I have a upper, lower, and 9 inch rail that are begging to be built. The only problem I have, is i am unsure of what to build. I am leaning towards 300BO since i have a suppressor. I am open to all suggestions. Thanks

The more I shoot 300blk the more I like it, especially in SBR/Pistol form.

I have a 9 inch rail though... that's what I'm going to build the new gun around.

9.5 300 blkout will be just fine

If I'm not mistaken, most usually go with a 10.5" 300 BLK barrel based on comparison of velocity : short barrel ratio.

You could build a 5.56/223 AR Pistol using a 7.5" barrel with a muzzle device under the 9" rail like shown below. That pic is not a great example, but it shows the muzzle device under the handguard.

300 blk is awesome suppressed.

I reload and cast though so not as expensive for me to shoot.

I have a 10.3 noveske barreled 300 blackout and run it suppressed.  I love it, but I'm collecting parts now for the next build and am leaning towards a 7.5-8" 300 blackout.  I like the idea of some of the suppressor being recessed under the rail.

In full disclosure though I already have a lone wolf glock ar9, an 11" 556, and a 12" 6.5 grendel, so that's why I came back to the blackout for this build. As was mentioned above, it is bad ass suppressed!

I feel like 9.5" is the ideal barrel length for .300 BO. I would have no problem going an inch shorter or longer, but wouldn't want to deviate any more than that.

5.56 under the rail gets HOT fast.

10" Blackout.
I think the handguard is 9.25" ? (MI gen2...or is it 3?)
Even before the can got home, shooting subs at steel, is just FUN.
