300 BLK Pistol, c AAC

300 AAC Blackout is a brilliant caliber, especially if you’re running a suppressed SBR. But for those who don’t have an SBR laying around that they can put a 300 BLK upper on, it becomes a little annoying. You want all the fun of the short barreled awesomeness, but the wait for the ATF to get off their ass can take ages. Continuing with the pre-SHOT Show AR-15 pistol announcement theme tonight, Advanced Armament announces a new 300 BLK AR-15 pistol to fill that NFA-free short barreled niche.

From the post on 300 BLK Talk:

300 AAC Blackout Pistol by Advanced Armament Corp.®

Only available through RSR Wholesale http://www.rsrgroup.com/

MSRP $1639.

These are limited in quantity and in stock now at RSR.

Dealers who order this from RSR – limited offer – comes with dealer special of four boxes of Remington 125 grain Match ammunition for your inventory.

Since this is a pistol, you can take delivery right away – and then file a Form-1 on it, and when the form comes back, you can engrave it and put a stock on it and have an SBR.

Includes black nitrided 4150 barrel, black phosphated Carpenter® 158 bolt, nickel boron bolt carrier with properly-staked carrier-key, enhanced extraction spring system, Blackout® 51T flash suppressor silencer mount, premium Knight’s ArmamentTM URX 3 handguard, Geissele two-stage trigger, Magpul® MOE+TM pistol grip, Magpul 30 round PMAG® magazine, H2 buffer, and pistol receiver-extension.

Finally, a compact AR pistol with the energy of an M4 carbine, and without the abusive concussion of 5.56mm.

300 AAC Blackout, created by Advanced Armament Corp. and Remington Arms®, is a reliable 30-caliber solution for the AR-15 platform that uses existing 5.56mm magazines for a full 30 round capacity. The highly-efficient cartridge can change between standard full power ammunition and quiet-when-suppressed subsonic loads without any adjustments needed to the firearm. 300 BLK has as much energy from a 9 inch barrel as 5.56mm does from a 14.5 inch barrel, all while having less flash, blast, and noise.

Even from a 9 inch barrel, 300 BLK with Barnes® ammunition expands to more than 50 caliber and penetrates 20 inches of 10% ballistic gelatin at 300 yards. Being 30 caliber, 300 BLK is less effected by obstacles, such as automobile glass, than 5.56mm. The gain in frontal area from 5.56mm to 30 cal is 89.1% – even more of a boost than the 60.7% size advantage that 45 Auto has over 9mm. 300 BLK is a SAAMI standard cartridge that is supported by over 150 companies.

It makes a lot of sense, especially since there are a ton of people who are going this route already, and the low price is guaranteed to get some more people on board with the whole 300 BLK thing.

Not everyone is happy about the new product, though. Kevin Brittingham texted me bemoaning the announcement, saying that it was one of the dumbest products AAC has produced. And from the perspective of someone who already has approved NFA items, it does look pretty dumb. Bur for NFA newbies, it’s a great gateway drug into the world of tax stamps.

  1. I cant WAIT to see the article on the .50. I previously did some research on large bore huge power air guns and have always been fascinated.

  2. Also in reply to the premise of the article: None of us have ever claimed that a gun is a guarantee. We have always acknowledged that it only gives us a fighting chance. A single incident where an armed person succumbs anyway is meaningless.

  3. I can shoot my AR pistol offhand at 100 yards with softball sized groupings.

    Those who say it’s not a good platform either:

    A. Have never owned one and are full of shit
    B. Need to practice more
    C. Need to optimize their weapon and probably “B.” as well.

    Also – TTAG writers/RF – if you guys would ever like me to do a writeup on this build I’d be more than happy to.

  4. I always loved DBD, but I had to stop reading it. I have teenagers who are having to learn to avoid porn, so I couldn’t set a bad example by reading an NC-17 comic (no matter that it’s political, not prurient). A tough loss, since I have enjoyed the story lines and the wit.

    Collon Noir is a pale substitute for Damon, but one has to take what one has available….

  5. Sub-2000’s (not p-2000).

    The kel-tec with it’s mag interoperability is what I’d love. I think this gun is ugly. But it would be interesting to shoot. Still at the price and lack of magazine I’d rather have an ugly hi-point.

  6. Well, the bad guys had guns and wouldn’t let the good guys have guns, but the good guys will have them later. Oppressive state + no RKBA in a chilling package. This review is an epic fail in turn.

  7. کربن فعال، یا همان زغال فعال، یک جاذب قدرتمند است که برای خلوص دادن و فیلتر کردن هوا و آب مورد استفاده قرار می‌گیرد. این نوع کربن، با فرآیند فعال‌سازی در دما و فشار بالا تهیه می‌شود و سطح بسیار زیادی از منافذ ریز و پوسته‌های داخلی دارد که به طور انتخابی برای جذب گازها، بخارات و شوینده‌های شیمیایی در آب و هوا عمل می‌کند.قیمت کربن فعال بر اساس اینکه چه نوعی باشد و چه کاربردی داشته باشد می تواتند متغییر باشد.
