[QUOTE="44-40, post: 2850102, member: 126985"] I've had an 8.6 Blackout for after it first came out. My first response is another sucker is born. I found it to be a rather worthless ***. Barrel was horrible galling, pits, & tears completely across the to the land ...a clean patch revealed rusty and full of fine metal chips, coming off the worst rifling I've ever seen. Had to lap it to find the rifling, which was bad at the chamber but towards the end was in better shape and it might possibly shoot. Faxon did not have this 3 twist nailed down. I told them I'd trade it for an 8 twist, but they finally got back after 2 months and said they a re under license and it must be a 3 twist. The 3 twist is very limiting, it blew up a 225 gr bullet following Faxon load data inside the muzzle brake and destroyed the brake and the magneto speed bayonet, first shot rather costly. You can load these take off the muzzle device and it turns into a shotgun ...shoot it inside a cardboard box and hit every side of the box....makes intresting house gun. The Faxon 225 gr load is toooo hot blows primers. So what's it good for not much if you want to shoot supers....copper only there. And keep lead subs 285, & 300 gr in the 1000 fps or less 900 fps may be better for a suppressor as this caliber will destroy suppressors and muzzle breaks rather easily. It took a year to warm up to this turd, its functions good now with 300 gr Bergers and 300 SMK fairly accurate and hits pretty good with a 300 gr bullet. The light recoil is kinda of fun to shoot. Other than that I have no purpose for it. The 450 Bushmaster with Faxon 16 twist will shoot 502 gr bullets super and sub fairly accurate and hits with alot more energ for close sub hunting IMO a much better caliber and more versatile, even more fun to shoot. I use standard everything on my ARs no heavy buffers, or springs...except 9 mm. I adjust usually open the gasport add an adjustable gas block. and it functions fine. I find the 3 twist a limiting gimik, too much case capacity for subs only, which is all its good for and not enough capacity for supers. And I do not recommend buying one...but I had to try it. Now I know. [/QUOTE]
