Quoted: Do it. Its even a fun round without a can Can you explain what is so "fun" about it? Is it just 30 cal goodness out of an AR15 with minimal recoil? I like the idea of it since a lot of the hunting I do is close in. I would probably be building it on my CAV Arms lower. ( not sure what buffer to run) I'm kind of cautious about it since I don't want to have a lower that broken in half with no way to replace it since CARArms is gone now.  If I do get the bbl I will definitely have to get a 762 can. I already have a 22 and .223 can. I've been wanting a 762 can. I just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet. |

The best way to explain it is a modern day 30 carbine with much better bullet selection. Its recoil is mild and more a thump then a crack, if that makes any sense. Mine has had no issues getting it to run a multitude of loadings, both super and sub. |

I'm still here and 300 blk is still awesome
At the last IAHTF shoot I brought a bunch of rounds and let everyone have at it. The rounds were gone quickly, everyone enjoyed it and I am helping 2 guys put together uppers of their own. While it does not quite get to 6.8 in terms of performance, it is close enough in performance that the price difference between the two make it a winner. |

Flavor of the month. White elephant in a year or three. I'm going to have to disagree with that one. I'm never one to jump on a new caliber bandwagon, but this one is not an "answer in search of a question" as so many new flavors of the month are. I say it sticks around. It will never be as popular as 5.56 or .308, but it fills a great empty spot in my opinion. |

Flavor of the month. White elephant in a year or three. I don't think it's reall a flavor of the month. It has just about every advantage I can think of for a subsonic AR platform using all standard parts except the barrel. For around $500-$600 you can swap your upper and buffer srping back and forth in about 2 minutes and go from a standard AR to subsonic supressed. |
