Planet Optics
Weidnors
I'm assuming you meant Optics Planet instead of Planet Optics. What is Weidnors? A Google search doesn't give anything that looks familiar.
It sounds like a suppressor is highly recommended by most. Is it worthwhile looking for a barrel with one integrated or possibly shortening the barrel and fixing one to it? My guess is no, but thought I'd ask.
Hmm. That's an interesting point I hadn't considered, but leads to some more questions:Right now my HD set-up is 5.56 with a 10.5" bbl and a can on an SBR.
You can have a suppressor pinned to a short barrel to save an extra tax stamp, but for me I want to be able to move the cans around if need be.
What ammo do you use in the 300 that you trust? I have yet to find any subsonic that wasn't ballistically pretty much like .45 acp. Leaning toward 110 gr tipped which are supers but still well into hearing safe.My primary HD rifle is an 8" .300blk SBR with a can and subsonic ammo. My secondary is a 5.56 10.5" SBR with a can and standard ammo. Both have Vortex Red Dots on them. I built both of them up from stripped receivers.
I prefer non-integrated suppressors. That way I can move them around as needed.

1. Stamp for the can (unless they get the hearing protection act to work out this year). If going rifle (buttstock that you can legally shoulder) and barrel under 16" then that is another stamp. Only for the lower though, so you can switch uppers as you see fit with just one stamp. Works great for AR type rifles.Hmm. That's an interesting point I hadn't considered, but leads to some more questions:
- I'm not familiar with tax stamps. I understand I would need one for the can, but would I need a second for the barrel (under 16") or the assembled rifle if I don't pin the can?
- Can you purchase short barrels alone or would you have to have a longer one modified? Or, do you have to purchase a full upper? Where?
- How difficult is it to find rails for such a setup? I'm guessing you would have to float it.
- Let's assume I want red dot, folding backup sights, and light. Is there enough room for a vertical grip as well?
- Would you mind posting pics so I can see your rig?

2. You can purchase short barrels without a stamp for use with an AR pistol. If you put a stock on it becomes an SBR
5. 7.5" pistol on top of a 10.5" SBR
Heavy pretty much explained it. The top one (SBR) has a buttstock that you can legally shoulder with a registered SBR and the bottom one (pistol) has what may look like a buttstock but it's actually a Sig Forearm brace which the BATFE ultimately declared (after a bit of waffleling) that you cannot shoulder it. Basically you cannot have a buttstock on a pistol or use any other device to shoulder it. That would classify it as an SBR which is a BIG NO-NO without a tax stamp.So you get a stamp on the lower and not the barrel? Does that mean you just stamp the receiver portion and can swap out anything else (including the barrel) and have it still be on the same stamp? I guess I need to do some more research on NFA stamps.
Pardon my ignorance here, but what's the difference between the two? How is one classified as a pistol, but the other is an SBR?
