300 blackout with AK reliability

[mannythegreek]

Hey all,

Having only limited experience with this cartridge, I'm looking to purchase a platform That is reliable As my ak. I have Heard mixed reviews on Daniel defense, I haven't heard much on AAC, PWS, or Noveske.

I'm not looking for 300 yard shots, just relentless reliability. Is there any brandy you can recommend to me just based on this Characteristic alone. I want to higher end platform. This will not BSB yard, and it will not be suppressed. Only supersonic if it makes a difference. I'd be interested to know your thoughts

Thanks

Ak reliability meaning exactly what? I have failures with Ak family of weapons. While I have nothing for experience with 300 blackout chambered carbines what makes you think that a well made 300 blackout m4 style weapons will not be reliable?

If you stick with the known brands your odds of finding a dependable rifle go up. I have one .300blk which is a home build and once I found the right bolt it performed like clkck work. Once these snows melt and find more ammo or brass I will really put it through its paces.

Point well taken. I too have had issues with less than reliable aka. However, as a general rule they are very reliable. I haven't heard anything about AAC Other then their Line up suppressors but from what I see, their rifle is impressive. I'm just not sure whether to go with them or Daniel defense at this point. Any experiences with either would be appreciated

Reliability is so subjective and is do too many different factors! Have a bad mag a very reliable platform and it becomes a jamomatic! Have bad ammo same thing. Lack of proper lube- again problems. My 300 Blk is very reliable , with factory ammo- zero problems, the only problems I've had have been in load developement and cast bullets- once these issues have been cleared even with cast bullet - 100% function and reliability! Bullet profile will be and is the one thing you must take into account when loading for the 300 Blk. Some profiles just don't feed well. As for reliabilty I'd put my 300 Blk up against any AK variant any time any place.

I have a homebuilt AR chambered in 300BLK. I've only put around 100 rounds through it due to the political climate and lack of ammo, but I have not ANY problems with it. It's a very smooth running gun and very reliable from what I've seen to far. But of course, I keep my guns running like a clock, clean them every time I shoot, keep them well lubed, etc.

I have yet to shoot my reloads, but now that I actually have the primers, powder, etc. I plan to have a lot more time behind the trigger once I get the recipe just right.

I would get the AR platform rather than the AK, and as long as you stick with reliable components you have a gun that will run forever... the way things are going, it might be cheaper and quicker to build one though.

My home build franken BLK 9" AAC pistol has ~1600 rounds...all went bang. Not a viable performance regimen...but promising nonetheless.

I love the .300BLK AK comments in this thread. Lmao.

I shot a buddy's 300 BLK SBR a couple of months ago. IIRC, the upper was an AAC on a Spikes lower. The rifle shot fine with no hicups for over 200 rds. He said he has about 1K through it with no problems. If you buy a quality AR then use quality mags with good ammo and maintain it properly, then it will be as reliable as any AK. In my limited experience, ARs are not nearly as unreliable and AKs are not nearly as inaccurate as their reputations are.
