    That’s a hard question… 300blk is better than 5.56 (considering barrel length) IMO for the likely ranges id engage human targets in(likely close range, and hope to never find out). 8.6blk is my dear hunting round hands down. Where I’m at deer are 50-150 yards. 8.6blk is quiet and hits hard.

    So 300blk for self defense… 8.6blk for hunting.







  • There’s 3 “AR-15s”. 10.3" 5.56 SBR, 10" 300blk SBR and a 13.9(with pin/weld so technically 16.1") 5.56

    There are 2 “AR-10s”. The long 20" one with the can on it on the left in 308. A 12" 8.blk SBR that’s hard to see.

    What can I say… it’s a fun and versatile platform, it’s like adult Legos. I built all of them from parts. The only work I had someone else do was the pin/weld and the FSB on the 13.9" one.

    There’s a century arms ap5-p(mp5) SBR hiding in there as well. All eform 1s.

    Other inventory in there is a Zastava AK (m70 I think), Henry Model X 45-70, A pellet rifle. My buddy’s 16" AR10 and Bergara B14 HMR 308.

    Edit. As for form 1 processing time they ranged from like around a month for the shortest to a bit over 90 days for the longest… So all over place. The wait sucks for sure. After the first few it gets easier (especially for cans). I want to say my longest form 1 was like 103 days or something like that. You gotta be almost there!

    And thanks! It’s definitely at max capacity… I could probably stuff more in if I tried… But it would be a huge PITA to do.




  • I didn’t really like the LPVO on my shorty ARs. Have a 510c green dot magnifier on my 10.3" 556 AR. And just a Romeo 5 dot on my 10" 300blk AR SBR and am happy with those.

    I threw the LPVO on the Henry X since it was just sitting in the closet when I got the rifle, thinking it would be temporary, I actually like it on there. The small eye box is ok because it’s not a gun for close follow up shots. It’s a 45-70, so it’s more of a hold on tight and I usually take 15-20 seconds between shots. Or else my shoulders gonna get real mad at me!
