The 300 Blackout seems to be the hot new round right now, well AR-15 maker Core 15 just entered their hat into the growing 300 Blackout ring with their new line of uppers. They’ve released three new options, their TAC SBR 300, TAC V.2 300 and MOE 300.
The 300 Blackout gained SAAMI approval in January of 2011 and the AR market has since seen a huge influx of new rifles and uppers from various makers. The 300 Blackout makes use of the current upper and lower reciever as well as bolt and magazines of the current .223/5.56mm AR-15 rifles, making it the perfect way for shooters to step up to a larger caliber bullet without breaking the bank.

I had the same issue.I just sent it back to core they fixed the wiggle with a new upper.they did it with no problem and no B.S.they have a liftime warr.you can’t go wrong with Core 15
I bought the whole gun. The fit between the upper and lower on my CORE 15 is lousy. It wiggles and I can feel it move when I pickup the gun. The problem mostly seems to be with the upper, not the lower, very disappointing.
What are the front iron sighting options available with the MOE upper? No need for a gas block, so what specific rail systems are needed to put a good front sight on?
Thanks!
You can resize 223 brass or reload like any other .30 cal. Buying is for…those other kind of people.
Wow 300 BLK is everywhere these days! Wish the ammo prices were a bit cheaper tho
