    The 300 Blackout lives :-)

    I got round to making the 300 Blackout (thanks for those who commented to the earlier post), based on a Howa 1500, I cut the barrel down and reduced the profile.

    I then tried a couple of baffle options but have one working extremely well with a full over barrel suppressor.

    If you use the 220Gr subs it is just silly quiet, with a mate commenting he could hear the bolt/firing mechanism working.

    it is also very comfortable to shoot the 125Gr high velocity ammo without hearing protection.

    The whole gun weighs in at around 3.2 kg and is only 990mm long. 300Blk was never a long-range cartridge but this would make for a great easy to use pest gun.

    Now just to get the parts anodized and complete!
