I would have believed you. You'e been known to shoot a rifle through an open window from a La-Z-Boy chair before! (Wow, that sounds really hillbilly, doesn't it?!)

Fantastic!

Have you gotten your 300blk upper yet?

 

[esrice]

Have you gotten your 300blk upper yet?

No but the path to 300BLK just got wider!

 

[HamsterStyle]

I made the decision last week that I am ordering my first suppressor next week. Then I started thinking that my second stamp is going to start in September or October. I figured it was going to be a can but now I'm thinking sbr. Then I stumbled across the 300BLK thread and I'm back and forth between 5.56 and 300BLK. Aaaahhhhhh!!!!!! Too many choices.

Just start your paperwork on the lower and make your final decision later.

 

[HamsterStyle]

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I've only shot maybe 50 rounds out of an AR and now I have decided to build one. Muhahahahaha. What could go wrong? If I'm gonna build it, may as well SBR it, right?
