Looking at transitioning from the 7.62x39 to the .300 blackout and need some opinions.
Have sks and ammo I might sell to fund an upper .300 and another AR lower
SKS is cheap, parts are cheap and ammo is readily available and cheap. However it is a heavy gun with limited sight mounting options.
.300Blackout uses same parts (except barrel) as my AR, can shoot subsonic suppressed (if I ever get to that point) and much lighter. BUT and yes that's a big but (not talking about the wife here) ammo is definitely more expensive and harder to come by.
I like the idea of being able to just change uppers and have more knockdown power but not sure that's enough justification.
Any thoughts?
