Anybody know if the new colt MRR .300 blackout will be available here? I see the pre sales for 5.56 but can't find much on the 300.
 
The .300 Blackout makes sense if this was America and suppressors were legal and the AR platform was non-restricted, but since this is Canada I don't see the appeal? Factory ammo is hard to come by and prohibitively expensive making handloading the only practical option. Even then, associated costs are far greater than for .223/5.56mm. I'm not knocking the caliber, I like it and would definitely have at least one rifle chambered for it if things were different, but I see it as a pretty limited niche caliber. Now if someone wanted to pick one up, just 'cause, no problem! The more power to you. I'm just wondering if I'm missing something by not having jumped on the .300 Blackout bandwagon? :)
 
They are making .300 Blackout at the request of PD across Canada because of the knock down potential of the cartridge and it's easy to suppress.

I don't know, I collect guns and tend to be tempted by the uncommon. I also reload (mostly weatherby calibers) so reloading cost isn't an issue. I have several Colt ARs already with tough to find rollmarks/ models. And restricted evil black guns are a good way to rebel against our horrible gun laws. So the more in Canada and the more people own in relation to long guns the better as far as I'm concerned. So a Colt .300 blackout is pretty sweet in my books.

Edit- Hey Rebel Rouser you know anymore about these coming onto the civilian market?
