Multi functional tools are often the best tools. When a multi functional tool is lightweight, pocket size, and functions in coordination with tools you already own then it’s even better. The OST 2.0, or Operator Survival Tool, checks all the above marks. It’s a lightweight system that’s only a little larger than a tube of […]
Stippling is about making your weapons and equipment as comfortable and functional as possible, while adding some personalization to the mix.
While in the midst of building up my ultralight AR-15, I came across the AR-15 Parts Weight Database (PWD). This wonderful little resource has compiled both advertised and user-verified weights for a vast multitude of AR parts and accessories which is great for planning out your build, as well as discovering products that you hadn’t […]
Everyone has their own routine when they hit the range: most will set up targets, many will check their zero. From watching a few casual shooters at the range, next comes practicing their ability to stand straight up and sling lead to an area +-3 yards around a target that’s about 50 yards away. Don’t […]
A while back I had an AR that identified as a hunting rifle and needed an optic and needed a mount. Warne provided a mount, and Nikon provided the optic. After a bit of shooting a scope equipped AR 15 I was getting really sick of that teeny tiny mil spec charging handle. With the […]
Sometimes the status quo isn’t enough. In the rifle industry, 30 round magazines are the status quo. They work and work well. They are a good compromise between size and capacity.

The pistol grip of the AR-15 is one of the easiest parts to swap out. Unfortunately it seems that no matter which grip you try it’s never the perfect grip. Even if a grip fits your hand nicely, it may not be so comfortable once you get into your shooting position. This is because 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 […]
While fancy flat triggers show up nicely on Instagram feeds and super race triggers can improve the group size and split speeds of talented shooters, most AR owners are still using a basic mil-spec trigger. In fact, many agencies are prohibited from straying far at all off the beaten path. As ALG’s website states, the Quality Mil-Spec trigger […]
The world of firearm customization has grown massively in the last few years. People are bored of black guns and want something new. We’ve seen the rise of Duracoat, Cerakote, and even hydro dipping. Most of the time to get these services done you have to send your gun away and wait and wait, and […]
