Thanks. Just bought a Geissele SSA-E to try. Will probably put it in my full size 556 DDM4 rather than my 300 BLK pistol. Who knows. Love these toys. 😀

Yep, clear Gorilla tape so I can still see the windows. It's worked fantastic for years on many of my firearms. I had AKs for years until the .300 became more of my favorite round so I just transferred the method over from that platform.

You can also get spacers/couplers as mentioned above which keep the magazines essentially side by side in the up position. That's actually the better way to go about it, but seeing as I don't see myself low crawling or going prone anytime soon the taped method doesn't bother me much.

Anyone want some free stock AK furniture? It's just laying around.

Nice ! Same here. You planning on getting a can or keeping it for supers. My first experience at the range was that there's a huge difference between subs and supers. Did you go for an adjustable gas block?

Unfortunately sups are prohibited here in illinois...bummer, and no adjustable gb. Just running an H2 buffer.

I was reading deep into ballistics of the 300blk and even though the subs are quieter the supers have much better ballistics.

You’re exactly right. I was attracted to the round because of the subs but the super’s may end up being the best part. Two completely different rounds though. I’m going to adjust my gas block down for the supers and see if that settles the gun down. If not I am getting some tungsten weights and may end up with an H2 like you. Regardless my can is 6-9 months away so I’m going to be shooting supers for a while.

300BLK subs are designed for suppressed shooting of steel. There's nothing like lofting a 230gr round 100yds down range... *pfft* wait for it... ping!!

Are you guys reloading? I can't imagine paying retail on factory ammo right now, 300 was bad enough before the shenanigans started.

I am not reloading but seriously considering it. 300 is priced insanely high. I won't even go to a table because I'm afraid of using some up.

Electric car owners get range anxiety... well I have bullet anxiety lol.

Good luck with that. You'll find that primers are the slow part of the supply chain.

Nope but will have to if this keeps up. I have a couple hundred rounds but will definitely need more. Plus the subs just beg for reloading. You're right about the primers. Its hard to think you're going to save money when they're going for 30 cents a piece.

Honestly I'm thinking about a PCC to run all the 9mm I have until the insanity subsides. That and I went for an Omega 36M can that will handle both.

Not hard to come up with reasons to buy a gun is it. "Honey this is going to SAVE you money in the long run "😁

I stocked up on 300blk years ago when I started. I have plenty of brass saved. I have bullets, primers and powder on hand. Just waiting for my supply to dwindle before I start reloading. I’m only reloading 9mm right now. Getting equipment to reload 357sig. I will tackle 300blk after that.

Yup. It's hard to come by anything. Do we expect any change within the next year or two?

I don't. Considering which political party is in charge, I expect things to only get worse for gun owners.

Buy what you can afford, learn to live with less, dry fire more, and vote for the future.

Anyone else see the Ed Brown 1911 mag upgrade program? I guess you can send in 1911 mags in any condition and get an Ed Brown mag in exchange for $10
