Just got my first of 3 nfa stamps in the mail today! Super excited.
Heres the 300blk upper http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab151/blc628/300_zpsd7d80a90.jpg And the almost MK18 upper http://i859.photobucket.com/albums/ab151/blc628/556_zps3582a326.jpg I've got a Thompson Machine THIRTY silencer about 2 months away from being approved for the 300blk. The 556 upper has it's own lower that's still waiting on a stamp. Thinking about a specwar for that one. I've also got a Thompson Machine Zephyr pending. I want to build a 4.5" 22lr only upper for that one. in case anybody's curious, it was 9 months and 28 days mail box to mail box. Mailed my form 18 Feb. |

Mine is going to be an 11.5" in 5.56. I also have an almost complete 5.5" 9mm upper with HK Diopter style sights and using a Spike's mag block, just missing the CMMG bolt. Eventually when I start reloading and can afford a .30 suppressor I'm going to make a 300 blackout upper and use that as my go to caliber, I'd already registered my form as a 5.56 by the time I learned more about 300 blackout. I'll post pics of mine in the SBR pic thread when it's done, but my rifle in 5.56 configuration will be: Spike's lower Magpul CTR with thick pad Noveske QD receiver plate Hogue overmolded grip Spike's nickel boron battle trigger with JP Enterprises 3.5 lb springs (I need a round hammer for the CMMG 9mm bolt, otherwise I'd have gone Geissele) Currently it has a RRA star selector, but I'm thinking about switching it to an ambi Battle Arms, Hogue grips have issues with ambi selectors but the BA seems to work with them from what I've read Spike's Billet trigger guard Spike's upper PRI gasbuster charging handle (I've had it for years, finally get to put it in something) Spike's BCG Seekins 10" BAR Rail Magpul AFG Surefire x300ultra light Magpul backup irons Primary Arms T1 Micro clone AAC Brakeout 51t muzzle device And still to purchase, a DD CHF 11.5" barrel with a low profile gas system I'll probably also put a Noveske KX-3 flaming pig on the end of it to preserve my hearing and to not piss off the other guys at the range  And, of course, a ton of PMags  This build has been several years in the making, and I'm excited to be close to the finish point

Sounds like it's going to be a pretty sweet setup! Can't wait to see some pics. Do you have the PA T1 micro clone already? I'm curious how well they work. I haven't decided if i want to put any optics on mine yet. I want to keep it simple and lightweight, but a micro redot might fit the bill.
As an aside, for my 245gn subsonic reloads on the 300 I can't use pmags. The rails on the inside prevent me from loading more than a a few rounds. I have to use Lancer 7.62x40wt mags for those. |
| Yeah, I'm pretty excited about this build. Originally I had two of the PA red dots, but only one finished rifle. They're so inexpensive I wound up trading one plus some PMags to a buddy of mine for a computer. I've run the other one on my RRA M4gery and it's really bright, and the dot is nice and sharp, and it holds the point of aim between sessions. I'd definitely recommend one. I'd love to have a more expensive optic, but at this point I'd rather spend that money on ammo or save up for a suppressor. |

I sent mine around the 20th or so and I was told a few weeks ago not to expect it until March!!! Here's hoping! Quoted:

You mailed yours Feb 18? Man, mine should be here any day now! I mailed mine on Feb 19th. Nice 300! Well that's a way to kill my day! J/k I've just been waiting for so long ( just like everybody else ), I've been checking my mailbox everyday. Well, I guess I can always dream then.
