How’s the gas on these things when suppressed. I’m assuming I’ll be gassed out.

[-]

Read0215@reddit

Well most .300 BO are gassed to have enough gas to cycle subs, so when you combine supers and a high back pressure can then yeah, it will have some extra gas for sure

[-]

CHESTYUSMC@reddit

Definitely not... 12.5-16 inch 5.56 is the way for you to guy...

.300BLK has a larger learning curve since it has more bullet drop regardless of your load, you can't switch between super's and sub's as easily as people like to claim. (I got hate for this last time, but I still to this day have not seen someone run 40k rounds through a .300blk that is made to cycle both cartridges because it beats the piss out of the gun, or won't run subs.)

Not to mention it's more expensive than 5.56 if you do decide to commit and get over the training curve, and double the ballistic dope, and such.

Some people love .300, and that's ok, but do your wallet, and yourself a favor, grab yourself a 5.56 first, and decide if you want a .300 later.

Great, thanks for the insight

[-]

Jason1435@reddit

If you are or planning to shoot suppressed yes.

[-]

Ok-Departure3749@reddit

I would say no. 556 ar15 for first gun. Ammo cheaper so more shooting time

[-]

FrankyBenjamin@reddit

Agreed. .300 is a pretty niche caliber. 556 is much more versatile and affordable to shoot. You also don’t need to spend anywhere this much on a first AR. You’d be better served getting something cheaper, buying an optic, ammo, mags, and a light and spending time at the range.

[-]

EchoWhiskey_@reddit

yep

[-]

Confident-Stranger84@reddit

What first 5.56 rifle would you recommend,

[-]

MisterAC@reddit (OP)

Just my opinion, but no

[-]

Confident-Stranger84@reddit

Thanks, what do you recommend for a 556 ar15 then? I’m in GA so I don’t think there’s that many rules about rifles but haven’t done enough research.

[-]

UndeadZombie81@reddit

As long as you follow federal rules about sbrs and full auto ga doesnt have anything extra about long guns

[-]

MisterAC@reddit (OP)

I just linked another deal that I think is cheap. Never heard of it before though.

[-]

strizzl@reddit

Bereli hs some DDm4v7s at an insanely good price

Here's a solid option for a first AR-15. Can't speak to the quality of the optic but at least it's there so you can get started right out of the box then upgrade later as needed.

risengrind19@reddit

I wouldnt get a .300 BLK gun for your first AR, unless your willing to spend way more on ammo. You wont be able to shoot nearly as far with this as a 14.5 to 16" 5.56 AR either.

[-]

Confident-Stranger84@reddit

What 5.56 AR do you recommend for my first?

[-]

Bearloom@reddit

How much are you looking to spend, and do you like fiddling with things to make them just right for you or do you want something that's pretty much set already?

[-]

Confident-Stranger84@reddit

Less than $1k ideally, and pretty much set would be nice. Thinking rifle, optic, and light all for under $1k?

[-]

zombrian666@reddit

All that? Maybe palmetto state armory. Either a whole rifle or build kit. Just a name brand reliable value rifle? Probably IwI or ruger 556 for around $700.

[-]

risengrind19@reddit

Yeah what I suggested is obviously out of the question now. See there was a rifle just posted with an optic for $800 in here but have no idea what theyre like. I definitely wouldnt buy the $500 PSA rifle as my first if I did it over again.

[-]

Confident-Stranger84@reddit

thanks yall

i might just take the advice and get a reliable whole rifle

[-]

zombrian666@reddit

This should be like a second rifle for this person, haha. Next time. I actually got a ruger for my first. No complaints. I actually got the posted pdw here later on, and again, no complaints. Id personally stretch the budget and put the accessories on hold and get ammo. Have fun for a little while. Maybe get the accessories around black Friday.

[-]

risengrind19@reddit

If your budget for just the weapon itself is around this mark you could go alot of different directions. Reddit special BCM (Bravo Company Manufacturing) upper with an Aero or PSA lower. There's been alot of great DD 5.56 deals the past couple months off and on. You'll almost always save money typically buying an upper and a lower separately. Unless you absolutely need ambidextrous controls a $299 PSA lower with a giesselle trigger, with either of those two uppers is going to be an excellent rifle to learn on. Way nicer than most people get for their first. I'm sure someone else will chime in as well.

[-]

Psychological-Drive4@reddit

That’s a lot of $ for a NONpiston setup

[-]

CHESTYUSMC@reddit

Not anymore...

[-]

MattieHeighs@reddit

Hmmm… do you live in reality?

[-]

Puzzled-Garlic-3193@reddit

Should I get this or a sugar weasel??

[-]

ColdTexaRican@reddit

I bought both and kept the sugar weasel. The DD was fine but I like that the Sugar weasel doesnt have proprietary parts. Its also lighter and I like the cherry bomb system. Plus the 1:5 twist barrel which is outstanding. People hate on Q but most have never owned one. I will say that I dont love the adjustable gas block so mines is set up for suppressor use only. But I wont be getting rid of it anytime soon.
