IWI Galil ACE 5.56×45: Ultimate Fighting Rifle?

Some may call it heresy for a 15-year Army veteran to be an AK fan but I am.  I like simplicity and reliability in a fighting rifle.  The fewer moving parts the better.  As an American I also appreciate the availability and versatility of modern 5.56x45mm loads.  Add to that the abundance of magazines and […]

Ranger Proof Enhanced ELC Carbine: Tough by Design

AR-15s have been described as the “barbie dolls for men”.  I prefer to look at them as Legos with which we can build any rifle, pistol, or Short-Barreled Rifle style we want from a $400 plinker, to $3,000 safe queens.  The available mix of after-market and factory parts is bewildering and offers more choice than […]

AR vs AK: Which is Better? - TheArmsGuide.com

Best Modern Sporting Rifle: AR vs AK

One of the fiercest, and longest running, debates within the firearms community is this: which is the better “battle rifle:” the AR or the AK. The topic has been done to death, so I thought I’d feature the two rifles in a different setting: working together. The video embedded above features an AR-15 and an AK-74. […]

The SCAR 16S | A First Look

The SCAR 16S | A Quick Look

The SCAR 16s is the civilian derivative version of the SCAR L. SCAR pattern rifles were designed to be mission adaptable for various special forces units inside the United States and around the world. The design is much different than the AR15 family of rifles. They’ve eliminated certain compromises the AR 15 had to deal […]

Five Worst Rifles Ever: The Don’t Buy List

The title says it all. We have compiled a list of the the top five rifles never to buy. It’s a short list to help you, our audience, save money and keep your stress level under control. Anyone who is honest with themselves, and has been a gun enthusiast for any length of time, will […]

CMMG Mutant | AK and AR combined

The fanboy debate on AR15 vs. AK47 has died down to an extent due to the former shifting the narrative away from a caliber specific matchup, to a comparison based purely on the merits of the operating system.  A few companies have tried to blur the line by combining traits of the two platforms, creating […]

CMMG Upgrades the MUTANT: The AR That Uses AK Mags

More than three years after CMMG’s Mk47 MUTANT took the shooting world by storm, the company continues to update and refine the platform.  With the release of the Mk47 AKR and Mk47 AKR2,  CMMG has upgraded the MUTANT with an ambidextrous safety selector, its new RML15 M-LOK hand guard and new ambidextrous charging handle. The […]

Stag 10S .308 Battle Rifle: a Little More “Boom” Than “Pew”

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.  The original design, the AR-10 was for the .308/7.62x51mm cartridge.  There are several reasons why that model was droped by the military and the M-16 was born, but […]

The Steyr AUG – The Great Austrian Bullpup

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 […]

Ultralight AR-15 ver 2.0 | Final testing

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 […]
