Building a "Honey Badger" - 6" barrel 300 AAC Blackout

[3Gunner]

The Lannertactical stock won't work with 300 calibers.


Ordered the barrel today

6" Lothar Walther 300 AAC Blackout 1:8 Twist.
5/8-24

Not sure about the port size yet.

The waiting has begun...next is an order to NEA.

Ordered carbon steel in lieu of stainless.

It is BLACKout, isn't it?

I am fascinated with the honey badger. However, I will never be able to afford something that customized. I do have a question though for those of you with more experience. I am building an 8.5-9.0" 300 BLK AR pistol and I am looking for a shorter pistol buffer tube than the usual (RRA, Phase 5, PWS, etc.) to use with a standard milspec full auto BCG (coated in NiB) and possibly a shorter denser buffer with a shorter stronger buffer spring. I can't find anything anywhere. Is this not possible? This is my first build so I have no experience regarding how much blowback occurs. How far does the bolt travel back with 300 BLK ammo? I like the PWS pistol tube but it would look better with a shorter tube. I don't want to buy a shortened BCG though, which is what most of the posts seem to follow. Please send any info/experience my way. It will be appreciated. I love the 300 BLK variety of options.

The bolt carrier has the same travel in the 300 blk as the 5.56.

The barrel is now 7.5". Got advice that 6" could become a problem over time.

I have reminded NEA for the stock. I have Heard NOTHING back...

And yeah, bought myself a "starters kit" 500 pcs. of 300 AAC Blackout in subs and supers.


ENJOY !!!

They told me my mail was in junk hence the delay.

And it's ready to ship when I order it.

I have ordered the NEA stock a week ago, but have heard nothing.

"Ready to ship when ordered?"



I also got an email today with some good news from 'ze Germans'.
