:iagree:

I initially built a 5.56 but decided to do a caliber change since I'm not only a large caliber guy, I didn't care for the ballistics of the 5.56. It has its place but just not for combat/defense use. Yes. I said that. But that is my opinion and I don't think anyone here really wants to have a caliber war. :icon14:

And yes, that is a Lancer AWM. Honestly, I can't say much about it as it is still new and not tested yet. The rounds are a pain to load and it seems to be a little weak I think. But all .300 blackout rounds are at least a bit of an annoyance to load no matter what magazine you have. Even PMAGs. But at least I like being able to glance at it from any angle and know approximately how many rounds I have left. Also have two PMAGs strapped together. Now that is some serious firepower.

:iagree:

:tup:

BTW, Red... If you already have a 5.56 lying around you can always just buy a .300 blackout barrel and swap. As long as it is a direct replacement, e.g. carbine with carbine, it'll only cost you whatever the barrel costs. You can get 'em for $175 or so for an AAC. Mine is a Wilson Combat Stainless Steel fluted barrel. Those run $300 but are so worth it IMO.

Also, if anyone is interested in but hasn't shot subsonic loads, if you put on an adjustable gas block (i would highly recommend it), you can get recoil to be so low that your only indication that it fired it a hole in your target and the bolt locking back into place. Seriously smooth, light and downright awesome. Only thing better is a suppressor. :)

Good stuff Tigger..

Ah hah, I knew I'd find this somewhere...

Almost bought me one of them a few months ago! Instead I bought a watch. lol

Expensive watch :-). Let's see it

Sent from my Galaxy S3

Im finally gonna go shoot my AR and my 870 later this month.. (in florida) while on vacation.

Enjoy! You should have a blast!

Driving down or flying and checking them?

Driving down, with Nismo, they'll be completely broken down, and locked in my AR case in the trunk..

Cool. Have fun. Take enough ammunition with you, as it is hard to find now!

Thanks man, Im really looking forward to being back home.

Done. ;)

I will say, all-in-all, I saved about $2k doing the watch instead. Though I still have my .308 build I'm working on and that is probably going to cost a lot more than my .300 build. Time will tell.

Here's my SA XDM .45. I custom fit a Powder river Precision Competition trigger kit on here. Took almost 3 hours but was well worth it in the end. Also has the Heinie Slant Pro tritium night sights and a Streamlight TLR-3. Of course the light has to come off for day-to-day carry but if I go away on business for awhile I always have it handy.

The tritium night sights are something I'll never be without again, especially on a handgun. And fiber-optic fails in complete darkness so to me they are useless. My opinion though. Sending the slide off to SA for the sight replacement was freakin' fast and painless too. And cheap! So there ya have it. One more tool at my disposal.
