velocity of the projectiles exiting […]
CMMG’s MkG GUARD is an AR15 rifle that is chambered in .45 ACP and feeds from factory Glock magazines. At the heart of the GUARD is the patent pending Radial Delayed Blowback operating system that works to harness the strong recoil impulse of .45 ACP. After extensive durability testing, CMMG is proud to announce that […]
There are multiple ways to set up a short-barreled rifle. What comes into play is the amount of rail space you have and prioritizing that based on mission requirements. In the following video I take some time to describe why I have my rifle setup the way I do after having used the MK18 Mod […]
Savage Arms has reinvented itself over the last decade. From a traditional bolt-gun company to a do-it-all modern rifle manufacturer, the transformation has been impressive. While not a brand-new gun, I was able to get my hands on one of Savage’s newer rifles, the MSR-10 Hunter chambered in .308 Win. Also available in 6.5 Creedmoor […]
My first introduction to the M16-A2 was at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island during the 13 week boot camp. We learned how to drill with the rifle, disassemble, clean, and reassemble before we ever stepped foot onto the range during the 2nd phase of boot camp. We also had to memorize the Marine Rifle […]
