300 blackout? If anything you should have built it on a 7.62x39. It be better than that limpy .300


Since he bought the lower receiver, it always belonged to him. I wanted
to build one and he wanted to own a .300 blackout. I might want to build
another AR, but I'm not sure about the caliber. There are many choices.
Right now, I'm still "improving" my Colt AR-15. I've been trying out a
few different triggers on the ARs of friends. I don't have a problem
with the Colt trigger, but I do prefer lighter triggers.

My personal firearms limitations are the venues where it is conveniently
close for me to shoot and the price I feel like paying for ammo. Most of
my closeby venues are 50 to 100 yards, and for that spread of ranges, my
5.56 and the .357 rifle work fine, and the .22LR is great up to at least
50 yards and beyond if there is no wind. For the sort of shooting I
enjoy, there's nothing a .308 will do at my distances that my smaller
caliber firearms won't do.

There's nothing "limpy" about the .300 blackout round. There are
stronger rounds and there are weaker rounds. All depends on what you
want and what you want to use it for, eh?

I don't shoot squirrels, groundhogs, raccoons, chipmunks, foxes, or
prairie dogs for fun, profit, or for table food.
