#300BLACKOUT

Tequila Sunrise in our Photo Of The Day, as we take a closer look at a 300 BLK Precision Rifle with a pretty nice looking carbon-nickel barrel with an Enticer LTI 762 suppressor to keep things silent.

FN have announced the introduction of a .300 Blackout chambered addition to their FN SCAR 15P range of pistols, the civilian version of the FN SCAR-SC personal defense weapon. The 15P was announced back in 2022 and we got our hands on one to review in September 2023. The new SCAR pistols will be available in black and flat dark earth finishes and have been optimized for .300BLK with a gas regulator with settings for subsonic and supersonic ammunition, a .30 caliber flash hider and a dedicated magazine.

James is at LMT to talk about their .300 BLK PDW – an ultra-compact, lightweight AR-type rifle built from the LMT MRP platform. Check the video for more details.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves is at CZ’s Headquarters in Uhersky Brod, Czech Republic, to discuss the newest caliber of the CZ 600 Trail – and perhaps the most anticipated – the .300 Blackout. This will allow users to suppress their bolt action CZ 600s, resulting in no action noise and extremely quiet performance when using subsonics and a good suppressor. Get the specs and details on today’s video.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves talks to Brian Marshall, head of the Steyr Academy, about the upcoming Steyr AUG in .300 Blackout. Already in service in Europe, the .300 Blackout Steyr AUG is going to be coming soon to the USA. Watch this video for the full details.

In this episode of TFBTV’s GunCon 2023 coverage, James speaks with Creative Arms, an Iowan boutique AR-15 manufacturer, about their integrally suppressed .300 Blackout AR-15. This carbine is different than many other integrally suppressed AR-15 options out there in that the Creative Arms uses a removable baffle core that can be swapped, but perhaps more importantly, it can be removed while the purchaser waits for their suppressor paperwork to clear or if the gun is being brought to a place where a suppressor is not permitted. How…creative?

Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! Each day, we feature at least one stunning photograph that captures the beauty and diversity of the world of firearms. Today we have a suppressed Hera Arms 10,5″ 300 Blackout on show, and that’s it!

Welcome everyone to the 190th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

New for 2023, MarColMar is introducing a variant of the CETME-L in .300 Blackout. In this video, Hop stops by the MarColMar booth at NRAAM 2023 to check it out. This is one of the vanishingly few roller delay guns in .300 BLK, however, there are some quirks to suppressing roller guns to consider.

If you want to shoot some suppressed 300 AAC Blackout rounds downrange and have $999 laying around, there’s a new upper receiver waiting for you at Brownells. The BRN-180SH is a 10″ upper receiver, optimized to be used with suppressors, and will fit any standard AR-15 or BRN-180 lower.

New for 2023 from Palmetto State Armory are AKS-74U (a.k.a. Krinkov) style pistols. PSA brought to SHOT Show 2023 the versions of their new Krinkovs chambered in 5.45x39mm and 5.56x45mm, which will be the first to hit the shelves, however, they will also be offering these pistols chambered in .300 Blackout and 7.62x39mm. The PSA Krinkovs are completely made in-house and will be available in Q1-Q2 2023.

Welcome everyone to the 175th edition of ‘Hot Gat or Fudd Crap?’, one of our many series here on TFB. If you’re new to the series, this is where we look at the most obscure firearms that are actually for sale and ask the question – is this Gat a sweet deal or only has a Fudd appeal?  Each week the TFB staff weighs in with their thoughts, but readers get the final say in the poll at the bottom of each article.

SIG Sauer was recently awarded a 5-year, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract valued at $5 million to provide the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) with a new Reduced Signature Assault Rifle. The RSAR is essentially the MCX Rattler in .300BLK but with a slightly longer barrel, different gas system, and packaged with a SIG SL-series suppressor, making this, perhaps, the ultimate PDW. The search for a weapon to fit the RSAR requirement has been ongoing since 2017. SOCOM describes the RSAR as a ‘PDW system [which] will allow Operators to have maximum firepower in a concealable weapon.’

In this episode of TFBTV, Hop reviews the CMMG Dissent, an ultra-compact PDW-style AR chambered in .300 Blackout. The Dissent has a recoil system fully contained in the upper receiver, which allows it to mount a folding stock or brace, and even fire folded. These are also available in 5.7x28mm and 5.56x45mm but .300 Blackout is (of course) the one you want.

The goal of TFB’s Photo Of The Day is to give your eyes something worth watching and add information to your brain about new, interesting facts from the world of firearms. Over the years we have shown firearms and soldiers from north to south, east to west in almost any imaginable situation and climate. Today we have the Heckler & Koch HK437 in .300 Blackout (7.62x35mm) which H&K calls the “Sneaker”. The rifle is equipped with a VarioRay laser light module from Rheinmetall and an EOTech EXPS.
