Opinions on this 300 upper?

[BDurk]

Looking to build out one of my lowers....thought this 300 upper might be fun to play with....not looking to go high end....but don't want to buy junk either....anyone have experience with this company or have an opinion on the product?

Looks like a good deal. Probably on par with all the other in-house assembly operations. Thanks for sharing.

Specs don't look bad.

For the cost, it could be a smoking deal or a steaming pile. Only one way to find out though...

That is almost too cheap to walk away from............

If it runs at worst its a spare upper.

Price is "very" good - like buying a barrel and getting the rest for free.

My only concern might be that the 16" barrel combined with the pistol-length gas system would be hard on the equipment. Probably not a factor unless used with supersonic loads. Have an adjustable gas block on my .300, heck, all my AR builds.

If your going to shoot standard/super-sonic ammo, then I would avoid this.

Just my opinion, but I don't think one gun can shoot both sub and super without some changes being made.

If this is "designed" to shoot sub, than the gas port hole is big enough for a huge gas-dump to expel all of the gasses before the bullet leaves the bore.

That same gas port hole may allow way too much gas to be expelled when shooting super-sonic.

Newton. Smart man.

Forgot to mention...promo code 'SLICK' gets another 30 bucks off.

Not bad. I specifically decided against getting a 300 BLK barrel over 10.5" as after 9" you pretty much fall victim to diminishing returns in regards to barrel length/accuracy, but if you want to use a rifle build instead of going a "pistol/brace" build, ain't bad.
