The 26 is my daily carry therefore the gun I shoot the most. I've had random malfunctions with my other guns, I suspect they're ammo related, however I have yet to have a single problem with my G26 in over 5000 rds and 4 handgun training courses. I've shot all manner of hollow points, with it...
I suggest, unless you're going to build an SBR and/or get a can, avoid the 300. The 300 shines out of a short barrel, in a 16" barrel there is better ballistics from the 5.56. 5.56 is way cheaper and more affordable.
The 300 also does very well when suppressed, both super and subsonic, but...
I reload 308 and 5.56 so throwing 300Blk into the mix was a no brainer for me. I already had 5.56 and 7.62 cans, plenty of reloading compnents so I just had to buy brass and dies. Before THE PANIC I could get 300 Blk for $10 a box at PSA. But reloading 300 is easy and is costing me about $0.20 a...
I hear you RVB, I just always ask why. I have 3 300 Blkout uppers for my SBRs and some folks are asking why. Well, most are like WTH until I screw on the can and shoot subs. Then they have big grins.
Mount a red dot on it and see if that will zero. If the red dot zeros then the sights are not properly regulated. Also, as Indy Guy 77 stated, it's most likely ammo related.
Opening a can of worms but apart from a plinker, why? A 10/22 is a better and amazingly cheaper plinker. Every time I look at a 9mm AR they are more than a regular AR and mags are expensive compared to AR-15 or Ruger 10/22 mags. They're pretty fussy as far as functioning and for the price of...
I own 2 10.5" SBR AR-15s. Just right off the cuff, no muzzle breaks please. They're loud, they increase muzzle flash and suck for anyone around you. I'm not sure on what property you have but a good flashhider is the way to go. If you want just flashhider, Vortex is the best. If you need some...
Nope, never. The only agency with the authority to request them is the ATF. Full stop.
That stated, if an LEO asks me, I'm showing them. IF they take them away because they think you've unlawfully made an NFA item it's a pain in the ass to get them back.
Sight picture. They're tritium and if I run it all the way back the globes look like big blobs. Run forward they look like crisp dots and the large ring perfectly matches the front Hk ring. It's a fast sight picture and 24 hr available.
Adapters such as a 1/2x28 to 5/8x24. You can use a suppressor on it's caliber and smaller. Bigger would be bad. You're correct, the 5.56 will be louder in a bigger can. However, 5.56 out of a 5.56 is loud anyway. I've shot a bunch of different 5.56 cans and none of them are hearing safe...
IMHO, don't get a 5.56 can. I have 2 and I'm less than impressed, it's still quite loud. Go get a 308 can and adapters. That way when you finally get tired of loud 5.56 suppression you can get a 300 BLKOUT barrel and run a rd that's very quiet suppressed. If I could go back, I'd have just bought...
This. The reason the AR is designed the way it is is to decrease action exposure to dirt/debris. Milling a big opening in the side of the upper receiver is detrimental to the design, IMO. I'm not sure either why the charging handle should be on the side, it's only a few inches from the normal...
I've built more than a few AR-15s in 6.5, 5.56 and 300 BLKOUT. I have 4 BLKOUT SBRs and I've run them super and sub sonic with commercial, H1, H2 and H3 buffers. All run just fine. The most important concern with the AR system is three fold: 1. Gas system 2. Good mags 3. Proper lubrication.

I really like the CZ 75 line. I'm not a fan of the manual safety models but I do like the decocker models. Having shot the 75 with a steel frame a lot I'd say avoid them. What! Why?!!? I'll punch you! Welp, here's my beef with any steel frame gun; heat. After shooting around 100-200 rds steel...
I have the FNP 45 that I had the slide milled for a Red Dot sight (RDS-Leupold Delta Point). The gun is absolutely FANTASTIC. The grip is great and adjustable, I use the medium grip. My stand by gun is the Glock 19 and while the FNP45 has a bit more girth it's not horrible. The recoil is very...
