9 times out of 10 they will run great if you set it up right. That 10th time will have you spend $400 in heavy buffers, adjustable gas blocks, buffer springs,.... Etc. only to find that you have a weak ejector spring, 5 dollar fix. Been there done that.
Also be careful of the blackout cult. They are like scientologists. When I joined it was "dude get a 300 sbr to be cool". So I did. But to enter the next circle "dude you have got to get a can" so I did. WhI'll waiting on my stamp I was offered entrance into the holiest of inner circles. I mean it unlocked new forums and threads I had never been into before. "Dude if you really want it quiet you have to reload your own". So I am.
Suffice it to say that this frankenbuilt 300 blackout 8."5 SBR that I was so damn proud to have built, and stamped, for under 600.00, and left over parts from prior upgrades. 400 in the can, then the stamp, and lord knows you just stop counting when it comes to reloading and keep telling your friends your saving money. Meanwhile all the dies, experimenting with loads, and with various brass cleaners. Then the fact that your so damn proud of yourself you just can't let it sit in the can so you blow through it as fast as you can make it, and you end up spending 3x what you were spending to begin with, but hey your shooting 5x as often
So go ahead SBR's are fun.
