12" All Billet Integral Suppressed 300 Blackout Upper We at Houston Armory are excited to announce the market's first ever line of all Billet, Integrally Suppressed, 300 Blackout AR uppers. Our unique design features our own 8” proprietary stainless steel match grade barrels inside of our own Houston Armory Hand-guards. Our Integrally Suppressed Hand-guards are 2.4 inches in height and width and are constructed using 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum. Inside of the hand-guard you can find our own Stainless steel gas block with our logo along with our revolutionary monolithic baffle. During the design process we tried to make as much of the internals of our Suppressed hand-guards in stainless steel as we could to ease with carbon buildup and removal while still providing a light manageable short barreled rifle for increased manipulation capabilities during CQB/LEO and hunting applications. This upper is driven by a coated M16 (heavy) bolt carrier group and it all comes in at under 5 pounds. We designed this upper receiver with the hunter and operator in mind and we believe this is will make the gun to fill the gap. It provides the end user with a short barreled rifle with a full 12" rail, in a suppressed package all while delivering a hearing safe supersonic 300 blackout round at over 2300fps accurately and effectively.

I'm patiently waiting for the arrival of my barrel, and that picture just makes the wait longer no matter how short it actually is going to be. The good news is, that I actually have one of those barrels ordered.... DBAR |

DBAR these barrels are the tits! ive seen a 10 inch .30 cal suppressor on top of our 8" match barrels, no impact shift with the suppressor AND 1/2 MOA easily as long as the shooter can hold a SBR that steady ........................

how hot do the handguards get after a 30 rd mag dump of supersonic rds? how hot after another 30 with quickish a reload?
|
|
Dang. This looks insanely cool. The price markets me out though...
|
|
So with an integrated supressor when it needs service do we just send it back?
|
|
Quoted:
Very very Nice! Can you also make it it in 223? We are ironing out the final stuff and are working on a 5.56 version. Yes. By this time next year you can expect to find a full line of 300 blackout and 5.56 integrally suppressed guns. Quoted:
how hot do the handguards get after a 30 rd mag dump of supersonic rds? how hot after another 30 with quickish a reload? your going to have to shoot a lot more than 60 rounds through the gun in order to get it hot enough to matter We have plenty of these guns that have been through multiple courses and are operating just fine with the high round count courses. The hand guard gets hot enough that we advise you either run scar panels or wear gloves. But aside from dropping 2 beta mags in full auto through our gun in less than 2 mins we really dont see any overheating issues Quoted:
So with an integrated supressor when it needs service do we just send it back? nope, the end of the suppressor has 2 holes on the front of the baffle stack so that it can be taken apart with an standard AR15 armorers wrench to clean, and as a matter of fact, the whole inside of the suppressor is stainless steel to ease with carbon buildup and removal. Check my video up top in the original post, it shows diss-assembly of the upper receiver. |

Is HA planning any integrally suppressed 16 inch barrels, for states that don't allow SBR?

might want to correct your spelling in the leading pictures for your product... Intergal made it for almost 2 months?I only do this out of jealousy

Intergal made it for almost 2 months?I only do this out of jealousy yes, lol, im aware of that.....so, my Asian in the office that does all of this for me is completely aware of this, and he is sorry. He told me to tell you he is too busy working on a calendar full of THIS to stop and fix it. Now in the mean time. What do you think of our upper? |
|
It almost makes me want to move to a state where I can own a SBR. I'm curious though, why the old school MAC can looking spiral behind the gas block? It doesn't look like it can serve as a baffle. What is it's purpose?

What is it's purpose? we shoot piggies.....so to us, its our signature pig tail barrel design but for the technical guy it can be increased surface area to help aid in cooling. |

134 db? Seems kind of loud compared to other Integrally suppressed rigs I have seen (and heard).

Quoted:
134 db? Seems kind of loud compared to other Integrally suppressed rigs I have seen (and heard). whos? and what is their definition of integral? how long is their gun as well? there are so many different things that come into play that can make a difference. Quoted:
How's the gas in the face? no gas, you don't even notice it. Think about it like this, yes you get blowback on a suppressed rifle. But how big is the suppressor. Well look at the volume of ours. More space for the gas to expand so you get a lot less blowback. |

How is this any different from the leonidas that is truly the first integuraly suppressed 300blk out upper? Other than price. How can you make this claim when theirs have been on market month's prior to yours hitting market.

I bet you never watched the video in my original post that explains how our rifle is put together and how the design functions have you? |
|
Quoted:
Does this upper require two tax stamps? Well, if you bought our complete Integrally suppressed SBR then yes, because you need one stamp for the SBR (lower receiver) and another one for the Suppressor (upper receiver). But if you already have an SBR'd lower receiver then its just one stamp for the upper. |
|
Yes I did. Only difference I see is that your tube and handgard are one piece. I will have a leonidas in my hands tomorrow and will be able to compare to your 16" version.
|
|
you know seeing the upper without the handguard and seeing the size of the monocore begs the question,
does the monocore make a good muzzle brake? If it was stand alone with no tube. |

Quoted:
Any idea when you'll have the 12" forged model back in stock? they are in stock now! shoot us an email and get em while you can |

Quoted:
Very nice but too rich for my blood and 2 stamps as well.. we understand its cheaper for most people to buy an ar for 1600$ and then buy a suppressor for 600$ (which wont be a good one) buy a short barrel for 300$ and then pay 400$ for the two stamps .......wait......that comes out to 2900$ doesn't it? and now was that an ALL billet AR? was that a match grade barrel? a match grade trigger? Our intention was to set a pretty high bar, yes i understand its expensive but you also get quite a bit. People who are buying our guns and coming in to our shop are quickly realizing that. |
|
Is this available minus BCG, charge handle, and Magpul AFG for cheaper? I already have above said components.
|
|
I am certainly interested. Does it come with the option to buy any ammo? Can't seem to find any for my current 300 blackout and don't want to be stuck...
Thanks Ben |

I was quoted $3050 for the 16" version. I thought it was $2900?

I was quoted $3050 for the 16" version. I thought it was $2900? you were quoted $3050, we've emailed back in forth, you have it in writing, where did you get that number from? phil why dont you just email me back with the questions you have instead of posting in this thread, like I invited you to do. There is no current listed price anywhere for our 16" Integral Billet gun so I dont know where you got $2900 from. The current price we are selling these at is $3050. This price will change however. In February, just as I told you in our email, its going to go up an additional $150. |

Trying to get in touch with you guys with no luck. :(
Back from SHOT yet?
|
|
Trying to get ahold of you guys. I talked to Taylor last week but I lost his number. I'm all set and ready to process the payment for my order! Somebody contact me please!

if it has an integral (non-removable) supressor that makes it 16" it's not a SBR, right? (like a permanent flash hider/compensator)
|

(like a permanent flash hider/compensator) well our 12" SBR model can be disassembled, our 16" upper obviously will have a fixed/welded baffle stack inside of the hand guard making it a 16" long barrel. yes you are correct, so the only stamp you would need is for the suppressor. |
