Hey @Leshaire the WAR will not work with 300 BLK to my knowledge someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think not.

I wouldn't add adj gas block to 300 blk either I didn't and had no issues running a 16" pistol gas set up. The barrel was radical firearms and gas port .106 ran flawless on milspec lower with carbine buffer I used on my 556

I run a 14.5 556 carbine on my WAR and it's fantastic. It shines on pistol length setups. P The switch is on the outside unlike Gemtech BCG which you have to remove to change. I can shoot closed (smaller port size) allowing less gas in for suppressed. Open no can or closed no can it becomes a single shot like a bolt action rifle for a more accurate shot. Yee Yee I highly recommend the WAR

Why wouldnt it? Literally every single thing other than the barrel is the same on an AR from 556 to 300.

Not saying youre wrong, just seems weird. I do not know for sure though.

DAMN I swore it was on the dust cover side. I just googled it and was wrong. Youre right it would have to be removed.

I put a link for you here to read

The W.A.R. is not for use with .300blk ammunition. Due to the lower pressures of the round, .300 blk ammunition does not cycle reliably in the suppressed setting.
Fack. Whelp back to the drawing board lol

That thing is nice!! Yeah thatd be cool. Im fairly local to you too. We just have to find a place to shoot.
We can try to rent out the scionics range in powder springs one day. It would be pretty cheap with a handful of people.

Subscribed...I'm really leaning towards a 300blk pistol with a SB PDW brace for my SET lower build. I don't plan on running any subs through it any time soon though as I don't have a can to shoot suppressed with.
