Ladies V Seven

Ladies V Seven Nightingale | Quick Look

“I would like to see every woman know how to handle guns as naturally as they know how to handle babies.” Annie Oakley.  If you’ve been reading Loadoutroom articles for long, you’ve likely spotted more than a couple V Seven rifle and parts reviews and references.  Owner Joel Allen has been working hard to push […]

V Seven Weapon Systems Enlightened AR-15: Long live the King

V Seven Weapon Systems Enlightened AR-15: Long live the King

I’ve featured a large number of AR15 parts from V Seven Weapons Systems in build articles on this site.  The reason is simple, they are at the bleeding edge of AR parts quality.  This stems from their investment in high-tech alloys (such as 2055 lithium-aluminum, titanium and magnesium blends) as well as a commitment to excellence.  However, […]

Ultra-short .300 Blackout barrels round-up

Ultra-short .300 Blackout barrels round-up Part 2

In the second part of this ongoing series detailing as many commercially available ultra-short (sub-7″).300 Blackout barrels as possible, I’m not only adding two more to the lineup, I was able to obtain more ammo to test last articles barrels with as well.  The two new barrels are both from KAK: the first is their […]

Ultra-short .300 Blackout barrels round-up

Ultra-short .300 Blackout barrels round-up Part 1

Cutting edge firearms manufacturers are always trying to push the limits: using new exotic materials, developing new cartridges or finding new niches to push an existing offering into are just a few of the ways this boundary testing manifests itself.  While .300 Blackout is still a relatively new caliber, that hasn’t stopped manufacturers from chopping […]

Dark Hour GSOD

Dark Hour Defense | Glock compensated stand-off device

Dark Hour Defense is a new company, a recent offshoot from Joel Allen of V Seven Weapons systems.  After talking with Joel (and examining the first round of products to hit the Dark Hour website), it would seem that Dark Hour Defense is all the V Seven quality, minus the exotic materials.  Easy assessment when […]

Ultralight AR15 version 2.0 | 2 pound upper (part 1)

Ultralight AR15 version 2.0 | 2 pound upper (part 1)

Last year, I started Project Icarus: to design a very accurate, ultralight AR15 using off the shelf parts.  My goal was a sub-6lb rifle, with the suppressor and optic included in that weight and I wanted to keep the parts as durable as possible, so I shied away from the use of plastic receivers.  Since […]

V Seven 11-Position Buffer Tube for the AR15

V Seven 11-Position Buffer Tube for the AR-15

V Seven Weapons Systems has been producing some killer products for the AR-15 for a while now, but the items that really make them stand out from the crowd are their parts made from titanium and 2055 lithium-aluminum alloy (which is better than 7075 aluminum in just about every way).  Not long ago I had […]

SHOT Show 2017 | A Writer's Highlights

SHOT Show 2017 | A Writer’s Highlights

Well, SHOT show 2017 is in the books and as I could tell, a major success.  Range day was a blast (pun intended) and afforded a huge number of firearms and ammunition manufacturers the opportunity to have clients, distributors and the media put hands on the products they want to get out the door.  The […]

V Seven Weapon Systems | Enlightened Lower Review

V Seven Weapon Systems | Enlightened Lower Review

It wasn’t that long ago I put out my first article, an interview with Joel from V Seven Weapons Systems.  In that interview, Joel let me know he would soon be releasing ultralight upper and lower receivers made from 2055 lithium-aluminum.  Fast forward the clock a few months and the receivers are on the market, joining other […]

An Interview With V7 Weapon Systems

With such a glut of manufacturers producing for the AR-15 market these days, it seems to be tougher and tougher for a company to stand out from the crowd.  Every now and then a company manages to dream up enough new to reinvigorate the market  and inspire new builds around the country.  Magpul’s rifle furniture and the recent […]
