AR15 300 Blackout Pistol Project

Very nice! Any particular reason you went with 300 blackout? Im not second guessing, just purely curious!

Well, lets see... Balistically speaking the round is awesome , it can be suppressed, optimal barrel length is 10", I can convert this to a 556 in about 5 mins by only swapping bolt and barrel. Those were the major factors in my decision.

Why would you need to swap the bolt?

yeah, typo.... Brain fried from work... No bolt swap

I was scratching my head also... thanks for clearing that up.

Awesome. I have a buddy who love 300 blackout. I've yet to get him to give me as good of an answer as that!

For me it's (1) compatability of mags, bolts, everything but the barrel, although just having a whole upper is easiest. (2) efficiency and power of 300blk on short barrels. (3) the ability to run supersonic, subsonic, suppressed, unsuppressed with [typically] no extra tuning

Pretty much exactly what I said All great reasons!

Nice pistol! The Seekins machining looks top notch. Who did your engraving? Picture of that? I was not very impressed with my first engraving and will be looking for someone different to do the next.

Johnny, I sent it off to Brandan Bunker of Bunker Arms.... He's top notch
