>but it's expensive
So don't use a 300 blackout upper as your range toy or LARP rig? Still a solid choice for a suppressed defensive carbine. It even has good availability at least in my neck of the woods. No, you do not need to put 15,000 rounds per year through your exact defensive rifle to be ready for a burglar, just zero it so that impacts in the same place as the AR you usually practice with at the hallway/in your yard distance and exercise it enough to make sure it actually works.

My wife loves her 300BLK. Built it herself. Even with the supersonics, she smacks downrange and has fun doing it.
Expensive as shit to feed, but my wife is not using her AR nearly as much as I use my shit anyway.

For me part of it is just trying to steer people away from a "more guns then common sense" pit. Some of it is cost. And some of it is trying to get people to focus on mastering one platform at a time that generally does everything better (supressed 5.56 SBR).

But, in a world where the general populace are still SMGlets .300 maintains an appeal for compact suppressed builds. I wouldn't even bother with super-sonic ammo in mind.

You ever bought your wife a piece of workout equipment or cooking implement she swears she'll use all the time?

Once I know she's down bad on it, we'll reload. I have almost every piece of brass from her 300 she's shot until the day that it's a serious addiction like the rest of us and not just "my gun."

Then I'll spend the serious money on seriously refeeding it.

For me its use case is entirely home defense recommendations, and I find it sensible for that. A suppressed 300BLK AR is much easier to shoot well than a .45ACP pistol, and cheaper and/or more reliable than the .45ACP carbine/pdw/SMG options I am aware of. Suppressed 300BLK subs are super quiet compared to suppressed 5.56, and a budget 300BLK upper may not be as cool as going Solid Snake/Alejandro mode but it's definitely more affordable for the average Joe and it's almost always easier to shoot well with a stocked weapon than a handgun.

I am a tinnitus enjoyer, I recommend quiet if at all possible for defensive use.

I can respect that. I'm no stranger to obscure or unpopular cartridges, since I own an FK Brno PSD in 7.5fk and a vintage S&W Model 57 .41 Rem Mag. I absolutely love those cartridges and always thought a PDW/SMG designed around the 7.5fk cartridge would absolutely slap. And I've always wanted a Mauser C96 in .30 Mauser.

But most of my current collection has been built around common calibers: 9mm, .45 ACP, 5.56mm, 7.62x51mm NATO, .22lr, etc., to make it easier to keep them fed. My original collection was over 60 firearms of various styles and calibers and it became a pain in the ass to feed them all, even back when ammo prices were much more affordable. When it came time to start building my current collection I decided I would simplify things in the caliber department, especially for my "serious" guns, and only branch out into other calibers if the guns they're chambered in are ones that tickle my autism, like the S&W 57 or FK Brno.

The retro AR kinda bridges both worlds of being something that can be "serious" if needed, but also tickles my autism because of my interest in Cold War/Vietnam War weaponry, and then triggers the "what if" speculation part of my interest in guns. Like what if the Colt 607 either kept being iterated upon or perhaps was kept in some armory somewhere, some spec ops guy took a liking to it, and decided to make it more capable on the modern battlefield by adding optics to it?

You haven't lived until you shoot .375 Ruger. I'm delighted when I can find it for $4 per round. At that price, my range session is $160. At normal prices, it's more like $250 per session. The rifle itself is cheap by comparison. It makes me want an elephant or rhino to escape from the local zoo and terrorize my neighborhood, just so I can justify the expense. Sigh - maybe someday.

Maybe I am an ignorant nigger, but as far as I can tell there's still no consensus about whether or not you need to file paperwork on new SBR's after the last court case? Seems like the ATF just isn't going to acknowledge it?

Psa has a good writeup

Can I Convert My Own Firearm Into an SBR?

Possibly, if you are a member of one of the plaintiff associations in the case and your state and local laws allow it.

This is not legal advice — it is general information based on our understanding at this time. We highly recommend that you speak with a qualified attorney in your state before you reconfigure your firearm.

Who is a covered individual for this purpose.

You are covered for purposes of this section if you are a current member of any of the plaintiff associations in the case:

Gun Owners of America, Inc.
Gun Owners Foundation
Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc.
Texas State Rifle Association
FPC Action Foundation
Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms

As we understand it, the keys to making and possessing an SBR are:

Membership in one of the plaintiff associations;
Compliance with all state and local laws; and
Compliance with all remaining federal laws, including the marking requirements that were not enjoined.

This information applies only if state and local law do not prohibit or restrict you from making, owning, or possessing an SBR. Please know that a majority of states prohibit the possession of SBRs unless they are registered or in compliance with the NFA.

What changed. For years, if you owned an AR pistol with a barrel under 16 inches and wanted to put a stock on it, that configuration was treated as a short-barreled rifle under federal law. The same was true of configuring a complete rifle with a barrel under 16 inches. Either meant a Form 1, fingerprints, a photograph, registration with ATF, and waiting for approval before making the change.

