Source for .300 BLK barrels?

[bottlerocket]

They had some at the gun show this weekend at the Model 1 stand, probably 12-16 barrels. Sold out in the first half of Saturday. All they had left when I got there was complete uppers.

I have my eye on CMMG. Seem to be decently priced. Last I checked a guy over on 300blktalk.com had an 8" Noveske for sale for just over $300, but still steep.

I read on CMMG's site about their barrels being compatible with most suppressors. Is it safe to assume that means they are concentric threads?

The only problem is that you can't find a 7-10" barrel for less than $300, and you can't cut a long barrel down because they're all carbine gas.

cut it, plug it and re-drill just my 2 cents hardest part is setting the correct length for the pistol gas tube

How much is your time worth? Because mine is worth a lot more than that when A cheap barrel is $150 and a great barrel is $350

Based on my current employment; my time is pretty cheap.

I am glad I have my Model 1 9.5" "test" barrel already. lol Maybe one day when the hype dies down I will buy a good one, maybe.

CMMG got back to me, it's a 4 week wait on a 8.5" $225 barrel. $249 if you want a gas block - pretty good deal. I ordered from them. This damn gun keeps getting shorter and shorter.

Thats not a bad wait considering the competition, IF they can hold up their end of it. I may have to get mine from them

As a subsonic rifle I know it doesn't matter... but just out of curiosity what type of volocity can you get out of 8"-9" barrel .300blk

Won a free can and jumped on this 300nlk train. Guess I need to dust off the reloading equipment, Im not paying $.90-$1.00/round through a machine gun.

But from what Ive read this is a pretty neat round.

If you have a registered M16 lower, can you put any upper you want on it?

You can do the same with an sbr.

It just won't be an M16.

The .300 blk is a low pressure round, the gains of a 16" barrel is really pathetic. The cartridge was designed for short barrels.
