Rainier Arms AR pistol in 300BLK.

[Intrepid]

I posted a few pics in the 300 pic thread, but I suppose I should do a little write up here for anyone who cares.
I had this built by Rainier Arms using mostly Rainer branded components. As far as I can tell all their components are very nice high end stuff. The parts that are not Rainier are the Phase 5 pistol tube, Umbrella Co. grip, Geissele trigger, Aimpoint PRO, Fortis rail, and Magpul hand stop. Picture time:























*Disclaimer for AR pistol haters: I would love to have an SBR, but I live in WA... This is a close as I can get.*

What's the specs on the barrel? I've been looking into raniers barrel for an upcoming 300 build I'm doing. Any range time on it yet? Curious about the barrels accuracy mostly.

I went with the "select grade" https://www.rainierarms.com/?page=sh...roduct_id=3391
For a little more they sell an "ultra match". No range time yet... The only things more scarce than 300BLK ammo is my free time!

Nice looking rig!! I know the more I shoot my 6.8 pistol the more I like it! Have fun with it.

That looks great to me, can you compare how the bark/blast is on that compared to a shortie 5.56?

Sorry, I don't have enough experience with either to give you an accurate comparison...

hows it running, and are you using the buffer that comes with the Phase 5 pistol tube?

also, I searched a bit but am still confused. Handstops on AR pistols? anyone got a letter on that?

I had read on the AFG specifically before, but does that go for other handstops as well?

Just doing a quick search I couldn't find anything pertaining specifically to a hand stop.
