I've got an 8.5" AR pistol chambered in 300 blackout. Up until recently, I hadn't had many issues with it. It was a Hardened Arms upper receiver and I ended up trading the upper out for an Anderson sporter style that doesn't have a dust cover.
Anyway, just before that change and now after, I'm having some failures to load. At first it was some hokey reloads I was making and I was fine with making something different. But now it doesn't even like to feed the v-max and other ammo that has shot just fine in the last two years.
I've checked it and compared with my other 300blk and I'm pretty positive that the feed ramps are the issue. I've got a quote that I can get them fixed for about $100, or I can look into getting a new barrel.
This isn't a gun I care too much about accuracy. It just needs to be reliable and eat about anything I throw at it.
Should I rebarrel or have this one worked on?
Ps- round count is about 1000-ish.
