| So i want to get into the .300 BLK world, and have been looking around and a thought struck me. Its not something I necessarily want to do because all it does is save you $200 and gives you a bit of a headache, but is it possible to get an 8.5" barrel and pin a suppressor similarly to how we pin flash hiders on 14.5s to get the overall barrel length to 16 in order to avoid the Form 1 for the SBR. Additionally, if you did, how would you clean the suppressor? |

If you pin the tube so it is not removable get a suppressor that has a screw off cap the tube would stay on the bbl then you could clean the internals. A second option would plug the holrfill with solvent let set then drain and rinse,or ultra sonic clean the can while in the bbl.
Last choice make it a pistol and use a rifle buffer tube. |

You already have to pay for the stamp for the suppressor. NFA is more addictive then regular ARs in general. And both are not cheap. You might of well suck it up and pay for two stamps, one for the lower and one for the suppressor. This allows you to move the suppressor to different rifles and you can change different uppers for the lower.
Just my opinion. |

Yes you could do that. But if you went through the hassle of getting suppressor then a SBR shouldnt be difficult. IMO its worth the $200 to be able to change barrels, make changes, to the rifle, etc...
Also, most barrels will wear out before the suppressor will. And on most of my builds I have to remove the suppressor to take on/off the rail and to adjust the gas block. Trust me, welding your suppressor to the barrel to avoid a $200 stamp will be WAY more hassle and likely cost you many times more than $200 in the long run. |
