[@Rickjames127]

I used to build lots and have similar lengths. Consolidated and now run an 8.5 300blk a 12.5 556 and an 18 556. My abilities in handloading and distance shooting don't justify anything better at distance than the "mk12" style setup yet. Diversification is key. I bedded the barrel on my 300blk and use a tight tolerance design. I'm able to achieve sub half minute groups at 100y using 110gr vmax. Short barrels aren't inherently inaccurate. Shorter barrels have potentially better harmonics in comparison to longer barrels. Optimal bullet time changes with barrel length and so do the accuracy and velocity nodes typically.

To help with the clearance issue on the bottom M-lock slot you can either sand, grind, or mill down the flat side of the nuts. The screws might also need shortened. The same can be done with the QD stud if you just needed it to be a tiny bit shorter. When done coat with aluminum black metal finish. Do at your own risk.

Recently purchased a 10.5 PSA blackout upper and will replace it with a griffin armament rail/concussion device. After watching the issues with the suppresso you had, I think I am going to pass on suppressing it. I just love the look honestly and the intent is to have solid home/personal defense scenario builds. Glad you pointed out the round is capable without the suppressor. I think that it is a myth in the gun community. Like you said, my 556 will basically mirror my 300.

Ah finally, some more Trex content. Really miss the Twitch streams, just got into Tarkov yesterday and have been having a lot of fun working on coms, PID, spotting movement in low vis environments. PS. I will not buy PSA even if my state strikes down the AWB. Their unwillingness to support the 2nd Amendment for residents of my state while other companies still will is abhorrent. They abandoned my state immediately after the AWB, and have refused to ship any AR related parts here even after numerous other companies have resumed business or never stopped doing business with us. If you need an affordable build PLEASE go with other companies that really do support the 2nd Amendment: Aero/BA, BCM, Geissle, Anderson, Stag, Troy, Wilson Combat, SOLGW, LWRC, etc. To clarify, the state is CT and we have had the ability to build "others" for years. Combine that with grandfathered rifles there is a need for parts, and PSA won't even ship triggers, buffer springs, charging handles, etc.

Just finished my bag .300 blk. Shield arms ar15 folding lower, psa 7.5" upper danial defense lower parts kit, nothing speical BCG. Tachicon v3 red dot. I have a deadair sandman supressor. Not including the supressor, but including the optic, ready to shoot 700. Got tool about 8 months to build because i waited for sales. I love the .300blk.

[@ryank.1058]

Hopefully more companies start investing in .300. I got into reloading to make it and I’m happy to make it at around 25-30cpr. Shoot them through my PSA upper and it works very well. Just make sure your lower has a buffer system that’s optimized for your bullet grainage

Every time I watch Lucas do range work, I wish I was a young man again. The guy moves so fluidly, I'm always amazed. At his age I was in tip top shape and could move like a beast. Of course we didn't have all this cool stuff back then. LOL Thanks T-Rex Team

Just picked up one of those 300 BLK PSA uppers and am quite surprised at the quality considering the very small price tag.

[@pkake1319]

Best trex video to date. I say this because Lucas seemed so much more dedicated to serious knowledge. It felt slower. In a great way

[@bishopkamikaze3097]

I built a PSA .300 back in the fall to do more stalk type hunting. Dropped a Vortex red dot and a sling on it and it has served me well at the range and in the deer woods. Think I have just a hair over $600 in the whole setup. I went with a 16" because I wanted the most velocity I could get in the event of a 100 to 150 yd shot.

[@sofloflow]

By the time I was done building it, my "budget" honey badger ended up costing more than the real thing 😅 I like it better tho!

[@rdf4315]

How much does a honey badger usually run ?

