Recommendations When Purchasing
Recommendations When Purchasing
- make sure you get a late model with .300BLK recoil mechanism
- 16" barrel with 30rnd mag. XB16, XFD16, XG16
- get the 9mm and .300 Blackout Conversion Kits
Note: Although the new .300 Blackout is considered better for hunting, there is the danger of a shooter getting mixed up and chambering the cartridge in a rifle configured for 5.56 and resulting in injury. The 5.56 is better for longer range shooting but has less stopping power for medium to large game.