The Court blocked enforcement of those making requirements as to the plaintiffs and their members (26 U.S.C. § 5822; 27 C.F.R. § 479.62(a)–(d)). So for a covered individual, the Form 1 process that used to apply before creating an SBR no longer applies:

No Form 1
No fingerprints submitted as part of that Form 1 process
No photograph
No waiting for separate ATF Form 1 approval before making the covered configuration change

A covered individual may configure an AR pistol with a stock. A covered individual may configure a complete rifle with a shorter-barreled upper.

See Important Limitations below.

There are also limits that apply specifically to SBRs. Please read all of the following.

Serial number and marking requirements were not enjoined — for anyone. The rule requiring a maker to add their own markings to a firearm, even one that already has a manufacturer's serial number, still applies to everyone (26 U.S.C. § 5842(a); 27 C.F.R. § 479.102). Whether and how that rule applies when a covered individual reconfigures an already-serialized firearm hasn't been addressed by the Court or ATF. We cannot tell you the answer, and we are not going to guess. Ask an attorney about this specific point before you reconfigure.

State and local law still applies. This ruling changes the federal landscape for covered transactions. It does not erase state registration requirements, permits, restrictions, or prohibitions. Some states outright ban SBRs. Other state laws tie legal ownership to registration under, authorization from, or compliance with the NFA — which, until those laws are changed, may prevent you from owning an unregistered SBR in that state. Those restrictions apply even if you are a covered individual. Know and understand your state and local laws BEFORE reconfiguring your firearm.

Again, we highly recommend that you consult with a qualified attorney before reconfiguring a firearm into an SBR.

I'm doing one right now, I engraved on the lower

First name last name
City state
ccrkba member

It's 150$ for a lifetime ccrkba membership

I have thought about just filling out the form 1 now that it's free and the markings are the hardest part and I still need to do them, but im doing this on princable at this point.

I'm a GOA member so I think I would be good under the ruling. As you say its not so much the paperwork filing, its more the principle of the matter.

I dont know why people are so into they g45 since they have the same size grip as the g17 which is what would print. Imo go with a g19 if you can even if its appendix but if you want that fullsize gripzone go for the g17, theres no reason to go for a g45. Especially with appendix.

Allegedly some sort of magic happens when you put a G19 upper on a G17 lower, or something.
The G49 is the better "carry" option, imho. You get the G17 upper on a G19 lower, which carries much better with the shorter grip, the actual hard part to hide.

Welp..... The .32 PPK that I wanted is OUT of STOCK everywhere and went out of production in December 2025 🥺

Walther says it'll be a MULTI YEAR production pause that'll probably end up with a redesigned ppk.... 🥲

It may not be the one that you specifically wanted but.... $699.99 with a threaded barrel. Go get your James Bond on while you still can!

I love my G49, and you're exactly right. I even have a spacer that lets me put a G34 slide assembly on it and frankly it runs perfectly fine.

300 BLK is very niche, I think. If others adopted this perspective, I bet it'd help them out. They'd realize it's still just an AR, so beyond checking zeros and reliability with whatever suppressor they run they don't need to spend a bunch of ammo to maintain their skills. What works for a 5.56 AR will definitely work for the 300.

When I first got into 300 I thought I'd need at least many magazines and as much ammo as I have for my 5.56 rifles. Years later I have 77 loaded magazines for it that I haven't touched because I'm very slowly working my way through the surplus of ammo I have for it. Not exactly a waste of money but really not far off. Learn from my retarded example. Shooting people with a suppressed SBR inside buildings/inside 100m? It's excellent. Is it way, way better than 10.3-12.5" suppressed 5.56? Not at all.

As I've said before, I only run supers. I do this because I got my rig to run reliably with 110-125 gr rounds and I saw zero reason to change that.

Speaking of 300blk has anyone fiddled with a printed suppressor for such a gun? And if so how much success was had?

I've used a PWS BDE 762 on mine for years and it's been great. I've also run the Huxwrx Flo2 762 Ti on it as well. I stuck with the PWS because it's a PWS rifle so my gaytism demanded sticking with the same brand.
 
if i ever another AR i'd like one in 300 blackout since the obsidian 9 is rated for subsonic but for some reason i'm a little leery on the idea of using a 9mm can for for it.
 
Gonna sell my PX4 GSD, this thing fucking sucks. This pistol has been out for over 10 years or something and the side of the grip is a textureless void for no reason, ZERO magwell beveling, worse height-over-bore than my m9a4, and it doesn't even take m9 magazines.

What the fuck is the point of this failed abortion of a gun? LTT charges through the nose for doing everything possible to make it suck less but to what end? The 92 series handguns are already good BEFORE all the upgrades you can do to them, and there's more aftermarket than just LTT.

I wish it was a good gun because I think the rotating barrel is cool, do I just need to buy a Grand Power?
