..I just bought the last black Areo Precision 16" 300 Blackout upper as seen below that Optic Planet had in stock...all the ones I liked at PSA sold out...
...you could still get a Cerakoted one...a few of those are left...
...I was trying to wait but afraid to miss out...
...it has no bolt carrier group or charging handle with it like there are with the PSA kit BV has...
...if they don't sell out, later I will buy an unmarked
Toolcraft nickel boron plated BCG (bolt carrier group) and
PSA drop in 3.5 lb match trigger from PSA, but the rest of the parts needed I will get @ Optics Planet...that way I'll save $60 on an identical BCG and $50 on a comparable brand name trigger...
...I believe the same company (Toolcraft) makes the BCG for both PSA and for Areo so I will get the PSA one as it is so much less...
...I found a $29 Areo parts kit and $50 Areo brand buffer with the right spring @ Optics Planet, and a nice $50 Houge Overmold stock and $25 pistol grip...in a fit of detail I also put a $24 Areo charging handle and a $10 Houge plastic trigger guard in the cart...
...this rifle should be really nice...now I only wish I had a cool
Areo lower for it like CZ Loco bought...LoL...one of our lowers should be fine though...
...the barrel has a wicked fast 1-7 twist rate so it can stabilize the heavy bullets...the PSA uppers have barrels with 1-8 twist, still very fast for .30 cal...1-10 is nominal for most .30 cal these days, but many if not most .30 cal. are 1-11 or 1-12...those shoot light bullet really fast...that is what people use to want...
...velocity gets so low with the 300 Blackout that normal twist rates for .30 cal do not always work...that fast a twist rate would be too fast for lighter .30 cal bullets at high velocity, but the 300 Blackout doesn't really
do high velocity...



...now we are looking for some one to make duc lowers...is there an image file available...???...
