Anyone in need of a super affordable way to hammer hogs? Or maybe just have a different caliber to play around with at the range?
Up for grabs is a Suarez International AR15 complete upper (with charging handle, BCG, etc) in 300 Blackout.
To my knowledge this upper has never had a round through it. The guy I got it from claims to have never shot it, and I have never shot it as well. There is no indication on the bolt that it has ever been shot, and there are minimal marks anywhere internally (my guess is it has been dry cycled a few times, but never actually "used")...
If youre unfamiliar with 300 BLK or how AR's work, one of the really nice benefits of the 300 BLK is everything is compatible with a standard 556 AR15 with the exception of the barrel. It uses the same magazines, same bolt and carrier, etc.. If you already own a typical 556/223 AR, all you do is push the two pins that connect the upper and lower, remove the 556 upper, and the attach the 300 BLK upper.. then insert a magazine loaded with 300BLK and youre ready to go..
The upper has a 16" stainless barrel, free floated key mod handguard, suarez international upper receiver, and what appears to be a standard mil-spec BCG and charging handle... These uppers were selling for about $350 from what I can tell back when SI was selling them... the cheapest, entry level option that I can find on Palmetto State Armory's website for a 16" 300BLK upper DOES NOT include a bolt carrier group/bolt/charging handle is on sale right now for memorial day at $229 (plus shipping, plus tax)... the cheapest, entry lvel option I can find on Bear Creeks website that has a 16" stainless barrel (also includes BCA/charging handle, etc) is $204 (plus shipping, plus tax)..
This one, shipped to your door (doesnt have to go to an FFL since the "lower" on an AR is the "gun".. the "Upper" is just a component) = $175...
The first "I'll take it" gets it..
What I particularly like about the 300 BLK is if you run a suppressor, it can get extremely quiet and has almost no recoil at all.. it becomes controllable to the point that a 5 year old could easily use it to take a deer/pig, etc..
Even unsupressed youre talking negligible recoil and "bang" for a 30 caliber.. shooting 110gr bullets youre looking at roughly 30-30 ballistics down range (300 blk is slightly slower.. but still more than capable of taking down deer, pigs, etc)...
If youre a reloader, its a very efficient round.. it takes minimal powder.. most of which burns within the first 8" of the barrel..
Im just in the process of trying to consolidate calibers (Ive got way too many different things to load across and swap out some stuff that I dont really use and use the money to pick up some things I might actually use.. Ive got 2x other 300 BLKs (complete rifles) in the safe.. so this one is highly unlikely to ever get used anytime in the near future..
Thanks!
