300BlkTalk

November is half way gone, any word on ammo?

Thanks L1A1Rocker. I've been thinking once you have the 9" barrel, and the brake or flash hider you are going to need a pretty long rail to make it look right. It might be too heavy and defeat the purpose of a short upper. I'm thinking it would need to cover at least a 1/3 of the can to look r...

I already have an optic in route to me...

Robert,

Since you have been discussing things with Leupold, what are the odds of Leupold producing an M3 knob for the 300 BLK?

When did they say they would ship?
