More than likely the Bootleg inc upper, adjustable carrier, and handgurd. SOLGW barrel, bolt, gas block. Either VLTOR A5 or milspec tube with Geissele Super 42 spring and buffer. AAC 51T brake. Undecided on lpk, furniture, and optics.I wanted to order one of those lowers awhile back. What else are you planning on using on the build?

Thanks, I would like to check that out. I'm thinking of going 10.5" with 1/7 twist. Do you recommend a different setup?I have two 300 blk's with 51t's. A noveske 8.2 and AAC 9 inch. So if you happen to find yourself in the westbank and go to bayou dragon on the weekend, I wouldn't mind letting you hear what it would sound like.

Oh I like some Noveske too but damn their barrels are high. I know, you get what you pay for. I have a friend that tried 10.5 300 blk shooting sub's through a 1/8 twist and had trouble with the round keyholing. I mainly want to shoot sub's so I have some research to do on a barrel and loads.I had 4 total. 10.5 inch DSG with adjustable gas, 8.5 radical firearms, 8.2 noveske, and 9 inch AAC. I sold the 10.5 inch b/c I have too many 10.5 5.56's and didn't want to get confused plus, it's 300blk, the selling point is you can go SHORT! The Radical was just to see if I liked the round, and I sold that off once I realized I did in favor of the AAC. Then came across a good deal on the noveske, and I'm a noveske whore so I bought it.
Crazy thing is, though I like both the 8.2 and 9, one of them shoots supers more accurately and one shoots subs more accurately. I don't remember which is which.
D.I.Direct impingement or gas piston?
I bet it was frustrating to get it right but that's the beauty of it. I would like to check the setup out. I'm going to run an adjustable carrier that's why I'm going D.I.I just completed a gas piston upper build with a pistol length gas system. Tuning it was challenging but not impossible. I had to enlarge the barrel's gas port, swap the piston spring with something lighter, and swap the carbine buffer spring for a 300 Blk specific buffer spring. It runs really good now and locks back on an empty mag. I'm still waiting on the ATF to approve my suppressor and it was accepted in Apr. I have a Wilson Combat 1-8 Twist, 11.3" which I picked up on sale for $227.
I'm west of Lafayette. If I'm in the area I sure will give you a shout. What are you asking for it?I have a Syrac Ordnance Gen II adjustable gas block 0.750" barrel with a pistol length tube. PM me if you are in the New Orleans area and interested.
$75 for the Syrac Ordnance Gen II adjustable gas block. And yes once I got it running I was very happy and thinking through the process of timing the gun is the best part. I was really worried about opening up the barrel port and possibly breaking off a bit in the port; I was very careful and it all worked out.I'm west of Lafayette.

That's a good price, I will be in touch. I've heard of people breaking bits off in barrels, can't be a good day after that.$75 for the Syrac Ordnance Gen II adjustable gas block.

I was thinking about the A5 system on the 300 blk. I hear good things about the system how it tames bolt bounce on 5.56 and was wondering how well it worked on the .300.When I built my 300 blk upper I used a Ballastic Advantage barrel. It was the 10 inch modern series barrel with pistol length gas system. I got it on sale for 140 with pinned gas block. It has cycled supers and subs and locks back on a empty mag suppressed and unsuppressed. Also I am using the Vltor A5 system with a5h3 buffer with green Springco spring.

Most of the time happens when the bit doesn't go in straight. You have to have a vice, bit, and cutting oil. Then triple check the bit alignment before running down the hole. Any deflection touch up the bit to barrel alignment. All that and I was still holding my breath. ;-)That's a good price, I will be in touch.
