SO i have colt LE920 and i was wondering if i can slap a 300 blackout upper on that or is there going to be a problem with that mechanically any info would be highley appreciated thank you guys

That will work fine. You can even use your same magazines. Good luck finding the ammo.

 

[Badfish55]

is it really that bad i mean finding ammo.

 

[jimbobborg]

Yes, it is. IIRC Bill Wilson has some in stock, though.

 

[Badfish55]

Is it worst then 5.56 cause ammo for that is damn near immpossible to get lol

 

[jimbobborg]

I don't own one yet. Have you tried reloading? There's plenty of free .223 brass at every range I go to...

 

[Badfish55]

Have you tryed any of the Bass Pro shops ?

 

[TANK222]

Yes, it is. IIRC Bill Wilson has some in stock, though.

Sorry I could not help myself.

 

[jimbobborg]

They're out now, too.

 

[TANK222]

Yep. The only ammo i've been able to find is the Remington premier match at crazy prices. Cabelas did have some whisper I picked up for $25 a box but that's a long drive.

alright so you guys know all dicks that i know of get a new shipment of ammo every monday and friday most of the time they get a couple of boxes of 5.56 the shipment ussaully get there in the morning befor they open so that means stand in line and the ammo is fairly cheap

The .300 is designed to do exactly that, the only thing that really needs to be changed is the barrel. These other gentlemen are correct that it is really hard to find ammo right now for it tho. Much of the ammo I am finding is over 1.50 a round but you can reload for less than 1/4 of that price.

I found some 300 a few weeks ago but it cost about 1.75 a round. I plan to reload so hopefully in the long run, i'll drive that down. It did take several weeks to find it

Will it work? - Yes.

Is ammo hard to find, and pricey when you do find it? - Currently yes.

Reloading does take some of the pain out of it, but even components are getting tough to get ahold of right now. Powders, primers, bullets - a lot of places can't keep it in stock right now, and that gets annoying, but it is what it is.

No, that's John Wilson. Bad form.


OP, the ONLY difference between a .300BLK rifle and a 5.56mm rifle is the barrel. All other parts are exactly the same. For reliable cycling you *MAY* need to change the buffer and/or spring, but the only real way to know is to try with the one you already have and go from there.

Thanks guys I appreciate all the info btw does anyone know where I can find a 300 upper
