1st 300BLK build - Need opinions
Hey shooter's.
So I now think I have enough 556 AR's. I was recently watching John Lovell's 556 vs 300BLK YT video and it got me thinking that I should at least build a 300BLK upper to add to the safe, cause at any point I could pop it on a lower. The main use case for this upper would be home defense and a truck/woods gun. In both cases I dont really see myself taking more than 1-5 shots but I would want all the benefits that BLK offers over 556.
The main three questions I have about the build that I would want guidance on:
1 Barrel length: I'm looking at tubes from Aero precision. I'm not sure if I should go 8" or 10".
2 Rail: Should I go with a 1.3" inner diameter rail that stops at the muzzle device, or go with a 1.75" ID rail that will shroud over the can?
3 Can: Should I get a dedicated K can? or is my Vox S (in jail) a better can for the job?
The configuration I'm kinda thinking right now looks like:
8" Barrel
9-10" rail 1.75 ID
Vox K
I'm just worried that with that short of a barrel and can I won't get the suppression I might want? I dont need massive suppression, but if I am cooking off 1 - 5 rounds indoors at night I want "best case scenario". Thats the whole reason I am going BLK over 556 is because 556 suppress poorly from short barrels.
