Who makes the shortest 300 blackout upper?

Post by XxMerlinxX »

Just wondering if you guys could tell me who makes the shortest 300 blackout complete upper? I've got a Cyclone on the way, which is fairly long, so I'm looking for a super short barrel to put it on.

The 9" barrel is about as short as you need to go. Getting any shorter than that and you'll have a hard time getting a forearm to fit.

No disrespect guys, but that wasn't his question.

Noveske makes an 8.2-inch barrel.

Noveske 8.2" upper
AAC 9" upper
Or build a upper using a shorter barrel

Thanks guys. After looking up some prices, I think I might try and build my own. I'm really worried about gas problems, but hopefully with enough research I'll be able to put something together.

Get yourself a good quality barrel like a AAC, Noveske, or Satern and you shouldn't have any gas problems.

Be sure that the barrel you get has the pistol length gas port. Then get a good set of SAE, metric, and wire guage drill bits (OK, you can probably get buy with just a set of SAE) and open up the gas port one size at a time until the factory 220's will reliably cycle.
