3.75 inch 300aac Blackout Gas Operated AR15. I make the official claim as of this date to have the shortest 300blk functioning semi auto AR15. Of course with my luck someone already has one shorter.
First test fire  3.75 inch 300blk first test fire Second Test fire  3.75 inch 300blk does it work without the suppressor?  3.75 inch 300blk unsuppressed |

I prefer my 6". Shown next to a 8" 5.56. Yours is pretty cool though.
What handguard do you plan on running?

It will have to be a somewhat custom handguard, or something I make myself. |

Wow that fireball. Lol One was so you could get a decent view of the gun. The other was the singed hairs on my hands from test firing when I held it around the magwell.

Bring out the chronograph/ballistics gel for the next video and shoot some groups. It would be nice to see how practical it is vs just a silly range toy.
Does it have any hope of stabilizing the bullet with such little barrel? And assuming it does group less than 20MOA, how hard does it hit? |

This was not built for any real purpose other than I wanted to see if it could be done. Not really practical. I guess in theory it could make a cool PDW, but not a first choice for that. I have a few subsonic loads that I like for reliability, but as I said still got to get them on paper. I have managed to push a super load to 1300fps using the 140gr tracer. But I think I can get it faster than that. I am hoping close to 1500fps. But only testing will tell. |

Looks like there is gas coming out of the gas block. Are you bleeding some of the gas off at the gas block?

Great, job.
I think you may be surprised on accuracy. Ron from RMW XTREME a few years ago built a DI 45 ACP with a 3.5" barrel and that one was also just to see if it would work. And every time I shoot it I am amazed at the accuracy, no it is not a precision gun but out to 40-50 yards it hits a 6" steel target 99% of the time as long as I do my part. I think as long as it is built well and you keep loads within reason bullet wise it should be good to 50yds. I would be interested in what kind of velocity you get with different loads and if you can hit 850-950 fps it should suppress well. |

Nice!! I just built a 7.5” one to use with a Sandman-K. Maybe I will rethink it and build shorter.

Yeah, I'm curious as to why you made the can so long. The gas block looks adjustable, so can I assume you're looking to be able to shut off the gas entirely to get crazy quiet? Quote HistoryQuoted:

With a 3.75 barrel, it will have an issue getting very quiet. |

I would love to hear more about your tracer loads.
I asked a question about such a thing a couple years ago and got zero replays Tracer subs would be super cool. |
