@C1PHER If it makes you feel better, I hear that having the barrel free floating from the handguard can help a lot with accuracy, should you attach a bipod to it.

Lol, It's a 300BLK with a 10" barrel, so I'm not exactly planning on sniping anything

Ah, yeah maybe not that advantageous after all, heh.

It just turned out a little heavier than I wanted it to for the size

I am curious what size groups that can make at 100m

Just cuz

If I ever find a 100m range to shoot at, I'll give it a try

10”, that’s crazy short. Pistol or sbr?

Pistol, for now anyway

Makes for quite a large "handgun" though

I’ve shopped around for 300 BO in rifle configuration. Any idea why there are so many 300 BO pistols floating around?

300 BO was designed to work with short barrels, so if you're at the 16" required for a rifle you probably don't have any advantages over 5.56

A little tricky to conceal in your righty whiteys, I would imagine. Plan on getting a can for that, or will that even work well with a barrel that short?

^ That probably answered my question.

My understanding was a 300 blackout was bigger than 556

10" is almost "long" for 300 blackout. I was debating between that or an 8"

556 is not acceptable for hunting deer where I live. But 300 blackout is

It is, but 5.56 is very dependent on barrel length to achieve good velocity, and blackout is not. So blackout has a distinct advantage when in pistol/sbr form

Ok

5.56 being as cheap as it is, I wouldn't have gone for blackout if I had built a full-length rifle

I’m tempted to put a RD optic on my 500.

Many so I’d have an optic ready for my future AR purchase

Need a longer barrel to make it a better hunting shotgun

It’s my understanding you can hunt with 18.5 but longer is better

Oh, sorry Gabe: to answer your question I'm still heavily debating the can, but it will definitely work for a blackout that short

Those are apparently the 2 things blackout was designed to do: have a short barrel and work well with silencers

Not a bad home defense setup in that case

That it’s main purpose right now

I'm not familiar with what shotgun ballistics look like with barrel length, though

My understanding is that a slugs go longer and faster with a longer barrel

Slugs definitely seem like they would benefit, not sure on shot

Wonder how much difference you’re really looking at, though...

@GrumpyGabe my next door neighbor has the AR variant

I think for shot the choke matters more than length

Nice... I like the compactness of the bullpups, though I've never used one, personally. Big fan of shotguns for their versatility, though.
