QUESTION: Why have all that .308 power and waste it without a full rifle? All the powder isn't even going to be burned before the bullet leaves the barrel. Doesn't it make more sense to build an AR15 Pistol in 300 Blackout with the Sig SB15 brace with an 8 to 12 inch barrel? Its WAY cheaper, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 60 round magazines available, no SBR paperwork (make sure you NEVER put a foregrip on the rail as that makes it an SBR and not a pistol), and the number of rounds that can be used to kill hogs in 300BLK are plentiful. All the powder will be used so no fireball out the barrel using the 12 inch 300BLK barrel. Just a thought. Although the P716 is very cool, I could do a lot with the $1600 left over after the 300BLK pistol build. |

While I agree that there will be some loss in performance out of the short barrel, it still has more power than a 300blk in the same configuration. It's a trade off for the short barrel that easier to carry through the woods while it still has plenty of knock down. I'm curious how it groups out to 200 yrds. |

I was looking at the 716 rifle and thought I wanted one until I got to handle it. Without a scope or magazine, it felt fairly weighty and I am used to carrying heavy weapons. I realize that any .308 will be heavier than an M4 and what you are looking at is a pistol. All that said, if it's what you want, I would be the last person to tell you don't get it. That's why I didn't work out at any of those "Anonymous" clubs I joined, I'm a facilitator, not a preventer. I am currently doing my own build that I will post up once all the parts get in and I get back to put them all together. Good luck with it and enjoy it.

Although the P716 is very cool, I could do a lot with the $1600 left over after the 300BLK pistol build. Putting a vertical fore grip on a pistol under 26" in overall length would make it an AOW not a SBR. If the "pistol" is over 26" in length then the ATF considers that a "firearm" not a pistol. The ATF uses 26" as the maximum length a firearm can be and still be concealed. There are also Georgia statues as well. Georgia considers a pistol to have a barrel less than 12" in length. |

Your velocity with a 150gr bullet out of a 10" barrel is going to be between 2200-2300fps. You're getting into .300BLK territory at that point. You could build the BLK with a 10" barrel and have a more compact weapon than the 716 or go with a 12" and be about the same length. There is absolutely no practical use for a 10" barrelled .308 except as a range toy. You're going to have excessive muzzle flash and blast. That's it.

Looks like a .308 using a 150g HPBT 2273 FPS out of a 10" barrel burning 90% of the powder with 1721 ft lbs. 14" is 2531 FPS with 2133 ft lbs and burning 95% of the powder.
300 blk gets 1976 FPS using a 150g FMJBT. Looks like my pipe dream might be dead with numbers that close unless I can find a 14" 7.62x51 barrel. |

If you like it, that is all that matters. Having said that, If you're looking for validation, I can't see it. I am currently building a Blackout for way less as a suppressed shorty hog gun. I recently purchased the DPMS Gen II .308 Hunter for my main pig/deer/whatever and FLIR platform. 18.5" barrel with suppressor adaptor for Saker 7.62 (currently paid for and witing for stamp). It weighs 7 lb 14 oz minus mag and optics. Runs great, not a single jam or issue yet, very accurate. I added the MI rail, Saker FH, and a Syrac adj gas block . The stock trigger is great. Nearly a grand cheaper with rebate. I love it. I'll bring it to the HTF shoot. http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff156/loftusj/DPMS%20G2/g2p13_zps22a61f2b.jpg View Quote Awesome - I'm looking forward to seeing your rifle RamblinWreck. I've been following your thread(s?) about this rifle because I want to build up something similar. Like you I've got a Saker 762 in NFA jail. In my case, I blew the last of my funny money on the suppressor and will have to wait until ~March to get the rifle. I was originally looking at the Recon because of the mid-length gas system and was going to have Adco re-profile the barrel, but I really like what you've done to your Hunter. -bob |
