Range Day Essentials

Curated Training Equipment and Supplies We Trust

For a decade, we've been curating military surplus from around the world. And just like surplus, we're very picky when it comes to serious, new production gear.

On this page, we're featuring our favorite items we personally use & abuse when we go out for a range day.

Whether you're brand new and looking for a good place to start, or a seasoned enthusiast looking for an upgrade, you'll find it here...

Range Bags & Supplies

A feature-rich bag we love From Grey Ghost Gear and extras to keep you & your tools clean

The internet is awash with arguments about which CLP is best, and we trust the one that's been tested to hell and back.

Keeping your gun clean and lubricated from -50F to 350F, C96 passed Military tests & our own testing with flying colors.

This is what peak performance looks like.
Grey Ghost Gear Range Bag

Grab & Go Train

Ample organization options, high quality construction, and the perfect size for all your essentials.

It eliminates the need to pack & repack a cluttered backpack or misplace loose items inside of your gun case.

You'll find everything has it's right place and stays organized
D-LEAD D-WIPES

Lead Is No Joke.

It's simple; If you shoot, you're probably exposed to lead and a whole bunch of other heavy metals that stick around on your skin and cause serious health problems.

A simple wipe of exposed skin (but especially your hands & face) after a range day removes Lead, chromium, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, nickel, silver, zinc, and other poisonous metals.

Protecting your body from 99% of these metals is why we use the hell out of these.

Grey Ghost Gear's custom, small batch approach lends to well thought out products that stand out in the market. After countless shooting trips we can wholeheartedly say their range bags are our favorite. It will get you to the range with the kit that you need for a successful day all while keeping it organized and handy.

On either end there are zippered pockets sized to contain folded electronic ear pro, range finders, staple guns, or IFAK. On the front of the bag is a zippered pouch that folds out to a handy range workstation for any quick repairs.

Two zippered diagonal pockets are perfect for Allen keys and other small tools, while the interior wall is outfitted with elastic loops for magazine and/or tool storage. The fold-down flap is covered with vinyl to make a workspace that can stand up to oil and solvents used in cleaning and lubing your weapon. The winning feature here is the rare earth magnet sewn into the middle of the work area that will attract small metal pieces & keep them from disappearing into the great range in the sky.

On the reverse side of the bag there is a flap pocket to accept a gun rug, targets and the like. Two exterior zippered pockets are ideal for score cards, batteries, or range snacks.

The interior of the main compartment is lined with hook and loop material, so you can configure the customizable divider and the removable mesh dump pouch for you brass hounds out there. The lid has mesh storage on the underside for even more organization of shooting supplies. The bottom of the bag has non-skid feet and webbing to reinforce the bag.

Guns are dangerous. And we mean more than just 'shoot yourself in the foot' dangerous, we mean erectile dysfunction dangerous.

Lead-based ammunition is the second largest use of lead in the United States. Lead is released at nearly every stage of firing a gun. From the gas blowback from firing the gun (especially if firing suppressed) to handling the steel targets after a range session, the potential for lead contamination is everywhere. 



Lead can easily be inhaled or ingested without even realizing. Once in the body it can be stored for decades. Lead poisoning affects everyone differently. It can be fast and aggressive, or slow with few noticeable symptoms and is known to cause neurological issues like mood disorders, memory lapses, and even the dreaded wang dangle.

Keeping the lead from getting inside your body is the best way to prevent poisoning, and that means making sure it’s not covering the outside of your body.

Regular wipes are great for cleaning off dirt and grease, but they don’t quite cut it when it comes to lead and heavy metals. Regular wipes don’t pick up heavy metals, instead, just smearing the metals around. D-Wipes use a special solution to break the static bond of the heavy metals and lift the particles up off the surface, trapping them in the specially designed fabric of the wipe. In tests, D-Lead wipes and soaps have been shown to remove about 99% of lead from a surface, while regular wipes only remove around 70%.

Lead poisoning is a serious matter that we all often overlook. It’s easy to just rinse off the gunpowder on your hands and call it good, but it’s not that simple. The lead you carry doesn't just harm you, it can harm your friends, family, and anyone you interact with, especially children. It’s like wiping your shoes, it just takes a minute, but you don’t want to track dirt on the nice carpet.

One of the most critical parameters to peak weapon performance is adequate weapon maintenance. Despite some opinions out there that say you only need to throw more oil in it, we think the best CLP on the market is G96 1053M Synthetic CLP. From -50F to 350F G96 will keep your firearm running smoothly — The special chemical formula is a unique combination of additives that both clean, protect and bond to the high wear surfaces of your firearm.  

It was originally developed for the US Army’s requirements to meet the MIL-PRF-63460E specification and tested by the US Army’s Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (essentially the National Institute of Justice for military standards). The G96 gun lubricant passed with flying colors. Including the portions of the test involving salt spray, dust, and cold. 

Additionally G96 Synthetic CLP keeps its lubricity & rust-prevention properties for 30 days in short-term storage, depending on ambient atmospheric conditions. So unless your gun is a safe queen, you can rest assured that your gun will stay lubricated even if you can’t get to the range more than once every couple weeks (understandable with ammo prices).

