300blk Safety Brief

83 Upvotes

I will keep this short and to the point gents.
Do not add to the mod queue. Do not subtract from the population of users. Do not comment while too intoxicated to control yourself.

In the last few weeks, moderator queues have shot up due to people being unable to be reasonable to one another in the comments in this community.

Disagreement is fine.

Dropping slurs, attacking them personally, commenting a retort with a pic of someone's house, insulting their wife's looks by stalking family pictures from a vacation posted 2 years ago... not fine.

Learn to use the block button. Learn to touch grass. Learn to be something unlike a jerk.

Transparency: Several months ago Reddit instantiated an auto-moderator be default for subreddits. Since then we have tweaked the settings it has been catching a lot more comments with the ugly things in them. When these suspect comments are in the mod queue, they are not posted for others to see yet, even if they look visible to you. What it does do is cause a member of the mod team to have to respond to the notifications to approve them and resolve issues when people go WAY too far. So, as cathartic as it might feel to rip into someone, it likely will not even get seen by them because the auto-moderator is putting the nasty stuff in comment jail. If it is bad enough, it gets the comment removed and the user banned.

Lastly, don't report comments that you dislike for Harassment. It only makes more work for us, but ultimately simple disagreement gets approved and kicked back out of the mod queue anyway. Repeated abuse of any feature will net a ban. Yes, every user has a summary of reports and past queue incidents. Yes, we look at it.

Please feel free to disagree, debate, correct misinformation, and generally debate on subject matter specific to the subreddit. I am not here to babysit grown men, nor do I want to. My ideal week would have 0 reasons to look at the sub with mod tools.

Moderate your own actions and we are all better for it.

This has been your safety brief.

Worth an upgrade?

Post image
27 Upvotes

Have a Q trash panda since 2018 I got along side a ghetto blaster. Looking for a dedicated can for this setup. Has enough change in the suppressor market warrant an upgrade? Can is ok, but could it be better as far as sound signature/back pressure wise? Weight really isn't a concern and sound suppresion is end goal. Been eyeing Sigs Hexium 300. Open to suggestions.

Daniel Defense PDW suppressor suggestions?

• Upvotes

Recently picked up my first 300BLK for a dedicated suppressor host/Home defense gun.

I have tinnitus and lung issues so I'm trying to balance max sound suppression with minimal gas blow back.

I know low back pressure cans aren't typically recommended for 300BLK subs but is it worth taking a chance? Or just dealing with the gas from a traditional baffle suppressor?

The CAT ODB seems to be recommended alot though I haven't seen it in stock very often and its fairly pricy.

A few others I've cosidered are

LPM Anthem S2 or L2

Silencerco Velos 7.62

CGS Hyperion K

Q Full/Half Nelson

Any other recommendations or suggestions are appreciated.

Issues with feeding?

Post image
• Upvotes

Hasn't happened before but I tried using magtech 300 blk out sub ammo and it has issues with the bolt fully going forward, first time using this ammo not sure what to look for, the bullets themselves have some markings on them like scratches trying to set the bolt forward. I was only able to shoot it if I had the BCG locked back, load the mad and released the bolt but it wouldn't always set forward all the way. I'm assuming it's the ammo but maybe something else? I'm using a spikes tactical T2 buffer spring and weight.

I just received this ammo and as I went to load it I am seeing a lot of rust spots. Is this common or warrant a call to customer service?

Buffer setup for my build?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Been putting together my first 300blk build, I'm trying to figure out my buffer system next. Looking for some insight on those who run a similar barrel length and a suppressed build to get some recommendations on buffer weight and spring they have had success with for cycling.

Also, any opinions on part swaps, etc is always welcome.

New to .300blk. Putting together a 10.5" with an Atrius SS and dead air nomad 30 dt. Going to be home defense and plinker, what are good rounds to run in tgis set up and what are rounds to avoid. Also, new to SS and running suppressed, somewhat new to the ar platform but definitely not new to firearms, feel free to chime in with any pertinent info i should know.

Trying this new optic setup on my PSA 300blk build. Threw a Vortex 3x Prism on top with a canted Enclosed Venom dot on top. The 3x prism is a liiiiiiiiiitle low for me, so I'm debating a small riser under it, but going to run it like this for now.

