Up here wolves and other predators make quick work of feral pigs. If I lived somewhere they had them, my wife would probably leave me since I would be sitting out hunting them every night. I have had feral pig from Florida, and I really liked it. A bit gamier then domestic pig and leaner, so you have to brine it before you cook it, but very tasty. On top of that you are doing a service by shooting them, and they are probably one of the smartest prey there is, I can see why it is getting so popular. Plus one heck of a good excuse to go out and get some decent Night Vision equipment. What's not to like? Sorry Cowboy, we got off thread.LebbenB wrote: PigS. Plural, my friend.

And yes, the hole can also become a grill pit. I'm just efficient that way.

LOL, not at all Leb, I enjoy the talk about hogs especially since my last hogLESS hunt did not produce anything, in spite of me going all Infantry and hitting the ground in search and destroy mode...not a single hog to be found.Siscowet wrote:

I might think about doing that with the upper reciever I just bought. Any recomendations for 300 Blk barrells and barrel extensions?LebbenB wrote: If you're happy with the Bushmaster, you might want to look at 300 BLK a little closer. All you need to do is pull the barrel/barrel extension and replace it with a 300 BLK barrel. And you're done - same bolt/BCG, same mag, same mag capacity. If you don't want to lose the .223, then simply build an upper assembly in 300 BLK and then you can swap as the spirit moves you. It'll also free up money for a dedicated optic for it.

Will go with a Carbine length gas system. Is the gas system specific to 300 Blackout, or is it the same as a 5.56? If my memory serves me correctly, generally a pistol powder is used, would that entail a change in the gas system? I will be using a complete Olympic Arms Plinker plus as a base to modify. This is a carbine, so would I need to change the gas system, or simply swap it to a new barrel? Sorry Cowboy, Hijacked the thread again.LebbenB wrote: The barrel and barrel extension, gas block, muzzle device and gas tube will usually be together as a unit unless otherwise specified. The barrel will have a twist rate of 1:7. There are two types of gas systems for 300 BLK - carbine length and pistol length. If you're going to shoot nothing but sub-sonics (200+ grains) choose the pistol length gas tube. If you want to shoot both super- and sub-sonic ammo, choose the carbine length. I prefer the flexibility of the carbine length system myself because it opens up a lot of bullet weights that can be used.
AAC makes a very good barrel for 300 BLK, as do Noveske, CMMG, and Wilson Combat. If memory serves, these makers do not include a muzzle device with the barrel. The barrel materials range from standard chrome-moly steel to stainless and the coatings and linings include Parkerizing/chrome lining to nitro-carburizing. Both Midway and Brownell's sell a line of 300 BLK barrels.
