While there are many products offering “fixes” for common problems on the market in this- the platinum age of Modern Sporting Rifles- many times a do-it-yourself approach is preferred. One such problem is that many rifles are a bit over gassed in an attempt to provide the system more energy to cycle thorough dirt and […]

Watches worn and approved of by the Loadout Room Team
Many of the guys on staff here at the Loadout Room have been to some places and done some things, and in the process have been able to figure out what works and what doesn’t. In other words, we have an eye for quality dependable gear. We recently created a Men’s Lifestyle category to highlight […]
Watch | Ghost Gunner 2 CNC machine intro
In anticipation of my upcoming review article and (official) review video, I wanted to drop a little teaser video about Defense Distributed‘s flashpoint CNC machine, the Ghost Gunner 2. A primer for those who aren’t familiar with the product: The Ghost Gunner is a small, open-source programmable CNC machine. Designed first for finishing 80% AR […]
AR-15 Lowers | The difference between Forged and Billet
Many of the millions of AR platform owners are content to buy a factory rifle and run it as is, trusting the manufacturer to put together a good rifle. For others, a more hands-on approach is the méthode du jour. This usually involves putting together a firearm starting with a stripped receiver, or at the very […]
Watch | Build a Glock pattern gun from an 80% receiver
Since the Ghost Gunner CNC mill came into my house, 80% receivers have been in daily conversations. Not just limited to AR pattern rifles, the 80% movement has expanded well beyond to Glock and 1911 pattern handguns, among others. In this video YouTube user “shooting tips and tricks” goes step-by-step through finishing a Polymer80 Glock […]
FIREClean | Strip it down and oil it up

Cigar Humidor | Essential support
Long considered an interest for well-to-do gentlemen of leisure, cigar smoking (and collecting) has seen a marked increase in interest from US veterans returning home from overseas. My introduction to the world of cigars came from just that place, in Oman. We were traveling to Afghanistan in early 2002 and stopped off for a day […]
Kershaw Concierge | A discreet edge
Oregon-based knife manufacturer Kershaw has a very diverse collection of pocket knives, but as of late, one unifying feature has pervaded many of their offerings: discretion in design. The Kershaw Concierge is a perfect example of that ennobling virtue, perhaps the common thread is a broad company shift, or possibly it is the earmark trait […]
Ranger Proof Rifle | Enhanced ELC Range Testing
Recently, I received a call from Graham Baates of GBGuns.org and YouTube fame (or infamy). He is also a contributor within the Hurricane Group Inc. family of websites, of which Loadout Room is a part. GB had received a rifle from Ranger Proof Arms, the Enhanced ELC (Entry Level Carbine) and thought it fitting that a Ranger should take part in the testing of something termed […]
Pace Yourself | An excellent CCW shooting drill
Those who carry a gun on a regular basis seem almost universally aware of the weight that responsibility holds. Rarely have I seen someone dedicate themselves to carrying a concealed weapon who didn’t also take the time to read up on their state’s laws regarding CCW and spend time training from a concealed starting point.