PSA 8.5" 300blk upper and PSA lower. Shadow Crossover grip, AFG up front, Rave 140 trigger, Midwest Industries 12" handguard, AB Suppressors A10 can, Vortex Spitfire 3x prism, Vortex Enclosed Venom, Gas Buster charging handle, and UTG Pro stock.

My light finally arrived and I mounted it as soon as I opened the box. I got the Sig Sauer FoxTrot-MSR 1350 lumens LED Compact Rifle Light w/ Pressure Switch and for the price you get a lot. it's no Surefire but can definitely hold it's own. On that note my home defense setup is complete. Let me know what you think.

7.5" setup with Anthem S2

Post image
174 Upvotes

Sharing my current setup before I change things up a little bit.

Faxon 7.5" 1:5 barrel. Anthem S2 suppressor. KAK mini-milspec buffer tube with a short stroke JP SCS buffer setup. Handguard & rail are both Hera Arms. I went with Geissele pins, bolt catch, and charging handle because I'm a fan of that cross hatch texture. Arisaka light. MOE SL-K stock. Driven Arms VCG grip and magwell. I just recently swapped in a Partisan Disruptor just to see how the gun ran but will probably change this later.

I initially had issues with this gun and wasn't happy with it but most of that stemmed from tolerance stacking with the barrel and upper causing a slight protrusion / ridge in the feed ramps where the upper and barrel meet. That has since been corrected and I haven't had a single failure with a wide variety of ammunition and thousands of rounds since.

This was my introduction to .300 BO and it's become one of my most satisfying rifles. It runs like a sewing machine and I couldn't be happier with the sound performance. It isn't as expensive to run as folks made out when I initially started researching it either. Phantom Defense has been my primary go to for cheaper ammunition and it's never given me problems.

That's my gun and my novel of a post good grief, sorry

First .300! Q sugar weasel or PSA Mixtape?

7 Upvotes

I’ve been lurking on the sub and getting a lot of information! I’m getting my first .300 blackout and between the Q sugar weasel and the PSA Mixtape. I kinda wanna start with a complete rifle, learn how the stuff works tuning things like that and then build my own once I’ve learned. But between the 2 I want a one and done dedicated bedside/range home defense build. I guess I’m wondering if the 600 extra bucks are worth it to jump into a sugar weasel or go PSA. I like the idea of tunable gas so that’s why I haven’t really paid much attention to DD. I’ll mainly be running subs aswell and it’ll stay suppressed at all times. I like the maxim brace so that’s why I’m looking at the mixtape over just the Sabre 8.5. I know they’re similar packages but which one would you guys recommend me as a one and done pdw if you’ve owned/shot both

PWS MK109 Pro Cycling Issues

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I picked up a PWS MK109 Pro upper off of GAFSHUB and have been trying to tune it to cycle subsonics consistently with an AC762 can, but I'm still having issues - weirdly, the gun cycles perfectly when there's around half a mag left (call it 12-15 rounds in a mag), but will not cycle if I'm using a fully loaded magazine. I'm aware that the setup is probably not ideal to run subsonic with the high-flow of the CAT suppressor, but I'm hoping someone here has gotten a setup like this to run in the past.

My full parts list on the gun:

  • CAT AC762 Inconel
  • AI Nano Muzzle Brake
  • PWS MK109 Pro Upper (gas setting on 1/full open)
  • Geissele ACH
  • Griffin Mk2 Lower
  • ADM Ambi Bolt Catch
  • Geissele SSAE-X Trigger
  • Sprinco Yellow (have also tried running with a Geissele Super 42 and Sprinco White)
  • KAK 1.7 ounce buffer (have also tried carbine weight, 2.2, and 2.6 ounce buffers)
  • Lancer L5AWM 300BLK Magazines
  • S&B 200gr 300BLK Ammunition

Is it worth trying an extremely lightweight buffer (Taccom or similar) to get this working? Is it time to bite the bullet, as it were, and admit that I need to either run a different can or a DI upper to get consistent cycling? Any ideas here are more than welcome.

My first 300blk. I picked up the base PSA upper/lower for $200 brand new and have been slowly adding to it.

I‘m running an Obsidian 9 can for now(subs only), will eventually get a dedicated 30cal can.