[@Marksman5147]

@@rdf4315 they were 3k but the price dropped to ab 2.8k However the Sugar Weasel also made by Q, is literally just the HB without the proprietary recoil system in a standard AR receiver. It also has a buffer tube instead of the HB stock which… is an amazing thing. I fuckin hate mine, the stock is the worst part of the HB. I own both, just buy the SW the standard AR parts are actually a benefit, tho the HB does have a different recoil system that is softer (and a bitch to put back together). The SW is down to $1800 now, they had some on sale for $1500 cuz the brace ban, it’s absolutely worth the $, you can put any AR upper on it, and Q also makes a 13” 5.56 upper for it (and .300 but why would you buy that lol) Either way both the HB and SW are a tad too short for me, 7” with a 6” handguard (that only has 2 M-Lok slots) is restrictive if you have long arms and hands like me, the MCX is a better overall battle rifle (9” barrel shoots hella flat from what I’ve seen but never used directly so), if you want an ultra compact gun get the Sugar Weasel for sure, if you can afford the Gucci then sure get a HB. The 1:5 fast twist barrel is definitely the superior option for .300, I’ve seen PSA putting out 1/8 barrels for .300 which.. have to be ballistically horrible. 1/7 isn’t even good enough, I think the MCX has a 1:6 which for 9” is prob equivalent to 7” 1:5 The twist rate is absolutely important for .300 and getting the proper lethality of it versus 5.56 .300 is a superior round for any civilian context no matter how much that will trigger people, it’s the most devastating round against soft targets I will say aesthetically the color is my fav of any firearm so… I mean the guns are fucking gold lol

[@dannyo6699]

I built a 10.3 inch 300 blk, and it flings the brass like my Mini 14 does. It flies out of the gun. One thing I did on all my pistol builds was put a Magpul K2 pistol grip on them. It's a more verticle styled grip which brings your wrist and grip into a more comfortable hold. It's much easier to manipulate the trigger and hold onto as a pistol grip.

[@dainironfoot102]

Let's not forget about 350 legend!!! I loved my 7.5" until I lost it in a creek!

[@NotDlespy]

Great and informative video. Thanks for trying out what everyone was thinking and doing it well!

[@sirrexo9263]

32:14 you can actually make those mlok compartments usable, if you buy some round mlok nuts and file them down (the scews aswell) untill they are very slim... you will have to install them from the inside, but it should be possible. at least on my dads Hera 3.60SD30 it worked fine, and the space between the can and the handguard looks about as tight as on this one.

[@ashleygibson016]

I did that as well. Cut the screws and put a grinder to the nuts

[@predatorbeguiled4262]

Great video! Love it when you guys do budget build tests.

[@nathanielrita3245]

8:14 He references M-Lok attachments not quite fitting. I’ve had a similar experience building compact AR’s and, depending on your circumstance, could help. Tighten down the M-Lok attachment you so desire to attach in a spot that is guaranteed to clear. Take note of the bolt and the thread count that is sticking out past the end of the M-Lok locking mechanism. File down the bolt to a hair above the length observed in the aforementioned. Check fitment in desired spot, loctite, tighten, complete.

[@scottbaker8437]

Lucas if you read this. If you want a hand stop positioned at 3 or 9 o'clock use a FAB defense stop will also give you a qd mount.

[@TeSolycMandalor]

Since i already have a 16" and 12" uppers, I tried this too. I couldn't find a 7 in 300blk 1:5 twist so I had to custom order one from Mos-tek. Cost me a pretty penny. Stuck it on an extra upper I had. Finished it off with Aero adjustable gas block, gas "toob" and BCM. Maybe I'll get a solvent trap to "clean it up." 😉 😉

I think solvent traps are kill since ATF form 1 stupidity

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

I built a 10.5 300 blk fairly reasonably. Hell of a lot cheaper than a badger. I spent big on a faxon barrel the rest was mig grade. Did use a Wilson Combat handguard and a kak tube with a tailhook brace. It's a tack driver and loves hot 110 varmageden rounds. I call it my tree stand gun. Great for small hogs and deer in Florida. Keep a 1x4x24 nikon speed scope on it. Better than a red dot.

[@teamjon3]

I bought a PSA 7.5 inch 300 blk pistol incl. sb 3 tactical . A couple of years ago for $950. Added a nomad 30 for 650$. And sig red dot and 3x modifier for about 700$. Added a stock paid a tax for a SBR, a light for about 250$. A total of about $ 2800 Shoots like a champ
