I'd agree that this isn't for someone wanting to customize. I'd be nice to find barrels of different lengths and port lengths for well under $200.That's cheaper than it was for me to re-barrel my M4 upper into a .300blk.
On the other hand: I got the faster twist for the heavier sub sonic bullets. The gas port was the length I wanted, and I used a low profile gas block underneath a Spectre length handguard.
However; it looks like the big manufacturers have already "shit the bed" in regards to offering affordable, plentiful ammo choices for these new platform.
now can you just through in a BCG and it fit fine? do you have to check for headspace, have it fitted? Common sense tells me yes.
I think the conceptual nature of the 300blk serves a purpose, and if properly followed thru, would be a nice addition to the market. However; it looks like the big manufacturers have already "shit the bed" in regards to offering affordable, plentiful ammo choices for these new platform. This is the same thing that happened to the 6.8SPC.
Good for them for making it decently priced.
Now, if they start making a steel cased version, I'll buy an upper tomorrow.
