My first 300 Blackout
When it comes to calibers I'm pretty set in my ways :9mm, 7.62X51, 7.62X39, and 5.56 cover 95% of the firearms I shoot on a regular basis. Even so, every now and then it is time to test the waters on something else and the 300 Blackout seems to be just what I needed. I recently got my tax stamp for a Bushmaster SBR and since a 300 Blackout upper pins directly to my registered lower it was a no-brainer.
300 Blackout on my PDW.
5.56 upper shown above the 300.
to tell the two uppers apart at a glance, I used two completely different front grips as well as muzzle brake/flash hiders. I'm thinking of using different color charging handles to ensure there are no mistakes in loading the wrong rounds.

I enjoy shooting my .300 blk...it's my primary HD gun. Get your self an FDE Radian or BCM Gunfighter charging handle to differentiate. I mark all my .300 mags with blue painters tape. 0 -
I'll check out those two charging handles. Blue painters tape on the magazines? Why didn't I think of that? So simple.0 -
Those really cool,nice job. 0 -
Mark nice set up
I was putting together 5.56 rifles and pistol had no desire to expand to another caliber but gave in and built a 300 rife and pistol
I use two different color mags black and the tan color to make a easy way to tell at a glance also used 300 laxer engraved trigger and dust covers on the guns , blue tape was a good idea so simple I guess I just over thought the concern :?
I keep saying that's it on adding more calibers it but the 458 seems to be calling :oops:
and I also started keeping the 300 pistol as a HD firearm handy0 -
Mark i have a question. I have a 556 SBR and from my understanding it can not have a vertical grip.
I was under the impression that the grip had to be a 45 degree angle instead of 90 degree.
Which is right? I personally want the 90 degree on mine if it is legal.0 -
You can put whatever you want on a SBR,....you are talking about the 'rules' for a pistol.dav1965 wrote:Mark i have a question. I have a 556 SBR and from my understanding it can not have a vertical grip.

The issues with the vertical front grips apply to the "pistols" which use a brace. Pistols cannot have vertical front grips, otherwise they become Any Other Weapons. Pistols can use an angled front grip. I have "heard" that if the overall length of these pistols exceeded 26 inches then they can have the vertical front grip, but I am unsure and would prefer not to take any undue risks.
Pistol with brace and angled front grip:
Top-bottom: Rifle, pistol, SBR:0 -
I have seen it often discussed on in gun groups on facebook that if the OAL of an AR pistol is over 26" then it becomes just a firearm (no longer a pistol) and can legally have a vertical grip. But I have not read any specific ATF literature. I believe they fall under the same loophole in descriptions that allowed the creation of the shockwave style shotguns with 14" barrels and the long grip that makes them a firearm rather than a SBS or a pistol. 0 -

Thats right i got mixed up. I have a two 556 rifles and 1 556 pistol. I got them confused. I have the angled grip on my pistol.
For some reason i got the SBR and pistol mixed up and thought they were the same. Which they are not.
I just did not want anybody to make a mistake and get in trouble. Thanks for setting me straight.0 -
Nice looking gun Mark.
Gotta love those short AR's.0
