I looked at the 7.62x39 version from the same company. The easy availability and low cost of surplus ammo is a really good selling point. A major downside is that it they are not super-reliable with M4 magazines.
I have a lower that needs a mate - I even looked (VERY briefly) at a 458-SOCOM. Upwards of 50 bucks for a 20 round box of ammo..... HA
300 Blackout is no more/less expensive than 30-30 or 7.62 NATO which is a good selling point to me. AK ammo is only "cheap" when it is the military surplus style steel case with berdan primers. Quality brass/boxer ammo for 7.62x39 costs the same as 300 Blackout.
I really really really did get pretty close to getting the 7.62x39 upper but the ammo/magazine combination pushed me over to the 300.
...now I need to find a sighting system so I don't have to shoot it like a shotgun.
I am almost certainly going to put a low power scope on the rifle - I am just not sure what I want to buy.
