What 300BO 16” barrel are you getting for the extra 120.00 with the solo?

 

[goalie]

I'd email and ask specifics. He responded quickly to me when I emailed. That said, he may be extra busy today.

Mine was about 23.6 or so, a little heavier than listed.

If you're asking who makes it, all our barrels are made by Green Mountain Barrel

@Solo300 you ever think of putting customer builds on your website with weights to drum up even more business? I know the first time I saw thegman's build that I was in for at least one upper.

The first time I saw Thegman's build, I had to take at least two cold showers...

I'm right there with ya. It was refreshing to have them come in stock when the company said they would, not like SWFA "estimates".....

I do have to admit that I did order one for myself before posting here that they were back in stock.

Thanks!

That’s what I was wondering. It’s not that much more money to have a port less 300 BO barrel, and a whole upper “as intended” by you guys.

In case you haven’t been paying attention here - you’re in the perfect position to go to a barrel maker and get the pencil barrels everyone here wants to go with your upper - specifically a 6x45 16” threaded in as light of a contour as possible…

I use a TN Arms Carbon Lower (3.7oz) and the MBT-2 Flat (2.4oz). The trigger does NOT feel great in the polymer lower, debating about dropping a drop-in trigger that doesn't touch the lower receiver walls as it moves.

Is the shoe/blade touching the slot sides it goes through? I was putting an MBT in and couldn’t get it through. Little file work and went right in. I have a flat and curved. Trying to decide which I like and I have 2 lightweight lowers so easy to shoot, swap and shoot. I think it’s the 15 degree grip I don’t like as much with the flat. 15 degree feels much better with curved. Going to see if I can shim it so works like a 0 degree and see how I like that

OK. Y’all finally got me to break yesterday. I’ve ordered a 300 SOLO receiver and barrel nut, TN carbon fiber lower and a Shaw 16” port less barrel yesterday. That seems like a good start. I’m looking to build a “ clean” minimalist rifle. Anybody run their build with just some kind of foam tube for a barrel forearm? What’s a good trigger and parts kit? I have a TBAC Ultra 9 but I want to get a dedicated can that is smaller. Any recommendations ? Any Black Friday sales that I need to know about?
Thanks…….. I think?

I'd order the Scythe Ti Black from SilencerShop.

I love my TriggerTech Diamond 2 stage. I got it on crazy sale tho.

The only parts kit that is ultralight is the NFA polymer LPK. I replaced the trigger with above and the grip with a Hogue 15 degree for like $25.
