I recently finished what was originally intended to be a budget build 300 BLK carbine to replace one I traded for a 16' boat (a whole 'nother story). The vitals are an Anderson upper/lower, a KAK value line 16" pistol gas barrel, and a Rise Armament trigger. The bullets used for its initial range sessions were handloads of Nosler 110 Varmageddons loaded for the rifle I no longer have. I got the scope sighted in last week to where it was shooting 1.5 inch groups at 50 yards. Not great but hey, the bullets were not loaded for this rifle, and they were getting the initial shots done. Today I got out again and things just fell into place. First set of shots: A small group and 3 wild fliers Second set: More shots to verify what was going on Third set: Moved scope setting down and took ten shots Fourth set: Tweaked it to the right a bit and fired ten shots. I had to change mags mid string because the first mag only had 7 bullets left in it. To be honest it shocked the hell out of me. This rifle is shooting these bullets better than the rifle they were loaded for.

On his FB page it shows the rifle with the upper and lower cut in half also. I was thinking the same thing about his creating an illegal SBR.

Weird! Normally its a .223 that goes kaboom when the guy loading the magazine somehow puts a blackout round into it. It ends up going bang, bang, bang....KABOOM when the 30 cal bullet tries to go down the .223 barrel.

Or in Scotland! Mature content

Probably been here before but its still worth another look:

An AR15 upper lapping tool from Brownell's and a 12.7" 6.5 Grendel barrell from the Grendel forum group buy.

My Grendel will run 5 rounds perfectly out of 30 round Gen2 Pmags. I've used them in a pinch for load development. Mags are the only pain in the azz with a Grendel.....oh yeah getting brass to reload is a PIA too.

Sold

I just checked. The buffer in the rifle is 3.8 oz

Also a possibility but much less adjustable.

My understanding is that it would indicate being overgassed ejecting to 1-1:30. With all that BCG mass slamming back and forth harder and faster than it has to maybe taming it down a tad could prolong its life.

I have a SA AGB on my 300 BLK suppressed SBR and it is working great. I've recently been thinking of an adjustable gas block for my 308AR due to the fact that brass consistantly gets ejected to 1:00 or 1:30. The rifle has an 18.5" lightweight Criterion barrel with rifle length gas from Fulton Armory and it has fired and ejected everything I have put through it flawlessly, but at the 1-1:30 range. If I remember correctly someone here has tried a SA agb on their 308AR. I tried the search here but came up empty. If the SA agb is not suitable for a 308AR what would you guys suggest? I've looked at Odin and SLR so far.

Welcome. Whereabouts in WI. There are quite a few of us here from all over the state.

Yep. We're one weird a$$ happy family.

Your very welcome. Those of us without a ton of readily spendable cash for guns have to enable those that do. Just doing what I can to keep the economy going.

I don't get here too often but I thought I could enable a little bit. https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/product-p/mi-marmr.htm Showing as in stock as of this morning!!

This is a .50 cal. CVA Kodiak Magnum muzzleloader built in 2004. It has performed flawlessly for me since buying it brand new. It is capable of handling magnum 150 grain charges but shoots just as well with 100 grains. I have used Powerbelt bullets exclusively and they have proven to be very acccurate in this rifle. The rifle's action opens by pushing the trigger guard down and forward exposing the breech plug. The scope is a Tasco World Class 2-7X32, model WA27X32 built in Japan and has served me well. The power adjustment ring on the scope is worn between the 2X and 4X marks but it in no way affects the function. The pictured sling is included. $150.00 + actual shipping. Buyer needs to inform me if FFL is needed for transfer in their state. None is needed here in WI for muzzleloaders.

Where abouts in WI are you? There are several of us here from all over the state.

Can do on the 8mm. It might be next year after deer season that I have enough to amount to anything. 2 of them isn't efficient on shipping.

We haven't boned out the meat yet. With these 200 grain Makers I'm only using 8.4gr of IMR 4227 so it can't exactly be high pressure. The trick with subs is to have enough gas pressure to run the action of the rifle but still be quiet. If you have a bolt gun then it isn't an issue.

This has been my first year of subsonic hunting and I thought I would share some info on what I have found. I built my 8" Blackout 2 years ago as a pistol then last year I jumped through all the hoops and SBRd and suppressed it. I shot my first deer with it last fall using a Barnes black tip which performed perfectly. Entry between shoulder and briscuit, exit out the side just in front of the left hindquarter. The deer went 40 yards and piled up. This year I wanted to load up some subs and "bow hunt with the rifle". Over the spring and summer I loaded Hornady 225gr BTHP and 220 gr SMKs and amazingly both shot to the same impact point at 50 yards with their corresponding 4227 powder charges, and the rifle sounds like a BB gun. Both bullets were running in the 970-980fps range touching holes at 50. I had high hopes for the Makers when I finally got them. Being twice the price of the other two bullets I cheaped out and loaded a ladder series of one bullet each for each charge, decreasing charge by .3 of a grain as I went down. This was just to find the charge that would get me into the 970-980fps range that my rifle seems to like. Once I had that I did a proper load ladder and found the charge that fell into that range also had virtually the same impact point and accuracy as the Hornady/SMK loads. Fast forward to yesterday, first day of WI state wide antlerless season. I'm watching a fawn poke around not wanting to shoot bambi when suddenly it looks up, tail goes up, and zoom off it goes. OK I'm now looking for what spooked it off, and here comes a nice doe (a buck would have really pissed me off cuz they are off limits for the 4 day doe season). She walks in, starts sniffing around where the fawn was and stops facing me almost straight on. An almost identical shot to last year except now I have the 200gr Maker loaded up. I aimed between her shoulder and briscuit as before and pulled the trigger. She hunched/jumped at impact and took off straight away from me. I settled down and got out to take a look. No blood where she was standing but there were deep digging footprints in the snow and I knew where she had gone. 5 minutes later after slowly beaming around with the flashlight I saw a silver eye reflection on the ground and it turned out to be her where she had flopped over. She had gone 30 yards before piling up. While field dressing her out I found the reason for no blood. The bullet entered high on her chest wall and it all pooled around her lungs and heart in front of her diaphragm. The entry wound through the skin was .308 size but it must have started mushrooming immediately and blew through a rib leaving a 1 inch diameter entry hole. The bullet passed through her lung, heart, and diaphragm, and her stomach had a nice entry hole in its front so I opened it up and lo and behold found the bullet. It had opened up almost perfectly even at the severe angle it had entered with. I'm not too fond of doe pictures but I am impressed with what the bullet looks like.

Hey unzman we're practically neighbors. I grew up in Wausau and now in Woodruff. How often do you get to the Wausau area? A 308AR with optic is going to run in the 10lb+ range on average. Mine is an 18" lightweight barrel and its about 10 on the head. Its a chunk to carry but I don't go far to my tree stand. One huge benefit to having a neighborhood street 200 yards from state land that I never see another soul hunting on unless its my son. Here is last years buck and the rifle that took him.

PM on the way.
