Need suggestion for 300 black out pistol

[caliboy]

Looking to get a 300 black out pistol. I'm looking into the Olympus arms 10.5" complete upper but would like other opinions on what's out there as far as a completed one or building one. Thanks!

If you already have a pistol lower, then there's probably 25+ various uppers out there.

From what I've heard, (take it for what its worth) you want to stick with pistol-length gas systems for reliable function, if you get out to carbine things don't work as well. That may have changed but its what I remember from doing lots of reading.

This one looks quality.

Yup, already have 2 pistol lowers which brings up a question a forgot to ask. 2 of my lowers are AR platform, I can use that for a 300 black out pistol correct? I wanted to do one .223 and the other 300. Already have pistol buffer tubes for Both.

I heard about AT&T....bad news....

You can Google the

SMI 300 Blackout AR Pistol

About $1500 bucks as near as I could tell and since Hickok45 published his video they probably don't have the infrastructure, money, cash flow, to provide product in a timely manner..

It doesn't take much to overwhelm a small gun shop.

The pistol does appear to be well made and good quality. 300 Blackout makes sense in an AR Pistol. If memory serves, the barrel is 8.5 inches.

There's 4 or 5 models of 300blk pistols on the Primary Arms website....under "AR15 pistols".

Been doing it for years. Welcome to the "free market" as CGN would say

Check out the MK18. I have one in my sights for the near future to top my 2 80's.

If your tight on cash tho, Adam Arms and Radical Firearms or something have been posting a lot for upper/pistol suggestions. Not sure about quality of either tho.

I built one using Rainer arms 10.5" barrel. Kx3 ,Pistol gas, pistol buffer. Thing runs great. Much lighter recoil then I had expected.

I decided I wanted an AR pistol, but after researching the 5.56 ballistics from a short barrel I decided to go with .300 Blackout. I went with the 9" AAC barrel- I figure they should know what works with this round.

The AAC 9" upper in 300 BO is quality. Reliable and accurate. I have one on my ar pistol.

I noticed the one that show "CA compliant" are sold out but there are a couple that are available but does not say CA compliant. Would I be able to purchase one of those? Also, is the radical firearms brand of quality?

That Mk18 is sweet! hefty price tag tho but I know DD makes some good quality parts. Definitely added to my list of possible uppers for my second pistol.

After more research, Im seeing alot of suggestions for the AAC. I think Im getting closer.

Don't know the make/model, but this AR pistol in 300Blk reached out to 550 yds.!!
