I'm about halfway through getting out of 5.56 to get back into 300.

If I don't score any from whatever is left in production I guess I'll just dump my mags and SBR 15/30 lowers and go to SR-25 only.

Damn.

It was in one of the groups, either Jack or Reed specifically stated they would keep making the lowers. It was whatever thread it was first brought up in, so unless something changed in the last month they're still making them.

Wow dumping 556 completely for 300? Interesting, Do you shoot high volumes ?  Just curious

I made the reverse decision a few years back and regret it.  Better SBR performance, shared cans with SR-25s.

I'd say I'm medium-low.

Gotcha. 300 seems cool but crazy expensive to shoot a lot. How much did it cost pre-chaos?

I got range quality ammo at 450/1000

Still cheaper than feeding my SR-25s.

Premium SD ammo was a buck a round but that's the same in 5.56 and 7.62 also.

Not to sounds like a complete neophyte...  but given the relative substantial overlap between a 5.56 300blk SBR (mags, lowers, manipulations, barrel length, etc) wouldn't training with cheap 30 cent 5.56 rounds still keep you sharp on a 300 blk rifle?

Wonder how many more of these they plan to make. Just glad they're keeping them stocked right now as I get my roller delayed collection in order. Ordered another 93 rail and a 91 rail...thinking about ordering one more MP5 rail also.

What was range quality 308 at pre crazy? I only ever shot x39 and 5.56. These Sr25s are new to me. Sucks even Tula is a 1$ a round right now

Oh that's good to hear. I was thinking about dumping my last two AKs now that I have the SR25's. But that cheap x39 ammo has me still hanging on to them. I think if 308 returned to normal tho, they'd be gone.

I guess it really is crazy out there my uppers on GB have generated a ton of interest.  I've never had so many inquiries on GB sales before.

If KAC can step up production it will just be money in their pocket.

It’s probably like anyone else. Multiple calibers mean multiple machines and production lines. Why not pull the .300 bo and convert its production line to 5.56 with demand as it is. It doesn’t seem like SR-30’s sold that well. I don’t know that for sure. I just would see them in stock more often than anything else. KAC added 6.5 a while back so maybe it was just time to drop their least profitable line. I do not live in CA but I hope they will still make the SR-30 marked lowers for people who do unfortunately live there.
  If I ran a manufacturing company I would concentrate on 5.56 and 7.62 only. I totally understand their step into 6.5 with the mil asking for it.
WTB: ARMS swan sleeve for PRI gen 1 or 2 tubes. Sleeve is not notched on the bottom to fit gen 3 barrel but. Looking for any early PRI tubes and charging handles.

My guess is that the SR-30 turned out to be too much of a "commercial" item.  There was probably interest from some units early on but I can't imagine there have been a ton of huge .gov/agency buys on them.

The uppers were using in-house made CHF barrels for a while now.  Since they are the same caliber as the -25 if they ever scrap a barrel during production to a chambering mistake (unless the ODs are already turned by that point) or something they could always retain instead of throwing them away and potentially later on do more runs.  Don't know how often they have to toss/reject a barrel for QC reasons though.

All the other parts are standard SR-15 fare, except the rail is shorter than the CQB rail.

Depending on mandrel the chamber is created during hammer forging, or otherwise after.

I’m not trying to single you out or anything homie, I just filling in some hammer forge details.

Edit: Aaaannnnnnnnnd I re-read your original post and I’m going on a tangent to what you’re saying. I’ll stop, hammer forge discussions can go elsewhere.

I am not sure if you are in the KAC/LMT Card Group on facebook, but there have been a few people looking for the CQB in there. It would save you the fees on GB. You may even find someone to do a trade.

Hello Gents, been a while. Just curious if there's still a market for a BNIB 870 RAS since shotguns aren't as popular as they were in the past. What would be the current value of one? Please do not blow up my inbox, not looking to sell it just yet and if I did, there's already a mental list of OG's in this forum that I would offer it up to first anyways out of respect.

Thanks I'll check it out. Listed in EE for now for my minimum SR25 glass price of 2800$. If it doesn't sell quick I'll look into that, or throw it to the GB savages. I have mixed reservations selling it, as I really have no idea what the future holds with this stuff. This year was so darn expensive though, gotta turn off the tap.

Just as an FYI, in the EE you are already competing with two other lower priced CQB listings that have been sitting unsold for a week. At $2800 plus shipping I imagine it’s going to sit for a while. If you are looking for top dollar, GB is going to be the way to go.