If you are looking for more information regarding G96 Synthetic CLP we recommend checking out both the product page and the FAQ on G96’s website which can be found here and here.  

Specifications

  • Works from -50F to 350F
  • Meets & Exceeds MIL-PRF-63460E & NATO S-75

If anything else, you should always have at least one of these on you. 

Tourniquets are easily the most important part of your IFAK. You can't ever have enough of them, whether they're on your kit, in your car, in your purse, backpack, or even just crammed in the pocket of your pants.

In the right place and at the right time, they're literally a lifesaver.

But we pick TQs that are actually good to stock instead of many "tactical" distributors looking for a quick buck off of a Chinese clone.

 

Why the C.A.T.?

The patented C-A-T® is a true one-handed tourniquet proven to be 100% effective by the U.S. Army’s Institute of Surgical Research. Tests proved that the CAT completely occluded blood flow of an extremity in the event of a traumatic wound with significant hemorrhage. 

It's easily used by both amateurs and experts, something many tourniquets alarmingly fall short of. The CAT features it's trademark Red Tip Technology® that does a lot more than you'd think — in times of duress, simple tasks can be awkward or challenging, and an easy to understand visual cue could save precious seconds. The ladder buckle doesn't jam up, and the whole process can be done one-handed.

The Gen 7 CAT utilizes a durable windlass system with a patented free-moving internal band providing true circumferential pressure to the extremity. Once adequately tightened, bleeding will cease and the windlass is locked into place. Unlike many Tourniquets, the windlass on the CAT boasts generous range to tighten it on extremities large and small.

Trusted by countless professionals in the field, the CAT is king. Don't settle for less.

 

Gen 7 Specs

  • Buckle has one contoured slit
  • Single routing buckle for faster application
  • Wide windlass diameter with convex grip rings
  • Rounded leading edge with thick plate
  • Thick windlass clip with buttressed sides
  • Red Tip Technology® provides visual cue during application
  • Fully weather resistant

     How to use it at home without your neighbors hating you:

    Want to train without the loud beep piercing your delicate, un-ops-core-AMP-covered ears? An easy way to muffle the sound is to cover the speaker grille with duct tape or electrical tape!

    Use with suppressors:

    PACT highly suggests AGAINST doing so, but if you wish to use your timer with quieter, suppressed weapons, you can disassemble the timer (do not do this wink wink) and adjust the sensitivity of the timer (this may void any warranty PACT provides). Note that at busy public ranges, this may mean it will pick up elmer fudd's over-under doing skeet shooting 100 yards away from you, but for long-can chads its worth it to train with your suppressor on.

    • Records Multiple Shots in a Single String
    • Displays the time to your First Shot
    • Review Split Times and each Shot Time in the string

    A retro stock design dating back to the mid 80s...

    Never Goes Out Of Style.

    The CAR Stock is a cloner favorite; from hits like Blood Diamond to Black Hawk Down, this clone of the N1 fiberlite became a cult-hit in the civilian world as it was in the military for decades.

    But is it still relevant? We think yes.

    At 4.2 oz, it's half the weight of popular options, but it manages to be one of the most durable stocks on the market all the while.

    It's slim profile makes it ideal for use with night vision, helmets, and gas masks too — That's why we use it on nearly every AR build we own.

    Whether you know it from the XM177, Colt Commando, That one rifle from Blood Diamond, or you're a diehard Delta Force cloner, the Colt Automatic Rifle or CAR stock is legendary for its simplicity & ruggedness.

    These are essentially retro-reproductions made by B5 Systems, who carefully cloned the 3rd generation collapsible stock known as the N1 fiberlite CAR-15 stock. It features a simple profile and a notably better look than the unsightly M4 "Waffle" stock.

    With such a slender profile, the stock is extremely light. At 4.2 ounces, it's half the weight of a Magpul CTR. Its certainly a lot more minimalist, but losing out on some minor features is a fair trade for the weight - You can even add a QD with some aftermarket options.

    So what about durability? Surprisingly, for a retro-repro, It goes above and beyond in terms of its construction — we use them on our own rifles, and have stood up to drops, mortaring, and a whole host of other ridiculous abuse.

    If the aggressive checkering on the back of the stock isn't for you, you could always go full Delta clone and put a buttpad on the back with a ziptie, too (you'll have to dig for one of these, they're hard to find).

    At the end of the day, if you're someone who doesn't aggressively cheek weld, likes their fighting rifle light and maneuverable, or just wants something unga bunga durable, look no further than B5's best. It's even in ranger-green-matching OD.

     

    Specs

    • Made By B5 Systems in the USA
    • Fits all standard Mil-Spec size receiver extensions
    • 4.2 Oz. (just under 120 grams)
    • 6.2" L, 4.35" H, 1.73" W
    • Fixed sling points, compatible with some aftermarket QD addons
    • Aggressively knurled anti-slip butt plate
    • Faithful clone of N1 Fiberlite CAR-15 Stock
    • Available in Black & Green

     

    Notes

    • Many users will immediately notice that the stock does not collapse all the way down on some receiver extensions due to it's length. If you're crazy, we've seen some users cut down the forward portion of the stock to allow it to collapse all the way and make it ultra-compact like the CAR-15 N-23 PDW. google it. it's cursed.
