ok, cool.

Edited OP section about my Ballistic Advantage barrel after finding that I was not affected by the lack of thread relief behind the muzzle threads. My YHM QD mounts have more than .060" of.... "lead" inside them before the 5/8x24 threads begin. So the brake mount butts firmly and squa...

Another barrel manufacturer dellet recommended, which makes 300BLK barrels specifically made to be used with Superlative Arms gas piston conversion kits, already pre-dimpled for the solid/set-screw type piston kits, and even with gas ports sized for your usage -- is X-Caliber . Here is a link: https...

I got to thinking it would probably be helpful to create a topic for whatever few of us there are who are interested in building their own piston-driven 300 Blackout using a Superlative Arms Piston Conversion Kit. They make a great kit and there ARE people who have this working well -- even if Super...

My pistol uses a KAK barrel, works great. It is a 10" 1:8 that I wanted. Their cheapy off-the-shelf model. NICE! Thanks popper - is this with a Superlative Arms piston conversion kit? Did you use clamp-on or set screw type? XCaliber is good also. They do seem to have many fans. I hope Dellet d...

Nevermind. Found everything I needed here:

Are the wild hogs you see in Texas and elsewhere OK to eat or should they not be eaten for some reason?

Thanks!

Hi, If it turns out I will need to enlarge the gas port any for a build I'll be working on, I am curious if there are a certain TYPE of drill bits I should plan to use. (ie, HSS vs. TiN-coated vs. ABC-coated vs. carbide etc.) -- especially for that first "next size bigger" operation. The b...
