Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated June 2026
Loadout is reader-supported and participates in affiliate programs. This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255 (“Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”).
What this means
Some of the links on Loadout — particularly the “Buy” links to optics, mounts, and accessories — are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer. This costs you nothing extra; the price is the same whether or not you use our link.
It does not affect our recommendations
Affiliate relationships never influence which optics we show as compatible with your firearm. Compatibility is determined by verified mounting data, not by who pays a commission. We show you what fits — the affiliate link is simply how we keep the tool free.
Our partners
We work with firearms-industry retailers and affiliate networks (such as AvantLink and the merchants within it). We only link to reputable retailers, and we do not facilitate the sale of firearms or ammunition — our affiliate links are for optics, mounts, and accessories.
Questions
If anything here is unclear, reach out via our About page. We'd rather over-explain than leave you wondering how we make money.
