I've been reading a good bit about the .300 AAC BLK and looking at a couple of weapons. I also am thinking about going the SBR route. Seems like what I've been reading about this combination is mostly good. If I decide to do this I've about settled on a Noveske 10" Lo Pro W/Vis and also taking advantage of their SBR services. The main thing I'm worried about is the availability of ammunition. Another option would be to get a 14.5" upper to put on my present lower. I could swap out uppers when ever I wanted. Also use it for hunting purposes. I presently have a LMT lower with Geiselle SSA, BCM 14.5 Middy, T-1 and UBR stock. If I went with the 14.5" .300AAC BLK only real difference would be caliber. That was one reason I was thinking about going the SBR route also. Completely new weapon but would limit purpose to mainly SD/HD and short range work. But that is the main purpose of the round/SBR combination from what I've read. Gives you a lot to think about. The versatility of the round gives you so many options.
300 BLK is really appealing as an HD caliber addition to my existing AR set-up. I had been considering 6.8 for HD purposes, but at this point, I'm leaning in favor of picking up the lower priced Noveski upper... and waiting a bit for more ammo availability.

I think the 300BLK has alot of potential for home defense. HD calls for similar capabilities as an entry weapon for LE and SBR's is where it is at for that application. The 300BLK performs well in SBR's so it seems to be a natural choice. I think the 110 V-Max would be the best projectile for it currently with reduced penetration and adequate terminal performance.
Now I have to figure out the legalities of keeping an SBR for home defense. I think I'll have to put it in trust so I can have my wife's name on it as well. Otherwise she wouldn't be able to use it when I'm not home from my understanding of the law. What a pain...

Maybe my google skills are lacking today but I can find any on those sites or i can't view them cause I'm stuck using my IPhone till April 8. I did send an email to AAC asking about it as they don't have any ammo listed on their site. I'm looking to buy 2-300 rds of subsonics.
Oh midway is out of stock and backordered.

Everyone is out of stock and backordered except maybe Clyde. AAC is getting 300,000 rounds next week but as far as I know, it is already sold out to people who placed orders. It is best to order it to ensure getting it.
