Found a good deal on some optics I wanted to try, and then managed to find This bag of 100 Hornady Rifle Bullets in 308 for blackout reloading!
20 $ per 100 is NOT bad, so I picked up a few bags to refresh the inventory.
Natchez order arrived….

Still hard to find factory ammo
Seems like unless I’m ok with converted (used) brass (with 223 headstamps), or REALLY expensive match ammo, the 300 blackout ammo is still a tad hard to find. I was just about to buy a bunch of brass and load my own, but it seems like I might as well brake the gun in with some cheaper factory ammo. So I found this, to be in stock in just a few days…
I finally did it!
I’ve been talking about it for about 5 or 6 weeks now, I’ve priced 6 different options to get it and 3 different ways to build it. The prices were all over the board, but I finally managed to find the option I was comfortable with, and pulled the trigger (figuratively) so that I pull the trigger (literally)
With the help of Wade at Dixie Ammo via GunBroker I’m the proud new owner of this:
16″ Nitrided 1:8: Twist Barrel, threaded 5/8-24 AAC 51T BLACKOUT™ Flash Hider “Full Auto” BCG KAC URX Rail Ready to drop onto your AR15/M16/M4 lower! Works with an AR lower with “Mil-Spec” push pin locations. |
I’ve also ordered a bare barrel as well, and I plan to build a 2nd upper from scratch, just for fun.
I picked the AAC model for a variety of reasons. I plan to suppress this soon using AAC’s suppressor, and this as a package gives a known result. The AAC stuff is the original, I love that the rail is a Knights Armament, since I thought I’d never own ANYTHING they made, and they are a “local” Florida company. Fit and finish seems fantastic, I’m eager to get it out there and see how it does.
Now I just need to buy some optics!
I also purchased a few boxes of Gunn Ammo’s 300 Blackout 147 grain FMJ Supersonic

Not usually a gun t shirt guy, but saw this today and just had to have it!
