Noveske 300 AAC BLACKOUT

Noveske Rifleworks will be changing our 300 Fireball barrel production to the 300 AAC BLACKOUT.

We will also make complete rifles and uppers when ammo is available for test firing.


I'll also put up info here when I determine if our 300 Fireball barrels are compatible with 300 AAC BLACKOUT ammo.

EDIT 10-07-10
300 AAC BLACKOUT ammunition is safe to use in Noveske 300 FB barrels with a serial number of 290000 and higher.

Noveske 300 FB barrels with a serial number less than 290000 or without a serial number will need to be checked before using 300 AAC BLACKOUT ammunition. We will be setting up a program to send in older barrels for inspection and reaming if needed.

Any idea of availability and barrel length?

I was planning on picking up a 10.5" 300 Fireball from you as soon as they were back in stock.
When I called last week, I was told that they should be available in about two weeks.
Will this new development increase this wait?

Probably some delay. I will be testing barrel lengths and gas port sizing for function with the 300 AAC BLACKOUT ammunition.

Will you take backorders over the phone and if so, will the price point be the same as the 10.5" Fireball?

I'd sure love a Noveske .300BLK barrel!

Maybe I'll go ahead and pick up some reloading dies and start loading up some ammo while I wait :)

We will not take backorders yet. We may take backorders when we have decided on barrel lengths and rifle/upper configurations.

We will make a 16" barrel for sure, other than that we are going to take a fresh look at barrel lengths and function.

That is the real questions, if they will be compatible. That will determine who jumps on board.
